Blog Tour: Black City by Elizabeth Richards

Hey guys! As part of the Black City tour (LOVED the book by the way! You can find my review here and my interview with Elizabeth Richards here) I'm interviewing Beetle and Day from Black City, Ash and Natalie's best friend, respectively. 

FF: Describe each other in 10 words MAX. And seriously.

Day: Beetle is ‘messy, lazy, gorgeous, brave, and a great kisser’.

Beetle:Cheers babe! Day is ‘a geeky, caramel goddess, and the love of my life’.

FF: Now, describe Ash and Natalie. In as many words as you need.

Day: Natalie is generous, kind, fierce, a little spoilt, and my best friend. Ash is tall.

Beetle: Ash is a really decent mate. He’s cool, loyal, and has always got my back. Plus he doesn’t mind sharing his smokes with me, which is handy since I can never afford any. Natalie’s blond.

FF: What do you think would’ve happened if you two had never met?

Day: I would’ve moved to Centrum, to pursue my dream of becoming an Emissary. Then probably married a smart, handsome guy like Chris Thompson.

Beetle:  Hey! I’m right here.

Day: Sorry. But he is cute.

Beetle:*glowers*

Day: You know I only have eyes for you, Matthias.

Beetle: Well, okay then.

Day: You haven’t answered the question.

Beetle: If I hadn’t met Day, I’d probably be wasting my life away in a Haze den somewhere. Being with her has made me want to be a better guy.

FF: If you could change one thing in your world, anything at all, what would it be?

Day: More opportunities for Workboots.

Beetle:Equality between humans and Darklings.

FF: Are there any tips you’d give a Black City newbie?

Day: Don’t go out after curfew.

Beetle: And always carry a can of Go Away Wrath Spray! You do NOT want to meet one of those down a dark alley.

Black City Blurb

A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war. In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable--they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection that causes Ash's long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they're caught, they'll be executed--but their feelings are too strong. When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.
