The Lake House

**The Lake House** is the vacation home that was purchased by the families of the core six in the Smokey Mountains.

## History

The Lake House is the vacation home that was purchased by the families of the core six in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.

It is a four-story lake house, fifty miles off the beaten path, winding gravel and dirt roads leading us to this sanctuary. With two wrap-around porches, the house sits in a thicket of gorgeously overgrown maple trees, shingles painted cherry red. The relator said that when the seasons change, the leaves will match the hue of the house. It’s nestled close to a grassy bank, the house reflecting off the rippling lake, landscaped by the Smoky Mountains. From the naked eye, I can’t spot a single cabin in the distance. All of the core six chipped in and didn’t just buy this property. They invested in acres and acres of land surrounding it, ensuring that no one would build near them.

## Trivia

* It first appeared in Fuel the Fire.
* It is a 12 hour drive from Philly.
* The nearest hospital is more than two hours away.
Addicted After All

**Addicted After All** is the fifth and final book in the Addicted Series by Krista and Becca Ritchie. It is the fourth book to follow Loren Hale and Lily Calloway's romance.

## Summary

*Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.*

That's what Lily Calloway and Loren Hale try to do when his father schedules an "important" meeting. The problem: after being swept into the public eye and battling their addictions, they're not sure what the worst is anymore.

In a sea of many changes—including Ryke and Daisy living with them—Lily realizes that the best part of her fluctuating hormones might just be the worst. Her sex drive is out of control.

Loren knows that she's insatiable, but he's not giving up on her. She's too much a part of him. And as he carries more and more responsibility, some of the people that he loves doubt his resolve.

Lily and Lo stand side-by-side to fight, one last time, for their happily ever after.

## Trivia

* The book is set in February 2015 to October 2015.
* Loren and Lily's ship name is Lilo.
Amelia Roberts

**Amelia Roberts** is a character in Love & Other Cursed Things.

## Personality

Amelia has a perpetual snotty attitude. She is an introvert at heart.

## Early History

For Amelia’s eighteenth birthday, her mom threw an indoor tea party, complete with an archway of rose gold balloons. Ten minutes after Amelia’s arm brushed the latex balloon, her throat started swelling. Luckily, another girl at the party carried EpiPens for her peanut allergy. Amelia’s dad administered the epinephrine.

Anna thought her daughter was a boring, saintly virgin, but Amelia hooked up with Patrick King in the backseat of his car in eleventh grade. His latex condom gave her such a bad allergic reaction; she had mascara running down her face—crying about how she was going to die from a dick. October had to drive her out of Mistpoint Harbor to a nearby hospital. Just so her parents would never find out. And then her birthday party happened, the latex allergy mushroomed into the biggest lie. Amelia and October knew she had the allergy before she turned eighteen. It couldn’t be her curse. But they let Anna write this one in the books. They let Amelia's parents and the entire town believe that Amelia is a virginal, do-gooder daughter who’d never lie.

Amelia is *Miss Mistpoint*. She won the contest six years ago. It's an expert-level treasure hunt that the elders in the town put together. Amelia won in record time.

## Trivia

* Her family own The Mistpoint Harbor Historial Museum of Curses & Curiosities.
* People treat Amelia and her family like royalty in the town.
"Iron Dad" Toshoto

A Town Guard in Shantou. He is tall and imposing, but looks like any other guard in the city. On his hip he carries a mace, its head made of wrought iron and seems poorly put together, its surface is discolored by poor heating and cooling during forging. The handle however is gorgeous, made of a deep red wood and a leather grip double cross-wrapped and comfortable in the hand. On the handle is a phrase in Bukka scorched into the wood “Iron Dad”.

The mace was made by his 12 year old son Leom who is an Apprentice Blacksmith, he build it to 'keep his daddy safe'. Toshoto wears it on his hip every day with pride.

The mace gives only Toshoto a +1 Moral Bonus to Attack.

## Sample

"Maximoff, Maximoff," the crowd of fans and paparazzi scream my name as we try to manoeuvre through the masses of people encroaching closer; they're kept back by Banks Moretti and a few temporary bodyguards who form a human barrier between us and them. The reason why, because I was once bitten by a fan, the girl got close and I thought nothing of it when her hands started snaking my body, *it's nothing new to me to have handsy fans*, but when she bit me it gave a whole new meaning and reason for the human barrier present, literally keeping the sharks at bay.

This scene was mentioned in Kiss the Sky
But you've never read it before :)
It takes place during the Princesses of Philly reality show
February 20th!
Get ready. For Loren, Lily, Connor, Rose, Ryke, Daisy Enjoy!

## Sample

"Who thought of this game?" Lo asks, holding a plastic baggy of cut up lemons. I shiver next to him while we huddle in a circle with Connor, Rose, Daisy, and Ryke.

"I did," Daisy says with a bright smile, jumping up and down to battle the cold. Her blonde hair is sticky with soda, but she's tied it in a high bun.

"Coat off," Rose tells me, snapping her fingers.

*Whaaa*... I hug it protectively around my small, bony frame. "But it's one in the morning. I can see my breath when I go like this." I blow out and everyone can *clearly* see it smoke the air. We're on top of a roof. Beside a murky pool (sans a light). And below us in the club, teenagers are shouting and guzzling liquor and probably pissing in dark corners.

I'm happy we've deserted Daisy's prep school friends after one of them poured a can of Cherry Fizz over her head. (He was trying to score camera time since plump Brett has been shooting Daisy's birthday party with his Canon Rebel.)
The Drake

The Drake, Philadelphia, PA

**The Drake** is the apartment where Lily and Lo live in have in Philadelphia, PA. In *Addicted to You*, Lily Calloway and Loren Hale live there while they go to school at University of Pennsylvania. The Drake is based on a real apartment building in Philadelphia, PA.

## Location

The Drake Hotel, a historic 375-foot-tall, 33-story luxury hotel located at 1512–1514 Spruce Street at the corner of S. Hicks Street between S. 15th and S. 16th Streets in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was built in 1928–29 by the Murphy, Quigley Company and was designed by the architectural firm of Ritter and Shay in the Art Deco style with Spanish Baroque terra cotta ornamentation on themes surrounding Sir Francis Drake, including "dolphins, shells, sailing vessels and globes." The building is topped by a terra cotta dome.

## Detail

The apartment building has a historical feel, but the inside is very modern. The lobby has "creamy marble floors".

Despite how historic the Drake is, the inside of Lily and Lo's apartment is quite sterile-looking; white appliances, white countertops, white ceilings, white walls. They have it decorated with red and grey furniture with Warhol-inspired art décor to counter the white.

In the kitchen, the countertop is littered with Loren's empty and half-filled liquor bottles, and the fridge is crammed with champagne and expensive brands of rum.

In the living room, there's a grey-stitched sofa, a glass coffee table and flat-screen television.

In Loren's bedroom, his walls are filled with Penn paraphernalia "like a red and blue clock and a Quakers bobblehead" as part of the facade that he and Lily are dating. His bed has a champagne-colored duvet and there's photographs of him and Lily "everywhere".

In Lily's bedroom, the guest bedroom, the decorations are minimal. There are no photographs; "just brightly colored Leonid Afremov paintings of Paris."

## Known Residents

* Lily Calloway
* Loren Hale

## Trivia

* The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1978. It was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places on October 6, 1977. In 1998, the building was extensively renovated and converted to condominiums as "The Drake".

## Summary

*Two years will change them forever.*

When fake rumors spread like wildfire--like having three-ways with her boyfriend's rock climbing brother--Lily Calloway retreats to a dark place: her bedroom. Loren Hale is more determined to keep their sex life private, even from their friends, and he helps Lily in the only way he knows how. But how much love is too much?

Their lives are filmed, watched, and criticized. And through it all, Lily and Loren have to face enemies they never thought they'd see, demons they don't know if they should bury, and setbacks they didn't think they'd meet. Not this soon.

And one rumor could be too much for them to handle. It will test their greatest limitations, and if they don't hold onto each other, someone is going to drown.

## Trivia

* The book is set in August 2012 to January 2015.
* Loren and Lily's ship name is Lilo.

Captain James Moore

Origin
 Blood Type
 Age
 Weight
 Hair Color
 Eye Color

## Personality

The best word to describe Captain Red is "chaotic". He is charismatic and fun loving, but his mood can swing from happy to paranoid faster than anyone can predict. He has been known to interrupt a simple dinner to kill someone he felt disrespected him. He is not above killing someone on the suspicion they have done something. Red is a firm believer that if his crew has any room to bend his will, they will try and see if he can break.
James enjoys social interaction, but rarely trusts. He was raised well, and knows how to act in a respectable manner, but he refuses to be civil in mockery of the people he turned away from. Many know his real name, but he rarely allows people to call him by it, finding it a sign of disrespect from those who don't know him well. He is volatile, and while some may find his chaotic behavior intriguing or attractive, anyone who intends to be around him long must learn to respect it.

## Appearance

A tall stocky man, James towers over most of his crew. His rugged features and many scars show a worn-out man, aging faster than he can stop. However, the common sight of his smile, and the laughter he enjoys with his crew show a man still young, despite what his body thinks. There is a certain joy in his eyes when he is with his crew laughing his way through both combat and recreation. Made angry though, James has a face that could turn away even the bravest knights. A malicious look of pure hatred few have seen and lived long enough to remember.

## Background

The infamous Captain Red was once an esteemed naval officer. Commodore James Moore, commander of the RSV Marquis, a Hierman Ja war galley. After being passed for promotion for the fourth time in a row he believed that the admiralty board's worries of his "unhinged behavior" were completely uncalled for, and unfairly halting the progress of his otherwise illustrious career. Growing tired of the admiralty's politics, he took matters into his own hands turning one third of his crew onto the other two thirds, seizing his own ship. In jest, he called himself Captain Red in contrast to the Republic Navy's blue uniform, and rechristened his ship "The Argos" a name synonymous with loyalty.

## Equipment

* A heavy cutlass with the design of a skull on its hilt.
* A custom flintlock pistol.
* Rum and tobacco.
* A worn out Republic Navy uniform.

Paper Town

The blurred space between the high walls of Misrata and the endless stretches of desert sands: Paper Town is a cramped, wretched slum that wraps around Misrata like a filthy belt. A maze of uneven cobblestone streets and ramshackle buildings. A place where the people too poor or too unfortunate to be allowed through the gates of Misrata collect and make a life for themselves. Poverty and crime gallop through the tangled streets of this limbo, and the tortured cries of the innocent are largely ignored by the nobles and politicians of Misrata.

Amid the vast numbers of migrants, exiles, and vagabonds that make up the population of Paper Town, law and order claw and grasp at what little influence they may hold. Guards walk in tight teams or in well trained pairs, breaking up fights and shoving the drunks out of thoroughfares. Corrupted-officials and benevolent-protectors work in a delicate balance to maintain order in a city of chaos; and all around them swell the ever growing gangs and hoodlums, mercenaries and adventurers, criminals and monsters that spill through the streets at night.

In this land of crumbling buildings and tangled webs of leaking water pipes, life clings in desperation to escape the arcane anomalies of the desert. The edges of Paper Town are a ragged dusting of broken buildings and abandoned rubble, constantly reclaimed by the magic of the land each time the denizens of Paper Town dare to expand their living spaces too far into the sands.

Trapped between the gnashing teeth of the invisible wild magic around them, and smashed against the unyielding wall of Misrata's first formal defensive wall; the people of Paper Town grow closer together, in both spirit and in literal space. It is a pressure cooker of the human condition, forever stressed to the edge of breaking; while the vast masses of more fortunate Misrata citizens ignore the plight outside their protective walls.
