leaving us high and dry once again.......

The following seems to bear out @VBlew's comment.... “Drop it, Walker!” Walker chambered a round and brought the gun up to point it at Simon. Gennaro and Simon both fired, hitting Walker in the chest. Just before they fired, it looked like a puff of smoke rose up from Walker’s head. “What the fuck was that?”

Well now, there's a how do you do!!!!

Absolutely a delight to read this chapter, just superbly written......

And what would you like for supper??? He moved toward the door, boots heavy against the planks, pausing just as his hand reached the handle. He didn’t turn around, but his voice cut through the heavy air—sharp, commanding. “Clean my damn cabin.”

I'm not happy with the way Orion behaved when they went into the restaurant, the dichotomy was stunning to say the least and it displayed/showed him as a-hole, a self-centered dickhead, and it was a bonehead move by Orion towards someone who was simply their server. It was the height of bad manners and quite frankly, if he had behaved like that in front of me, we would have had words...what he did was inexcusable to another human being... Orion parades his 'husbands' like so many trophies into the restaurant, leaving no doubt who was the 'cock-of-the-walk', and as the server simply respects the power position Orion displayed, gets the following reaction....I don't get it at all.... “Your appetizers will be ready shortly.” Ryan said directly to me. Which I found a little rude towards my two husbands. My eyes lifted to his face. “Our appetizers. Not just mine. These are my husbands, hence the rings you saw. I find it rude and disrespectful towards them. You presume to think I would be interested in you when I have them.” I said in a tone that conveyed my displeasure. His tanned face visibly paled. “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean any disrespect.” He started, but Tanner’s hand came across the table to mine. Squeezing it tightly. Truly bad form and very disappointing...regardless of the stuff that happens afterwards...

I suspect the test results were more than a shock, more like an earthquake to "Them"....as to what was seen by the roommate remains a mystery...

Oy!!!! What a mess!!! Then again, back in the days when I was drinking, I had plenty of chances in skanky barrooms to witness such an event... After what he’d been through, who was to say some giant sewer alligator wasn’t about to chomp him while he pissed?

So far so good....not sure about the decision to hitchhike...not the smartest move with all the wako's out there...

What am I missing?

I believe the Private Reserves are significant, resource/technologically rich sector(s) that Marc wrested from the pirates!!

Has anyone thought to check Grandpa Alexander's heath lately, could he be having a series of small strokes??? Other health issues??? If I remember correctly, in the first book, childbirth and rearing were somewhat explained, anyone else remember?

Well...putting my @weinerdog prognostication hat on, this comment tells me they make it out of the castle only to have to fight their way into another castle...why am I reminded of

The other possibility with Desmond is that the Fae are using him in ways to truly ascertain Rory and Keiran and the strength of their bond... Now, more than ever it is time for the boys to be on their way.... Gemma isn't an idiot and there have/has to be some staff with eyes and ears that see what is going on, she has to have her on form of intelligence gathering...

Forgot all about Count von Kacken Scheiben and the once upon a time red-headed troll....

Well, you are the one that came up with...ahem...the hare-brained suggestion.....

Looking forward to meeting Jerry, should be an interesting dynamic to say the least!!

All I got is...

Indeed, the tale was enjoyable, and the book was destroyed, however I'm not sure the knowledge it contained was... For hours, they toiled under the moonlight, pushing the boundaries of their abilities and endurance. Finally, as dawn approached, the ritual reached its climax. With a final, thunderous incantation, Constantine and his companions unlocked the book's hidden knowledge. Pages that had once appeared blank now revealed intricate diagrams, spells, and secrets that defied comprehension. They had tapped into a wellspring of knowledge that transcended time and space, a testament to the power of determination and the pursuit of the unknown.

I have to assume Richter passed his test, the aftermath should be very interesting to say the least...

Just love the pace and tenor of these chapters and @Summerabbacat the following is just for you, the best bits are the first and last ones!!!

Just what will the morning bring, the boys intertwined on the bed??? There's much more to Brandon and I look forward to seeing more of him and Tyler...

Frank is more than the sum of his parts and the image he projects. That he also knows the real story behind the accident, is a ticking timebomb, most likely to go off at the worst possible moment... His conversation with Alice, comparing her to the skank, Brittany was a masterstroke. When will, if ever, will Alice stop taking her frustrations out on Henry?

Careful for what you wish for.....
