Very interesting takes, thank you for your input! As to point 3, that is very true. But given how Vinicius has raised him, I doubt Dani would be able to wipe out the warring factions and go about living his life without any guilt. His morality is Vinicius' way of ensuring his very own checks and balances system within Dani--the most powerful Special. It was instilled within him from such a young age so that he wouldn't take advantage of his power and start simply destroying those in his way. To point 4, you're right we still don't know. There may be reasons for why Vincent is doing what he's doing, or he may be playing Dani for his own scheme. One thing is for sure, he knows having Dani on his side will make things a lot easier. Yes, and he is mad! He's been griping since the beginning of the story 😂 He could technically do that, although it might put a huge target on his back. I don't see the State just happily letting him go and not trying to hunt him down since they feel entitled to the power he possesses. And despite his power, nobody is completely invincible. If he makes enough enemies, they could find a way to stop him...Especially right now when he's still learning about his capabilities.

Nicely put! And good question, I think we will have to learn more about King Romero in order to compare. You're right that Vincent's desire for revenge is pretty natural given what happened to his family and how he and his mother have been treated ever since.

Yes, who is our Vincent truly? He seems to be able to play many roles. Indeed, he is going to have to make a decision one way or the other. The question is: what will he choose to do?

Thank you! 😊 I appreciate the feedback.

Hmm, how would that look indeed? Could be quite lonely 🤔 We'll see.

Yes, he is stuck in the middle between two powerful sides that, from the looks of it, are about to go to war 😬

25. CIPRIAN'S AWAKENING Deep amidst the windy howls of the Moldovan wilderness and darkness emerged a shadowy figure. There was an ominous chill that carried the scent of wet pine in the air, and a mass of dark clouds on the horizon. The wind whisked dry leaves up in the air every few seconds, making it difficult to see ahead. The vampire walked quickly and with purpose, determined to get somewhere fast. There was another behind him, a skinny figure trailing in the back, watching his

Poetically stated 🖤

What's the knife for!? 😂 😅

Indeed. Poor Demetrius 🥺 Absolutely, he is keeping him at a distance and Dani doesn't understand why. One big minefield 😬

Yes, I agree. He's way too trusting. Something is definitely going on...but what 🤔

24. TRUST NO ONE Thanks to Vincent’s confession, I was left in a difficult predicament. The obvious thing to do was to turn him in. He was, very clearly, planning a government takeover of some sort. How he was hoping to accomplish that, I still hadn’t the faintest idea. Even if he managed to raise a few family members back from hibernation, how in the world was he hoping to win a war against the State? The State had unlimited resources, weapons, and soldiers. The State had ruthless A

So good, they could have went with a diff front cover though 😂

That's a very good question! There's the Academy and there's the vacation house. Good starting places if Dani is hoping to find some clues.

The letter is definitely important! Too bad Dani can't get it sooner.

Yes, absolutely! 👏🏼. Financial independence is key, even in the vampire world.

I agree, it's hard to imagine Dani and Deadnus ever working alongside each other 😬

23. THE WILL OF VINICIUS VALENTINI Neo threw me a long disapproving look. I hadn’t been able to sleep that night and tossed and turned wildly in my twin bed worrying about Vincent, waking the black dog up with each one of my erratic movements. Now it was morning, and both of us were grumpy. There was still no update about Vincent, so I did the only thing I could think of and marched over to Trusting’s office to see if she had any news. However, when I got to her office, I didn’t

🤣.🤣. We are going to have to wait and see. Vincent certainly doesn't consider her a worthy opponent, which is a bit alarming since she's killed so many of his family members.

That's a great theory, she does seem to thrive on evil and pain...

Demetrius will be back, don't you worry 😊 It would be neat if Graham used Demetrius as private security for Dani. But somehow I fear Maratoni wouldn't allow for that to happen. And you're right, I think we're all waiting for Deadnus to get her ass kicked, me included 😂

Thank you! I'm happy to hear that.

Oh yes, I think I remember watching a documentary on this. Or wait, was it shown on The Crown?

Good point 😂

Very true! But is Vincent overly confident? 🤔 His influence seems to have a wide reach, even after his death. Yes 💙
