Before I list the winners I want to say that this is the first blog hop or fest that I've ever voted on. And it was EXTREMELY hard. Seriously, we almost had 100 people participate and my list had so many of you on there. Every day I am blown away by the talent that I find on the internet and how wonderfully supportive this community can be. So thank you for letting me read all of your hookers!!
And the winners are...
Hope Roberson's Hooker-#53-Tyson McFrost (Frost Lord): "It's been five years since my mom took my life." Intrigue, darkness, and to the point. This first line hooked me into finding out who this character is and what happened to him.
Honorable mentions:
#71 Deana Bernhart
#10 Amanda Olivieri
#3 Tobi Summers
#32 JA Bennett
#45 Kimberly Gabriel
Jenny Morris' Hooker-#10-Amanda Olivieri: "Life is a powerful thing—blood, breath, heartbeat—but death is stronger." Roslyn's character spoke to me. We only judged on the first 3 but by the last hooker I was convinced I had to know what happens to these characters.
Honorable Mentions:
#53 Tyson McFrost (Frost Lord)
#24 Mutterings from the Oubliette
#45 The Art of Infiltration
#64 1000th Monkey
#82 Theresa Paolo
Cassie Mae's Hooker- #77-For Science: The first hooker had me: Shoes. If anyone ever asks what I was thinking as I fell through the interdimensional portal to Underhill, I can honestly say, "shoes."
I'd read the whole book just off this sentence! Funny and exciting all balled together in awesomeness!
Honorable Mentions:
#39 Gossip Girl
#5 Lisa
#45 Kimberly
#54 Michael
#28 Amy
Kelley Lynn's Hooker- #14 A.J. Locke: "I was in a strip club trying to help a ghost get laid; which was challenging, but not impossible." I laughed SO HARD when I read this line. Oh my gosh, this line alone would cause me to HAVE to read the whole book. SO funny.
Honorable Mentions:
#24 Mutterings from the Oubliette
#1 Writing on the Wall
#9 Michael Abayomi
#53 Tyson McFrost
#5 Lisa Regan
Jade Hart's Hooker- #43 Ilima Todd: Her writing was direct and had a undertone of darkness. The talk of poison, bleeding, and the breathing of someone 'not' her intrigued me to want to read the book. :)
Honorable Mentions:
#45 Art of Inflitration
#23 Emily R King
#18 Suzi- Literary Engineer
#24 Mutterings of an Obuilette
#4 Unyielding
What I loved about listing the Honorable Mentions is that we all write different things, YA Contemp, YA fantasy, NA fantasy, MG Fantasy, and YA SF. So as a group of writers, I think we represent a broad range of readers. And you can tell that we all have different tastes. Different things that draw us in, or leave us begging for more. But we also had a few overlaps. Thanks so much for joining us and we will be in contact with the winners to arrange for your prizes.
Congratulations to all the winners!!!!! so much talent.
