Interview with Trent from Shadow Hill

I have an interview with Trent... He is the jerk-ish bad boy in Shadow Hills. I hope that you enjoy this small glance into his mind. I hope you enjoy!
1.What was your favorite part of growing up in Shadow Hills?
I’ve been respected, practically revered, all of my life, and I can’t imagine living any other way. There are several families that have been in Shadow Hills since it was founded, but the Redford clan is undoubtedly the most well-regarded and formidable. Being wealthy and privileged is important no matter where you live, but it’s even more so here, because most of the residents of Shadow Hills are very intelligent.
2.What is the best and worst thing about being labeled "The Bad Boy" in your opinion?
The best thing about it is that I can get any girl I want---and I’m not even expected to treat them well. Some girls actually like not knowing whether or not I will want them at any given moment. I suppose the worst thing, if you can call it that, is the amount of unsuitable girls who follow me around like abandoned mutts. But all in all, I think that label works more for me than it does against me.
3. As a townie, what are your favorite things about Devenish Prep?
Again, it would have to be the status I hold at Devenish. If everyone already knows that you’re the best, it makes it easier to be exceptional. They’ve done half the work themselves by positioning me for greatness. In fact, when I play lacrosse, I have trouble trying to get someone to challenge me. It makes winning almost too simple.
4. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?
I would see to it that Persephone Archer got right back on a plane to California. She’s just some nobody, and yet she thinks she can do whatever she pleases in my town. She upsets the status quo, and she seems completely unaware of the appropriate way to behave.
5. Is there anything that you would like to add?
Only that I'd like to tell my cousin---and others---that they shouldn't count me out just yet. No doubt Zach is feeling quite the hero right now…but it's amazing how quickly things can change.

I have a signed Shadow Hills poster to one lucky winner. Just leave a comment below with your email address by December 26th.

Since her sister’s mysterious death, Persephone “Phe” Archer has been plagued by a series of disturbing dreams. Determined to find out what happened to her sister, Phe enrolls at Devenish Prep in Shadow Hills, Massachusetts—the subject of her sister’s final diary entry and also because it is the last piece of mail that her sisters gets.

After stepping on campus, Phe immediately realizes that there’s something different about this place—an unexplained epidemic that decimated the town in the 1700s, an ancient and creepy cemetery, and gorgeous boy Zach—and somehow she’s connected to it all.

But the more questions she asks and the deeper she digs, the more entangled Phe becomes in the haunting past of Shadow Hills and finding what links her to this town…might cost her her life.

I could relate to Phe a lot through out the book. I lost a sister and the grief, while intense was perfectly mastered in this book. I love that Phe was curious about Shadow Hills and wanted to uncover what was happening there. I liked that she was brave and would go against what was safe. I also love Zach. He was so sweet to Phe and also cared about his family and friends. I love that there was humor in this book, even though it is a mystery. Hopcus crafts the story as she weaves it into a story that will keep you guessing and turning the page. I hope that there will be a sequel for Shadow Hills, because I have so many questions left about this book. I felt that this book has it cliches and could have been more original, but the town and there secrets did make for some interesting and unique book. Hopcus is an awesome writer that created a fantastic book that kept me guessing. I recommend Shadow Hills to fans of Paranormal Romance.
