The Red Sector Chronicles
Author: Krystle Jones
Genres: Dystopia, Paranormal Romance, Young Adult
The strength of Sloane’s heart is about to be put to the ultimate test.
After the Eclipse – the night vampires began openly slaughtering human victims – everything changed. Out of fear, the government salvaged what remained of the human population and enclosed them in massive, security-laden cities called White Sectors, while marking the vampire infested territory as Red Sectors.
When seventeen-year-old Sloane McAllister’s twin brother disappears, she seems to be the only one who thinks he isn’t dead, and she vows to stop at nothing to find him. Gathering her courage, she braves the Red Sector to search for clues to his whereabouts. By chance, she encounters Aden, a handsome, charismatic vampire with a hidden agenda. He turns Sloane against her will and whisks her away to his underground city. Enemies quickly become friends as Sloane struggles against her attraction to Aden, and resists her growing loyalties to the creatures that ruined her life.
But the vampires themselves are the least of her problems. A war is brewing between the humans and vampires, along with a growing web of deceit and betrayal. And before it’s all over, loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and no one’s lives will ever be the same.

Dream Cast for The Red Sector Chronicles
By Krystle Jones
Sometimes when I write, I see certain actors or actresses
for my characters, and sometimes I don’t. The
Red Sector Chronicles has a large cast, and I can honestly say I see a
mixture of both already-known people and unknowns for my characters. I’ll try
to give you an idea of what they look like, in my mind, below. =) (FYI, due to
copyright laws, I just listed the names of the actors and actresses rather than
including pictures in the guest post.)
We’ll start with my MC and work our way through the
supporting cast.
·
Sloane
McAllister/Phoebe Tonkin: Seventeen-year-old headstrong and bold vampire
hunter-turned-vampire. She can be pretty pigheaded sometimes, and she doesn’t
take crap from anybody, but she still has a lot of heart. Why I picked Phoebe: I didn’t have a particular actress in mind
when I pictured Sloane, but the more I see Phoebe (The Originals), the more I think she’d suit Sloane. Her skin would
have to be a little bit darker, but she has the exotic look I pictured.
Aden
Knight/Ashley Charles the II: Sloane’s main love interest. A mysterious,
handsome vampire soldier Sloane meets in the Red Sector while looking for her
brother. Why I picked Ashley: I had
no clue who to pick for Aden. Then I came across a picture of Ashely on
imdb.com and I said, “That looks like Aden.” When I saw him in The White Queen, I thought to myself,
“That could be Aden. The voice, those eyes, his look… give him some blonder
hair, and that could be him.” Only not British, because Aden is an American. =P
(Though I think he WOULD sound hot with a British accent.)

Deyzre
Drake/
·
Paris De
Lange/Kate Walsh: Paris is a brilliant French doctor whose sassy attitude
often makes her butt heads with Sloane. Why
I picked Kate: Paris was one of the few characters where I had a particular
actress in mind while I was writing. I saw Kate Walsh, maybe because her hair
color is so similar to Paris’. I also think she could pull off the classy,
sophisticated air Paris has.
·
Rook/Jesse
Williams II: Rook’s a talented soldier and a skilled fighter, but he’s a
big teddy bear at heart. One of Sloane’s friends. Why I picked Jesse: I remember Jesse from Cabin in the Woods (WEIRD movie). I think he’d be able to pull off
Rook’s softer nature, while at the same time making him seem tough.
·
Orion
McAllister/Shiloh Fernandez: Orion is the twin brother Sloane goes looking
for in the Red Sector. Why I picked
Shiloh: I haven’t seen him in much, but I distinctly remember him in Red Riding Hood. He has a cunning look
to him I think would suit Orion well, and I think he and Phoebe could pull off
being related. As with Phoebe, though, I’d picture him with slightly darker
skin.
·
General
Minerva Frost/Meryl Streep: The cold ruler of the vampire Syndicate. Why I picked Meryl: She could rock this
world. The frigidity she showed in The Devil Wears Prada would do Minerva a lot
of justice. Plus, she’s one of my favorite actresses.
·
Mrs.
Knight/Susanna Thompson: Aden’s gentle mother. She’s soft spoken, but not
afraid to stand up for what is right. Why
I picked Susanna: She just has that motherly air, and she looks almost
exactly like how I pictured Mrs. Knight. How she plays Moira Queen in Arrow is pretty similar to how Mrs.
Knight acts, though I would probably make her even a bit softer.
·
Arika
Takihara/Arika Takarano: Another vampire hunter is a little too close to
Leo for Sloane’s liking. Why I picked
Arika: Okay, so Arika Takarano isn’t who I pictured playing Arika, but she
is the inspiration for the character. She’s a talented singer, known for her
complicated songs and elaborate wardrobes.
Okay so who doesn't imagine characters when they read I think it is great to know what writer imagines in order to live the book better. Also maybe this could open up to the way of a movie huh? After all I was so sad that they decided to give up pon making Anita Blake because they couldn't decide their characters. I also think the leads look good together. :) Nice choices.
(The pictures of the actors/actresses of the characters does not belong to me.)
