    Chapter 2

    Poor Charlie, and yes, Mom's ALWAYS know. It's like RADAR. Chloe still thinks he's a pod person, and Gay concussed Charlie is far more interesting than old Charlie. As for Tyler He's not observant, he's just... trying every line in the book to get the hot boy in the reform Blazer to go out with him and getting EXTREMELY lucky

  3. Chapter Three The Hartley family car was a black Range Rover with tinted windows and leather seats that creaked expensively with every turn. Taine sat in the back, pressed against the door, watching the streets of Leamington Spa slide past with the detached interest of a tourist in his own city. He'd lived in Warwick for forty years, had shopped in Leamington, attended conferences there, walked through the Pump Gardens and up the Parade on rare days when his body had cooperated. N

    I get that i could have strengthened that reasoning in this chapter. It is done in later chapters, but I could have done with a tighter message in this one.

    It comes down to Tim's Dad and controlling the narrative Tim's dad finding out is the danger. Out at school on social media can be controlled, hidden. A direct message to him saying "Here's a photo of your son" yep.

    Prologue

    The quick amongst you may be going: Miller? Hill Crest High? Where have I heard these before. Hill Crest, home of the Hawks, is the next school over from South Carleton High, and their biggest rivals. Miller is a familiar name because it is *that* Miller family. It's a Merrickville adjacent, next county over, story I just had to, sorry

    Chapter 1

    Chapter Two: The Negotiation The abandoned picnic table was set deep in the back corner of Hilcrest Park, far from the running trails and the squealing playground. It was supposed to be a neutral zone, but the silence there was charged, thick, and hostile. The late afternoon sun cast long, accusing shadows across the chipped wooden surface. They had been sitting in the suffocating quiet for ten minutes, their chairs pulled so far apart they were practically in different zip codes.

    Prologue

    Chapter One: The Waking Nightmare The world was a drum, and Justin’s skull was the skin being beaten. Thump-thump. Thump-thump. Not the sharp, quick rhythm of a migraine, but a thick, sodden, internal bass line that resonated with every beat of his own panicked heart. He tried to surface slowly, inch by agonizing inch, keeping his eyes clamped shut, hoping the reality he’d find could be blamed on a dream. His tongue felt like a piece of sandpaper left out in the Arizona sun, and

    Chapter 1

    Six months after surviving a demonic body swap, the squad is back—and Leamington Spa has a love problem. When a coven of witches accidentally fuses with a succubus, their broken spell unleashes chaos: a Deliveroo driver turned Regency suitor, a wrestler feeding grapes to the wrong boyfriend, and two Charlies fighting their own impossible attraction. Now the demon hunting squad must stop the Love Eternal Project before the whole town drowns in romance. Featuring cursed love potions, extremely polite demonic possessions, and the most awkward school day ever.

    Chapter 1

    i am rather enjoying the insane fun of writing a slightly off the wall set of stories for a break from the norm of what I have been writing.

    Chapter 1

    in my notes from last year, when I was coming up with the plot for this one. I had Alex and Darren as the two secondary characters. Darren would be learning how to be a trans man, and facing up to his personal demon, while Alex would be dealing with the nightmare of Darren's life. I decided to step back from it as I didn't want to offend or come across as preachy with it. I might revisit the characters in the future. Maybe in Charlie vs The Ex-Boyfriend Demon Hunter. (a potential book 3 i am toying with doing)

    Theo kicks ass, he has a backbone of steel and is braver than anyone gives him credit for.

    Prologue

    Charlie (new) and Charlie (old) are both characters in this book. Old Charlie has a journey to learn, and Taine isn't going to leave Charlie on his own.

    Chapter 13

    More a slip on my part while writing. The ending was originally (that part) written before the scene where Elias changed his name. I was, when writing, trying to deal with the fallout of Theo's violation of home, and it dawned on me that Elias needed a gesture to show that they were stronger than that violation, so I went back over it and wrote that it, it's the reason that chapter is longer than some of the others (that is one of my little secrets, you can always tell I rewrote something or added to the chapter later if it is a long one. )

    Prologue

    The one weakness of a philosopher like that. What are you willing to do to save a life, compromise who you are? Would you give up your own morality to ensure an innocent person isn't killed? What about an evil person, would you protect an innocent by sacrificing an evil one? What defines Evil? Is old charlie really horrible. or just a drunk teenager being a teenager? the whole corruption of a good man by offering him a deal that preys upon that morality, to Ellis is "Yummy"

    Chapter 13

    I'd like to write another Western at some point... i have a vague idea exploring Jean Levesque's history... but trying to find a reason for all the cast to travel to Louisiana to do it is difficult. I want to avoid contrivance... so either I will do so with one of the relationship sets (Probably Bobby and Timmy) or do it with new characters... to give a chance for something fresh. Not sure, it's a bit idle thought at the moment.
