It was a dark and stormy night?

I believe she will stop at nothing to become Queen of the Bitches...Witches

Hopefully not Unda the Table....

Mother is only interested in her acquisition of power...letting her go back to the coven is/will be a mistake....

Corin is an enigma, and could very well be a wild card in all of this, we know he isn't one of the Romani...where is he from and is he a danger toEitenne? What is his obvious connection to the wealthy merchant? Much to unpack here....

Danae had best be careful, hubris is a trait she would do well to emulate...

While society may have grown into this type of society, it certainly fits the definition of dystopian. That given an approximation of equal ratio of men to women, that fully a large portion of the population has nothing but their backs and labors to the "progress" of this society. It is beyond sad that someone could be born and die never having the chance to improve oneself, that the only escape from those brought into the mill might be a longing for a dip into the pool of molten steel as those born into it, know no better. Then there is Matthew, an educated man, one among a select few, who lack the ability to see past what is, and what could be. I'm often reminded as I peruse our society as it is, reminding myself of history's lessons, we so blithely ignore. Internal pressures never go away; the Russian Revolution of 1917 proves this. Or when large parts of our society, vote without thinking, believing the falsehoods of demagogues, that your neighbors are eating your dogs and cats...or when our leaders lie without shame...That colleges and universities are now being told that the key to unlocking federal funds is to teach the current administration's agenda.... Ooops...time to give my soapbox a rest...

You think you're slow, I've seen continents drift apart faster....

Could Grammarly be considered an evil creature feature?

Is this the calm before another storm?

More importantly, how will they hook up with Dorjin or find other rebels???

Bobby is getting one heck of an education…

Something about Jack Taylor isn't ringing true. Could he possibly have had an insurance policy on Joey? The whole thing about misremembering Will's phone number is interesting, seeing as how it was written down for him... Catlin is becoming suspect #1...is she being set up with her bad acting, mysterious ways, is she an all too obvious red herring??? Aiden's suggestion that he see a lawyer before giving her any money is interesting and on point. How will she react to such, seeing as how she won't allow company on any of her doctor's visits??? Then there is Aidien's desire to get married all too soon. Where was he at the time of Joey's death? Wasn't he the one who "found" the misplaced note? Searching that bedroom by himself would have given him time to conveniently 'place the discarded copy...Is he trying to cast any suspicion aside by rushing into marriage???

I'm looking forward to Gavin getting his just desserts....someone should use their phone to record what Gavin and A-Hole Jr are saying/doing....

It would seem that everyone's path is leading towards a climatic battle....

That noose around Jaspe and his brother is getting tighter and the situation a bit more serious...I wonder if there were others on this side of the channel who were associates and not yet apprehended...finding one could lead to having them turn and cough up Jasper's location... Denise's suggestion about the flat with a granny apartment was very insightful!!!!

Etienne needs to be careful…The priest and his aunt are bad omens…

The was a kid named Kenny in my 7th grade class, the first time we had to take showers after Gym was an eye opener, as he was a man among boys...there wasn't anything small about his appendage...

I love, love...that is when I am not being Uncle Cranky... .

A deepening romance and new powers await to be fully discovered...what of the potential treasure on the recently acquired property??

I found the part about the gold coins intriguing; a $20.00 gold piece is 1.075 troy ounces, as gold is measured in troy ounces. The price of gold today is $3320.00 per troy ounce. New, gold 1-ounce coins are selling for $3400 to $3500 depending on the vendor. price of gold today - Search Factor in that these coins are antique can raise the value: Used, a $20.00 coin may fetch a bit more than the price of gold today, about $3500 Mint, condition a $20.00 coin could run nearly $10,000.00 An uncirculated $20.00 coin could fetch upwards of $54,000.00 cost of a 1864 Confederate $20 gold coin - Search So the ESW made an appearance and was caught on camera, most likely anyone looking at it will see an emaciated, beat-up wolf... Can't for the life of me understand the neighbor Duncella...she needs to be told to mind her own business, if not charges for harassment will be filed, and appreciate the fact they are the best neighbors she will ever have...

As noted above, I wonder if Kellen is suffering from a deep-seated mental block... Kellen needs to find his humanity before I could begin to respect him, or think of him as a potential life partner for Dust...

Having read a large part of these, my reading list goes phew to the number still left!!!!!

I can't help myself, with the pillow or in the pillow....

Twice in this chapter, it is noted that Henry was clutching a paper in his hand, and then his mother revealed that she had left information about Liberty Academy for Henry as she mulled over donating to the academy. Where is that paper now? Damir/Matthew/The Wolf is broken, giving up the ghost and lost. At the same time the noose is beginning to tighten, what they have is scant, but from small clues, the story of his involvement will grow...Can he be saved, rehabilitated? He's making a decision that will anger The Turd. The Turd is in a world of deep crap, trying to delay medical help for his son, looking for another hit man, his conversation with Henry, and now another 'interview' with the detectives.... And what becomes of Henry, his recovery will be as arduous as his brothers, will they find each other in the hospital, and their mother? As Henry becomes coherent and is interviewed, will a description of his clothing be taken, noted? Will that information make it to the police on the streets, leading to suspects? This and so many other threads in this disparate tapestry are slowly coalescing, and the beginnings of a larger picture are forming. Juan is very lucky to have someone like Sam, who, through his dedication to the job, is an asset!
