Oh dear ..Poor Ade..there seems no way to escape Lurk's clutches .. Am I the only one who has noticed the characters are dropping off one by one😉

Teenage foibles I guess

Thank you for offering us a seat on this ride @mastershakeme..it was splendid !

I have never wanted to see a character brought down to earth so badly like have wished for Sophia since her introduction .. That woman has a warped mind...her delusion of grandeur ought to be studied..eh

Now that is how you channel Elsa and literally Let it go.. This chapter I was expecting like crazy. .and it lived up to it. That coming out scene is just so.. beautifully cathartic!...Am still thinking about it even when I write this.. You outdid yourself with this one @mastershakeme

Jesus...it seems you are hell bent on having us @mastershakeme Uber frustrated....you and Owen . In a way I personally empathise with Owen ..it's not easy shaking of shackles that have held you for long..He is just 18..and an only child at that.....the burden of responsibility and expectation is literally a millstone around his neck . Thank you!

I like how each chapter lately ups the tension...Each chapter dials up the degree of danger for the protagonists...in the previous chapter it was Josel and Bartos ...in this one we get a foreboding ...for all mankind in this universe .You really are on a roll lately 😜

Yes..now bring on the next series😜🤭

If you have read any mystery titles,it's always those 'nobody' characters that end up being quite significant in the plot...it's because nobody pays them attention..I like to believe Abelard fulfills that..

This chapter validates the 'good things happen to those who wait'...it was not just a book for me...these characters I lived with..hihi.. The chapter leaves me bereft of words....thank you!

I concur....am also fed up with Owen too...and knowing our esteemed author....must be getting giggly reading our frustration about it..haha

I don't even know where to begin with Margot in this chapter..eh. Like in this chapter she is sort of an 'hybrid' of some the manipulative female teenage characters I watched growing up...Blair Waldorf(Gossip girl) ,Alison DiLaurentis(Pretty Little Liars) ..I almost added Regina George in the mix.. That being said ..I personally feel like except Ryder, the two other people who seem to really see Owen as person are Beth and Eric, even though Eric is briefly there..The rest of the people seem to want Owen to live by the playbook they have set for him.

Am telling you...here in my country except in rural areas, no parent is going to stress their child about an engagement

You have made a really good assessment ...I couldn't have made a better one.. I do give Owen some bit of lee way because he is 18 ..so is literally 'still' a child. At 18, a person either usually has a default setting which has daring/impulsive or timid..we what setting Owen has... Margot masks manipulation and self-centered ness as logic

If you are feeling...imagine the frustration Ryder must be having. 🤣
