I can't help but feel there is a good bit of hypocrisy in Mhairi's father's stance. His father's company made tank parts for British war effort. Would he have preferred living under Nazi rule? As for the questionable activities, if you only want to benefit from "clean" money, you probably shouldn't poke around in the past to far. If you look hard enough, you are going to find something undesirable about almost every old company. I like the idea of a charitable trust. Though I like the idea more for the good it will do, than to just assuage Mhairi's guilt.

I guess my biggest problem with Sarah is the lost potential. And I don't mean it in a "you have to get a good job young lady" kind of way. Being happy and successful isn't about having a prestigious job or making a lot of money, unless that's your goal. Having a job that is fulfilling and challenging, pays the bills, and makes you happy is my definition of successful. I don't think Sarah is there yet. But she is an interesting and complex character.

I'm still struggling with Sarah. On one hand, she is a self-centered, under achieving slacker, and has been since her junior year of college. On the other hand, she is an intelligent, strong-willed young woman who came from nothing. I think she is covering her self confidence issues with loud bravado. I admire Jeff for sticking around, I still think he could be a stabilizing influence on her and a good partner for her. The work warning could be a wake up call, either at the law firm or setting her back on the path started as a child. I visited the National Air Force museum In Dayton, not expecting a lot, but was so impressed. I haven't been to DC, but I want to go mainly for the museums.

This is a memorable, tension filled masterpiece! There is romance, mystery, animals, a major hurricane, and more than a little suspense! It's so well written and I wouldn't change a thing!

Their meeting with Corey couldn't have come at a better time, for either Corey or our guys. They have powers that the bad guys can't comprehend, but the bad guys had knowledge and information that our guys didn't fully understand. Corey will protect them from the evils of the human world, they will save Corey and cure him from past abuse and hurt. I sense some attraction between Corey and Michael. The meeting with Woorawa and his people was magical. Rhys has a new role. The team needs a good catch-up training/war council.

Now that I've had time to process and dab my eyes, I have a few specific comments. I was reading this with Antiques Roadshow on BBC America on TV, and the pattern of Billie's tea ritual seemed not dissimilar to a proper British tea service. Burke nods, but politely waits for his tea. No news, fantastic or fatal, is an excuse for discourtesy I loved Billie, I think his earlier life might make a good story, hint hint, if you are ever so inclined! Micco and Chase were always meant to be together, it was just a matter of time. They will thrive at the new Brother Wolf. Perhaps Chase can help Burke, although he is not Seminole, as his side gig. Micco will continue his training with Billie. Kane will grow and learn and retake his place within his pack.

I can't adequately express how much I loved both this chapter and the whole story. Thank you for Kane.

We learn more about Gesi, he is a complex villain. His greed for power and wealth is based on injustice by a greedy and wealthy villain! Evil begets evil.

Thank goodness for Burke! A man that would hire people to rape and murder his own wife and daughter, and brag and take joy in looking at photos of the atrocities, should not be allowed to exist. Burke did the world a favor. As for Micco, he is in an introspective mood, looking and wondering at the destruction surrounding him. I'm hoping the new refuge will be built. More so I'm glad that Micco will have Chase to love him and keep him grounded.

I missed this when it posted. What an entertaining chapter. You have a talent writing sexual tension!

I would bet that Kenji did see River and August and was jealous. As far as his money source, I seem to remember him describing himself as a businessman. River was vague on just what this “business” involved.

I'm reading this for the first time. I have to admit, the name of the store threw me! The largest grocery store chain in the US definitely does not have a fantasy department, that I know of.

I have to say that is the fastest gestation period I have ever heard of! Angela was just pregnant and starting to show when they arrived.

The meeting was as successful as possible, without the author being unrealistic. Connie saw her son as a capable adult, whether she is ready to admit it or not. She reminds me of a former coworker. Always playing the martyr and needing to be the center of attention. She will either get onboard or be left behind. Her choice. Same goes for Miles.

Thank you for the chapter, it was very well-written and we learned more about Ashlee's anxiety issues. On the surface, Ashlee seems to have her shit together, like at work. What appears to others to be some manageable OCD. But underneath, what she keeps hidden from everybody is someone who thinks she is broken and will ruin her own life and Felicity's life as well. She desperately needs some therapy. One issue that needs addressed between the women is that Felicity does not think or act in the same way as Ashlee, and she never will. The reverse is also true. They need to find a common ground where they can both live comfortably and thrive in their own ways. I think the flashback/dream parts were successful and added to our understanding of Ashlee. Sarah, whom I have still not warmed up to, needs some stability in her life. Maybe Jeff will help her settle. She is a smart person, but makes self absorbed and unrealistic decisions. I know some people similar to Sarah. If you haven't figured it out by my lengthy comments, I really like your story and your characters have grabbed a hold of me!

I think it might be a good idea for Keith to befriend Hughie, he needs more gay friends than just a married couple, although they seem to be a good influence and good listeners. It seems as if Keith is not ready to make any first moves yet. Hopefully in time, he will gain the confidence.

I'm sorry but this just can't be in the current time. All of their interactions at airports throughout this story would have been impossible. This has to be set prior to 9/11/01. Also, the account of Thomas' parents death was transferred to microfiche, Tommy is only 11. And the complete and utter lack of anyone googling anything.

Just a current day FYI, Halloween is now widely celebrated in several European countries and Australia.

I think we established this is set sometime in the 90's (cellphones common but internet not widely used, microfiche still in use), but flying is so different today. Unfortunately not for the better.

Fortunately for Corey, our guys discovered him. Fortunately for our guys, they discovered Corey! The international surveillance team is perhaps even more unscrupulous than Morrison. Kieran and co. will be doing the world a favor by neutralizing them. I've been eager to find out Michael's role in our adventure, it appears that his contributions are upon us. It's perplexing to align the orcas and ocean with Marntwe and the outback, but your world is interconnected in magical ways!

I decided many chapters past that this is not a realistic or up to date kind of story. I just accept the inconsistencies and continuity problems as a fact and enjoy the storyline. It is sweet and heartfelt and has engaging characters.

I hope Mark isn't permanently disintegrated! Two does not make a triad. I wonder what the labyrinth will lead to, assuming they find their way through? Well, at least they have their granola bars!

I agree that Martina deserves no sympathy. Almost everyone suffers the same kind of grief at some point in their lives, very few of us choose to respond with the viciousness Martina showed. Good riddance. Micco tamed the beast! His capacity for love and peacefulness saved their lives and will make him a great shaman. Now they just have to race back to the shelter with the eyewall chasing them.

I figured Annalisa would be the conduit for change, we have our first step! I’m proud of Colin for giving Miles the talking to that was a long time coming. It’s great that Owain and Colin have their first “couple friends”.

I knew a lot of kids that went wild in college. Some figured out what was important to them and made it through, many did not. Charlie is better off without Drew.
