Sidekick Showcase (previously known as Sidekick Saturday) is a weekly bookish meme, hosted 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! 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 this week's type
• Share a picture (if possible) 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
• Put your link in the Linky thing and comment

In honor of Halloween, for the entire month of October, Jaclyn has chosen Creatures of the Night as the theme. This includes witches, werewolves, vampires, ghouls, ghosts, zombies, and any other monster. :)
My pick for this week is:
Odin
from Jennifer Turner's Darkness Within Series

I dug deep this week, y'all! I've only read the first book in the series (although I own the second ;) and it's been awhile BUT this series is really unique in the vampire genre. Ms. Turner created quite a world with an interesting twist on vampires. Odin is a vampire. He also happens to be one of three sons to Lord Nelek, ruler of the vampire race. He is fiercely loyal to his brother Kerestyan. And (I'm thinking y'all are going to sense a theme here) he contributes a lot of comic relief to the story!
"I take it you're named after the Greek God of War, Odin?"
His face scrunched up in a most unattractive way. "What is this, mix and match mythology hour? Do I look Greek to you?" She didn't have time to answer. "I'm a f#cking Norseman, not some Greek p#ssy." He fisted a hand and slammed his chest plate. "I wasn't named after Odin, I am Odin."

"Christ, woman, I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry. The whole point was to get you pissed off so you could meet your beast." He raised an arm and rubbed the back of his neck. "I just didn't expect you'd fire back and get to meet mine."
--Odin to Logan, Eternal Seduction
