The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?

Lindsay deals with chronic fatigue, can’t get enough of her two pesky German Shepherds, wolf cub, and two horses. She's still waiting on her letter from Hogwarts--it was probably just lost in the mail. You can follow Lindsay on twitter @lindsaycwrites.
Meadow would be Saoirse Ronan, Emily Kinney (Beth from The Walking Dead), or Teresa Palmer. Zephyr would be Max Irons!
This is the hardest question ever! I have so many favorites. Obviously, I love THG and Harry Potter, Divergent, Legend by Marie Lu…but I am also a sucker for The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, anything by Ray Bradbury, Gary Paulsen…too many!!
It’s a tossup between The Walking Dead (Daryl is my man) and Firefly
Probably all 8 Harry Potter movies! And Remember the Titans makes me cry every time, even though I hate football.
Freebird! Or Babe I’m Gonna Leave You by LedZep.
I really love Cici’s Alfredo Pizza. YUM
Peeta. So much love for Peeta.
“I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.” – Delirium by Lauren Oliver.
ALL THE BOOKS.
I actually already got to meet him!!! It was Gary Paulsen, whose book HATCHET really got me started on my love for survival stories. I fangirled so hard when I met him, and I said “Gary I wrote a book and it’s getting published” and his response was a cuss word and a smile. Amazing.
Never be afraid to be who you are! Also, always fangirl in public. Always.
Hi Lindsay! We are really happy to host you in our FFBC. We are super excited to have the Murder Complex and the Prequel Fear Trials as part of our FFBC.
Thanks for having me!
The Murder Complex is set in the futuristic Florida Everglades, and is told in spit points of view between Meadow and Zephyr, two teens who are struggling to survive in a world where every night at dark, hundreds of murders happen.
Thanks for having me!
I carried a knife with me while writing it. And now I always do!
Fierce, loyal, terrifying, deadly…teenager.
All the fight scenes! I fly through those because in my head, I see them as shots on a big screen. I just love picturing it, and it always gets me so excited!
FULLY ALIVE by Flyleaf! It’s perfect!

My favorite weapon huh? Are we talking against humans or the supernatural? lol I think a gun of some kind - you don't have to get in too close and it can blow your head off. ^_^ I don't think I can pick a song until after I read the book.
ReplyDeleteI would want something like a bow and arrow, that I could shoot from afar so I did not have to be close up to the violence! Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteIf I was trained to kill or defense myself I would choose something deathly but also easy to hide. A small dagger perhaps. Maybe I have to know first if I am good with knives.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for the giveaway, the story sounds really good!
The Bow and arrow would be my weapon of choice.... Re use and make your own ammo..... and I love using it! Thanks for the giveaway and I cannot wait to read the Murder Complex!
ReplyDeleteI would want my hands as my weapon of choice!
ReplyDeleteI would say a sword but I don't think I have that kind of coordination
ReplyDeleteSumirai sword. Think Michone from the walking dead and a dagger in my boots for short range. No I haven't thought this one out all *avert eyes*
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a killer. I'd use a sniper rifle and do it from a safe distance.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd want an assault rifle...hmm, never really thought about it!
ReplyDeleteSomething small... a dagger I guess? A gun would work too haha.
ReplyDeleteProbably a bow and arrow- hunger games style
ReplyDeleteOr maybe poison, more subtle :)
I want a sword!
ReplyDeleteA bow and arrow or maybe a sword.

I just want to let you know that the link for @GinaScarcella on Twitter says sorry this page does not exist! I just wanted to let you know so you can fix it! ;)
ReplyDeleteI would definitely us a sword, there is something elegant and strong about it! It seem like if I was not a coward and I was trained I would us something that I could us in combat like a sword!
ReplyDeleteI would use a sword or bow.
ReplyDeleteDYING to read this :)
ReplyDeleteIf I was trained to kill, my weapon of choice would be a sword.
ReplyDeleteI would use Seraph Blades! :)
ReplyDeleteBow & Arrow
ReplyDeleteA knife
ReplyDeleteA machete would be my weapon of choice if I were a trained killer.
ReplyDeleteI would have to choose a flamethrower
