Tour: Guest Post & Giveaway: Descended by Blood by Angeline Kace



I am so pleased to be part of the Descended by Blood blog tour! Angeline is here today to tell us who she would cast if the book was made into a movie (Yum!) and she has offered up an amazing giveaway!

Who would I cast for my characters if Descended by Blood were made into a movie?

Brooke, main character: Lucy Hale


When I was doing my characterizations during the plotting phase, Lucy was the closest that I could find for what I saw in my mind's eye for Brooke. Brooke's eyes are blue, though, but the face shape and hair are very similar. 



Jaren: I see him as a nephew-to-Brad Pitt...look-a-like. -Alex Pettyfer

This one is really hard for me because no actor really looks like Jaren. The image from the bookmarks IS Jaren. But I would probably have to say I would like Alex Pettyfer to play Jaren. He has a young face, that's broad and sweet. Plus, he looks fit, like he could play lacrosse. I saw him in I Am Four, and I think he did a good job. He would need to get a haircut, though.





Wentworth has those straight, serious eyebrows, same as Mirko does. He also keeps his hair cropped short like Mirko does. Wentworth would have to train his face to smile how Mirko does. As soon as Wentworth smiles, he doesn't look like Mirko anymore. When Wentworth smiles, his face scrunches up from around his nose and out around his mouth. Mirko smiles more with his eyes and a wicked side-lip curl.

--Yummo!! (Added by Confessions of a Bookaholic)



Kaitlynn, Brooke's best friend: Amanda Seyfried



I LOVE Amanda. She is such a good actress. Have you seen in her in Dear John? She even has a song she sang on the sound track. I love her and think she would make a great Kaitlynn. She has the slender face and blonde hair. Plus, who wouldn't want her as their best friend?







Jelena, the villain: Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine has that sexy, high class, "I'm going to get what I want" vibe. She's tough and a great actress. I think she would make a great vampire villain. Plus, she's gorgeous and that's a requirement for vamps, right?



Thank you so much for having me! It's truly an honor to be hosted by Confessions of a Bookaholic!

  4. I like how you associated the characters with someone people can picture. Normally authors let you picture them how you want this idea brings that knowledge before hand and lets the readers know how you specifically picture them.
