Today we’re featuring YA Author Rendezvous author, Bethany Wicker!
Favorite YAAR Supporting Characters
Everyone
gets to know and fall in love with the MC, or Main Character. I, however, tend
to fall for supporting characters. In our group YAAR, short for Young
Adult Author Rendezvous,
there are several great characters to choose from, but I’d like to talk about a
few of my favorites.
We’ll
start with Unexpected Alpha, by Bethany
Wicker (yours
truly.) I’m in love with Marie, the best friend of the MC. She provides comedic
relief. I may be biased because she’s based off my best friend in real life,
Mariah, but her bubbliness is hard to hate. She also becomes a badass werewolf when
necessary.
Next
up, The Institute Series by Kayla
Howarth. I’m SO
IN LOVE WITH DREW! Sorry, went a little fan girl. He betrays Allira in the
beginning, but fights so hard to make things right throughout the series that
Kayla made it had to not fall for him. Who doesn’t love a bad guy who tries to
make things right in the end?
Then,
there’s Joshua’s Island by Patrick
Hodges. Who
doesn’t love Kelsey? Sure, she gets her own novel in Ethan’s Secret, but before
that she was a supporting character. She was so hardcore, stood up to the
bullies, and stood for what’s right. She helps Joshua in so many ways to
develop the courage he needs to stand up for himself.
The Awaken Series, by Michelle
Bryan has
several intriguing characters: Finn, Po, Tater, and my favorite, Jax. He’s SO
ATTRACTIVE, hold on, need to shift away from fan girl mode. He comes to Tara’s
aid when you least expect it and continues to help her on her journey. His
snide comments are a bonus and there’s no instant love between them, which
always ruins a good story.
Dawn of the Rebellion, by Michelle
Lynn is up next
with Drew. Yes, another Drew. I swear it isn’t the name! Drew’s originally
Gabby’s boyfriend, but when she’s taken, Dawn and Drew set out to rescue her.
Their relationship blossoms slowly and you see his true character come to life,
and it’s very desirable. I’m not going to spoil anything but I cried at the
end… read and see why.
Lastly,
there’s Rise of the Shadow Seekers,
by Korey Ward. My favorite of the trio is
Nelson. I loved him from the moment he was introduced. He defended Alex from
the bullies, but his looks scream otherwise. He’s broad and intimidating, but
doesn’t use it for his own gain. Instead, he helps Alex in his quest and
quickly becomes one of his first friends. A friend that anyone would want.
There
are plenty characters out there that I didn’t have enough room to give credit
to, but check them out in the YAAR
library and be
on the lookout for those enchanting supporting characters.
