That's coming in the second book. The one I'm still trying to get right even now lol.

I'm still in the early chapters of book 2 but at least I friggen started it.

Ooh someone can "Reed" between the lines.

Thanks I appreciate it!

Aww Lizard kisses. That nightmare was surreal, I can imagine the guilt Malik must feel over what happened especially since he was doing his damndest to relieve the tension his mere existence was pulling on the household. The interlude with Rhaelce was nice to have because he and Malik really hadn’t had any deep discussions at this point since they’ve been focused on just getting away. I was wondering what his motivations were, although I had an inkling.

The could just lie and roll it back to the range that would have fit when I registered two decades ago. 😂

I’m like you. My phone is set to dark mode because we had to live with years of not having the option, so I’m evening out the usage between the two. When I’m reading for long periods of time I prefer dark mode if it’s available just because my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be. My PC has a dark theme on it so it doesn’t blind me when I decide I need to do something on it at 2am but most of my apps are set to normal, except when I write. The program I use to do that is set for more of a dark navy background and white text because it’s soothing to me. All in all it’s a mix of both really.

Well I am now but I’m pushing the limit on that age range and I’ll probably cry when it’s time to change it next year.

I’m getting caught up as I missed last weeks somehow. (The days run together) The flight from “home,” definitely seemed warranted, I was always worried Malik would wake up with someone trying to bury a stake in his heart you know to ward off the evils, and that vibe got pumped up after the funeral. But to find another human, what a relief. I probably would have bawled like a baby myself to finally hear someone respond in a language I could understand without trying. So now a group of two turns into four. Now we’re feeling like a fellowship. All we need now is a cursed piece of jewelry, an enemy from the undead and we’re well on our way! I’m absolutely loving this now. @Thirdly great job on the art work, having it randomly pop up is always a surprise and a great help lol

Much appreciated. Trust me if I ever do publish it, I’m going to rewrite parts of it mainly to make it better in a couple of areas that bug me. Book 2 is currently being worked on and I may have it before the end of the year, trying to keep the pace and flow of the original plus add new concepts is challenging but we will see. Im so glad you enjoyed it. This was the first time I’ve ever attempted anything related to a thriller and responses like yours tell me I may actually be good at it. 😂

I’ve been threatened with tornado sirens twice in a 7 day period, both were too close for comfort, I don’t mind spring showers but can we please turn down the chances of hail and tornados? 😂. The wind has been blowing branches off the trees over here.

Liam needs help because I am -not- crush material. I'm the mistake, the lesson you obviously need to learn lmao.

Well it's been an amazing experience for me, I've never been called out in a story before. So there's that.

Well shit. Also I'm in the process of cleaning tea off my monitor. Must have been something I read. 😂

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I'm never eating vegetables at your place that haven't seen a store shelf in less than three hours.

That was a hard one. Now I understand why no one goes out at night, it's not a choice really. It's survival. I just hope Malik isn't blamed for what happened. It'd be very easy to spin this as a "curse" for helping the no tail, and it's not like Nyrra has particularly liked Malik from the get go.

It does. You really don’t want it.

Only because Riley traded up to people who have all their teeth.

He’s getting a Jaaaaaaaaag. now I’m trying to give Kier the benefit of the doubt since he was the hero of sorts in the first book and don’t think I haven’t noticed you trying to flip his script too Mr. Author.

Oh trust me some of us absolutely love the blind panic because we need the push, me especially. ❤️😂

Glad I'm not the only one.

Oh crap secret author already? Time for me to schedule my blind panic as I come up with an idea rewrite it 10 times leave half of it undone till the deadline and only submit it at the last possible second before I try to rewrite it again. I shared that so our lovely community members can experience the show twice this year as I intend to do the same thing for the Anthology at the end of the year. Thanks for the update @Cia! 😂. A couple of squirts from this inhaler and I’ll be good again.

You know, because it’s pregnant. 😂

Ugh Ben. (And I mean that with love.) I’m glad Riley actually has some morals because using Ben as an enforcer he could totally just take over the underworld, and leave just enough traces to make it look like Kier did it. Ben has a vulnerability now, and those tend to get exploited by enemies.

Plus if Riley sucks up to Ben’s mum enough maybe he gets in the will. 😂 Of course they may just buy Riley a chip shop because it’s cheaper.
