About the Book: Lil isn't just an average teenager. She's one of the Nephilim - the descendants of humans and angels - which gives her some serious psi skills and a mission for redemption. Just when Lil thinks she's found a balance between her normal life with human friends and her training to become a Guardian, she's warned that someone close to her will betray her. When the boy she loves starts acting strangely and one of her human friends acquires a supernatural ability, Lil begins to realize that someone is manipulating the people she loves...and won't stop until she's been lured to the dark side. 

About the Author, From the Author, Ednah Walters

I grew up reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries and fell in love with books. I enjoy good love stories, tingly  mysteries and epic adventures. When I finished my college and decided to be a stay-at-home mother, I devoured books like they were going out of production, until reading just wasn't enough. So I started to write. 

I've written picture books (unpublished), contemporary and romantic suspense (under the pen name E.B. Walters), and finally YA fantasy (as Ednah Walters). AWAKENED (2010) is the prequel to the YA series about the Nephilim, The Guardian Legacy series. BETRAYED (book #1) is now available wherever books are sold, HUNTED (book #2) will be released in February 2013 and FORGOTTEN (later in 2013).  

My adult contemporary with or without suspense is about a west coast Irish-American family series. I've published four Fitzgerald books: SLOW BURN (April 5, 2011), MINE UNTIL DAWN (June 29, 2011), KISS ME CRAZY (September 25, 2011), and DANGEROUS LOVE (January 29, 2012).

When I'm not writing, I do things with my family, five children, and my darling husband of 18 years. I live in a picturesque valley in northern Utah, the setting for my YA series.

Praise for Betrayed!

Lil has her work cut out for her in this book and she never failed me once! There is action in this book as well as a lot of emotional turmoil. ~ Cathy Garcia 

Just like Awakened, Betrayed has risen above all the other books in this genre. She has created such an amazing world for her Guardians & demons where good and evil are not as simple as it seems they should be. ~ J. Whitus (Book Junkies) Walking on Bookshelves

I just love a spunky heroine so I was excited to keep reading about Lil, the demon hunter I got to know in Awakened (book one of The Guardian Legacy series). Walters takes the story and world she built so well in Awakened and adds in an intense plot with lots of twists to make for a strong sequel. ~ Kelli (I'd So Rather Be Reading)

Lil is one of my favorite female leads, with all of the traits that you want a strong female lead to have. She's smart, strong, loyal and doesn't know how to back down. ~ Missy (Missy's Reads & Reviews)

About Lindsay Paige

Lindsay Paige is a young adult romance author from North Carolina. Most of what Lindsay writes are her daydreams in lavish details. (Please excuse that fact when you read one of her future works about a girl who sleeps around.;)) When not writing, she is working to complete her final year of high school.

Lindsay loves to read, listen to music, watch and play tennis, along with watching her favorite hockey team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Lindsay is a big fan of Sidney Crosby (87) and buys Penguins merchandise whenever she can.Many of the aspects of the characters in Sweetness were inspired by Lindsay's own struggles, such as a recovering alcoholic father and the anxiety Emily suffers because of her past.

Interview 

1.What do you plan to do after you graduate from high school?

I'm going to attend a community college for my first two years and possibly transfer to UNC Chapel Hill. The details are fuzzy for after those two years.

2. Why did you decide to write Sweetness and the Bold As Love series?

Writing came as a surprise. Last year, I was having a really tough time with my anxiety and that's an understatement. I was having trouble in school, couldn't sleep well, along with multiple severe panic attacks a day. I found a solution to falling asleep at a decent rate. Daydreaming. Emily and Jake were created in that daydream. Soon, the daydream wouldn't leave me alone and I knew I needed another way to release the urge to tell what was happening. Thus, I began writing.

3. What kind of research did you have to do while writing Sweetness?

I didn't do any research. Emily's behavior is slightly based on characteristics of myself. Jake and his feelings to his father derived from myself and my feelings towards my father, who is an alcoholic as well. I could say that my research was from my own life.

4. Which character in Sweetness do you relate to the most? Why?

I could relate to Emily and Jake pretty well. As I said, Emily and I are alike in a lot of ways. However, I can really relate to Jake. Our fathers are alcoholics and there are a lot of feelings that have generated towards them. Honestly, it depends on the day. Sometimes, I feel it is Emily that I relate the most to and others, Jake.

5. What was your favorite scene to write in Sweetness? Why?

My favorite scene to write would have to be the last scene. Without giving too much away, I love how it shows that no matter what obstacles arise, we have the choice to overcome it or let it control us.

6. How long did it take you to write Sweetness? What was your writing process like?

It took me a year to write. While I was writing Sweetness, I was also writing book two, I'm Yours. My writing process is a little hectic, if you ask me. I'd get the urge to release everything at once and I would rush to my computer and begin writing, which is how I ended up writing the sequel at the same time. Many late nights were included for when I was still having trouble sleeping. Music is a big factor as well. I listened to it constantly while writing.

7. In one sentence, tell us why we should read your book.

I want to make readers feel something: anger, joy, sorrow, anything; and I believe Sweetness will make you feel.

8. Who is/are your favorite author(s)?

There are so many! To name a few, I love works by Jessica Park, Nicholas Sparks, Erica O'Rourke, Maria Snyder, Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie, Cassandra Clare, Sarah Dessen, Jenny Han, John Green, Ellen Hopkins, and Rachel Vincent.

9. What are you currently reading right now?

I'm currently reading Oxford Messed Up by Andrea Kayne Kaufman and The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa.

10. I see that you are a Pens fan! Me, too. (I’m from the Pittsburgh area so it is kind of mandatory!) How did you come to love the Pens?

Being in NC, I used to support the Canes. However, I didn't really 'love' them. I did love Justin Williams. When they traded him to a team across the country, I knew my heart left with him. I had to pick a team that I could love and support fully. I love penguins and I love Sidney Crosby. After learning more about the Penguins, it was clear that they were my team.
