This is my first time participating in Tell Me Something Tuesday hosted by Cambria Hebert. It’s pretty much what it sounds like. There is a weekly question, and we answer it. If you would like to participate, link your post over on Cambria’s blog.
This week’s question is:
Who is your favorite sidekick in a book? (You know the BFF of the main character)
There are a couple of sidekick I love…
1. Jenks from Kim Harrison’s series – The Hollows
Jenks is a four inch pixy, but don’t let his small size fool you, because he is a force to be reckoned with. He can get into places others can’t, he’s fast as a vampire, and extremely protective over those he cares about. Jenks is also one of the funniest characters around. He’s crude, inappropriate at times, and is a complete smart-ass… but he’ll always give it to you straight. I would definitely want Jenks by my side!
2. Riley from Amanda Hocking’s series – The Hollows
(Yes, both are called The Hollows)
Riley is a lioness. That’s right, a member of the big cat family. She doesn’t have magical powers, she doesn’t talk, she doesn’t do anything supernatural. What does she do? She can take down a herd of zombies faster than you can say “holy Siegfried and Roy!” Ever since Remy rescued her, Riley has been a loyal, but distant sidekick. When the zombie apocalypse comes, I want a lioness by my side.
Those are my top two favorites. A pixy and a lioness 🙂
Jinks! How could I forget him? He is a great character!
Great choice and I am so glad that you are participating this week!!
Wouldn't it be cool to have your own lion sidekick? Remy is a lucky girl! 😀
Oh my I can't beleive I forgot about Riley!!!!! I have read the first in that series (Best book by Amanda Hocking I have read so far) but I haven't got to read The Hollows yet but I can't wait to read it! Riley was the BEST!
I haven't read this other series you are talking about but a four inch pixy??? awesomeness.
Thank you so much for participating in TMST this week we are so glad to have you and your answers are fabulous!
Oh man, how could Imforget Jenks! I love tha snarky perverted pixie. Grwat pick, Imhave not read The Hocking book and I even own it, so many books, not enough time! I am so glad you jpined the meme 😉
Yay! So happy you participated in TMST! I love Riley!! I'd love having a Riley even without a zombie apocalypse! I'm not familiar with the other Hollows you mentioned, but now, I definitely want to check it out. Great post!
Great picks for sidekicks – a little pixy and a lioness.
I have not read either of these, but look great!!

Awww I so wanna get to know Jenks! I read some in the first book and loved him already, haha. I'm glad I FINALLY have it! Can't wait to dig in. 😀
Jenks totally sounds like my kind of guy LOL I think we'd get along well.. because yeah that's sort of my personality (a little bit..LOL) I need to read that series!! I haven't read Amanda Hocking's The Hollows yet either but I think I have the first book on my nook? haha I can't even remember what books i have.. this is bad.. The both sound like great characters though!
