Thank you so much for reading and leaving your thoughts and insights along the way. Comments like yours 100% make me want to write more! I’m currently working through a big project in the fantasy genre that wouldn’t fit here. But I have a couple of side projects and I'm seriously considering digging deeper into one of them to post here ☺️☺️

I love this glimpse into 50s life. I would have loved to use dip pens in school. But I don’t envy the teachers who had to manage the ink and mess that kids would probably make of it as they’re learning. This is the perfect song for a train ride. I really enjoyed it, thanks for posting.

Funny you should mention that, because when I first started writing this, I was considering supernatural elements. The first few chapters I kept getting tempted by the “but what if they were vampires?” bug 😂😅 But the story refused to go in that direction so that was that.

Thank you for the kind review! It was a nice surprise after not having visited the site in a few months. There’s a lot I like about living in a major city, but I do dream about having more open space and fresh air. I think my ideal location is somewhere I can access big city vibes and wilderness as well.

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much

Amaris is getting a lot scarier… No wonder Lex went insane. I don’t like seeing Kalian lose control of his mind 😔 They are going to have a huge challenge ahead of them.

I’m somewhat embarrassed to say I didn’t even start to suspect that Rah was Talon’s sister. When I think back, it should have been obvious. That’s okay, it made reading this chapter so exciting! I melted when Kalian knew exactly how to respond to Talon when he was vulnerable. It was just so sweet. Loved this chapter ❤️

I’m with Talon. Loren and Rah haven’t earned trust yet, so they don’t deserve it yet. Kalian is being naive and somewhat childish with his blind trust and his black and white thinking. I have a feeling this is going to come back to bite him. In response @drsawzall’s comment, I did not get the impression that Kalian is capable of ending the monster’s existence in his dream. He was able to trap and squish it, but the thing just ended the dream when it felt like it. Anyway, now I wonder what will happen to Talon if he does kill it. Hmmm lots to ponder.

@Geron Kees I also vote for the former! I say that selfishly because despite this being a work of complete fiction, hurting my characters is painful for me 😅 I hope your no nightmares streak continues indefinitely 🤞

This was a bonus chapter that was very full of bonuses!! The mind sharing moments of intimacy between Kalian and Talon are my favorites ❤️

I loved the soul eater battle. That thing is scary. But “it shrunk down on itself and vanished.” doesn’t scream dead to me. Maybe it’s just hiding from all of their mean taunting. I guess I’ll have to wait and see. When I read Kalian beating himself up about fighting the soul eater, I think having an intense sadistic urge wake in you like that would be pretty disturbing. Yes he’s being too hard on himself, but he’s also very empathetic and not used to feeling that way. So he just needed some reassurance, imho. Although I did enjoy the image of them spanking the soul eater 😂 Also, Hanja is hard core with his guilt. I mean, just how far would he have gone for that forgiveness? (On that note, good thing he’s not paired with Talon or Wren) It must be a cultural thing, because if not, I’m thinking we may need to get him a collar. Last note. When you label each perspective but with the character’s name, it helps keep things straight. I like getting windows into what other characters are doing when Kalian isn’t around.

I was so excited to see the light and shadow magik weave together. They are going to be so badass! I hope Hanja recovers in time to help pick up the pieces after this freaky monster thing gets obliterated. Also, I volunteer to supply you with all the wine you’d like! Lol

The cuter and snugglier Talon and Kalian get, the more tension I feel that they’re going to get ripped apart by someone or something. Stupid soul eater 😡
