![]() ![]() Everyone on Dorcha wants him dead, and most of them try.Īnna, the heroine, is a rich heiress who lives in the big mansion on the island. He's so sheltered and naive that when he gets jealous over a girl, he thinks his anger is a result of a demon possessing him. He's drop-dead gorgeous, has a paralyzed arm, and has absolutely zero knowledge about the world. Liam, the hero, is regarded by everyone on Dorcha with suspicion because they think he killed his mom at birth (like, legit killed her, with scratch marks and gushing blood and everything). She moves from a big city to a dreary, isolated small town - except instead of the Olympic Peninsula, it's an island sandwiched between Scotland and Ireland and entrenched in Celtic folklore. The heroine, by contrast, is a pretty girl without a lot of substance. He also tries and fails to convince the heroine to stay away from him because he's dangerous, although in this case it's because he might be a demon instead of a vampire. The male love interest speaks in an archaic way and seems a bit too naive. I feel like ASHES ON THE WAVES is definitely influenced by TWILIGHT. I think we all remember the "girls in prom dresses" period of YA fiction. ![]() Remember when TWILIGHT was at the height of its popularity, and people began opening up Wikipedia to search for paranormal creatures to have fall in love with some ditzy teenage girl so they could write the Next Big YA Paranormal Romance, too? Yeah. ![]()
