Without Me Blog Tour: Liz Beckett

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Catheryn from The Book Lioness was unable to post yesterday for the blog tour. So I am stepping in her place to tell you about Liz!

Elizabeth Erin Taylor Beckett

Nickname: Liz

Age: 21

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Hazel

Born: Manchester, England

Here are a few facts about Liz:

• one of the Original Seven
• has to have contact in order to keep control
• her twin brother is Amos
• her father volunteered the twins at birth. 
• their mother was against it.
• she is confident and a bit of a snob. 
• Cox took her in as his “favorite”, rewarding her with whatever she wanted.
• being in control is the only thing she’s ever known

I have picked Clemence Poesy as my author/fan cast. She is the ideal image of Liz in my mind, and hopefully you see it too when you read the book!

Liz is probably my favorite character to write. She's got such untamable sass and whit, but she's a complete and utter bitch. No matter what. Unlike Alivien, Liz's bluntness comes off as posh instead of rude. So she's got that way about her. She's that person that insults you but says it in the nicest way, so it doesn't sound mean but you know she's totally calling you out. There are times, however, when you tells you like it is. To me, her attitude stems from the way she was brought up. She was taught by Cox that she was special. She believes her parents were selfish by volunteering her for the drug trial, and the only way to pay them back is to use her powers in the worst way. She feels the need to prove how dangerous she is... and show them it was a mistake. 

As for Liz's love life, we don't get to experience that until book two. But mark my words, you'll get plenty of feels. There's a clear triangle... and it's not pretty. 

Be sure to follow the last two days of the tour on Jaclyn and Ana's blogs!
