Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday, is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on my page. Just do the following:
• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in the week's topic
• Share a picture (if you can) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• The day of your post, put your link in below and grab the code for your post so you can see the others that post their's throughout the week as well

My choice is Bones
The Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost
I didn't have time to make up a picture so I grabbed some of the foreign covers that show Bones all leather-clad and hot for you to feast your eyes on. Man, I love Bones. It's hard to even describe what I love about him, he's just flat out awesome. He doesn't take any crap at all from anyone, doesn't matter who they are. He is who he is and he has no qualms about it. He's very upfront about all the good and the bad in his person. He's someone you definitely don't want to cross and very yummy.
Quotes:
This Side of the Grave -
“Ask me if I sparkle and I’ll kill you where you stand.”
Halfway to the Grave-
“There is only one way to fight, and that's dirty. Clean gentlemanly fighting will get you nowhere but dead, and fast. Take every cheap shot, every low blow, absolutely kick people when they're down, and maybe you'll be the one who walks away."
Halfway to the Grave-
“Is that a stake, Bones, or are you just happy with my new dress?”
“In this case, it’s a stake. You could always feel around for something more, though. See what comes up.”
One Foot in the Grave-
“Wrong way, Bones. The men's showers are in the opposite direction."
"I'll file that away with all the other information that doesn't pertain to me," was Bones' mocking reply.
This Side of the Grave-
“You’re not going to let her do this, are you?”
Bones snorted. “'Let her'? Mate, if you think you can control a woman, you must be single—"
Bones. Oh Bones. Great choice. Cat and Bones are like my classic paranormal couple. I will always love them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this series, but I like the sound of Bones
ReplyDeleteRight? He's not sparkling vampire. He's a scary master classic from the old-school vampire days. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHe's so great. I'm glad you've enjoyed learning more about him :D Thank you so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteMe too. They have such a great relationship. No one can fit with Cat as well as Bones. The first two books are still my favorites, but I'll keep reading about them until there aren't any more books. Thank you so much for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteI read this post in the wee hours of the morning and clicked right over to my library and reserved the first book. I can't wait to meet Bones! Great quotes. I love the "you must be single-" one.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad! I think you will really enjoy it :D Bones and you should get along just fine!
