And just when you thought it might be taking a turn for the better... Sally really sort of pissed me off, if you are going to jump to conclusions, at least accept you are wrong when told so without dragging it all out. I know that Peter was worried about Justin, but did he think having a screaming match in the middle of everything was going to do anything or anyone any good? Let's up Scott can find Justin before his dad does; and maybe calm him down some.

Well, at least this attack was not anywhere near the youth center. I just do not understand the Demifae at all. All of this hate and it just seems to keep growing. Oh dear, what happened to Djaruki? Did she use too much of her power?

Love how Travis sprung this surprise on Will. They are just too cute together. I swear, I think Will does s&%t sometimes to just push JJ's buttons, of course, they are brothers so that makes sense, I guess. I sort of miss Darius, don't get to see him much and he is just sort of there when we do. Glad that Kris is so excited about this weekend; let's hope that when it is over that he isn't suicidal. I believe that JJ will be there for him and will help him with this. JJ truly cares about Kris, how deeply, I am not sure even he knows yet. I wish JJ's therapy would help him realize how much stronger he would be if he would stay tighter with his family. A Sunday dinner at Escorial; what could possibly go wrong.

Well, glad that Olona seems to be on the mend. I do hope she takes time to recover, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. She also needs to think about her actions going forward when it comes to selling some of her merchandise. And just where is Dozi and Tchama?

I am glad that Thomas and Keith meet up with Stan and his friend, that said, I don't see either of them turning into big club goers. The other activities seemed much more in line with what I would have thought each of them would have cared for. They really seem to be finding their way with each other, while finding things they both enjoy doing with each other. Rather enjoyed this one a lot.

OMG, I don't know whether to laugh, yell, or slap the hell out of someone. We have to see where this goes.

Great choice, but as usual, I got the wrong end of the guess stick. And I should have been closer to being right, oh well, will try again next time.

Some might fine stories on this list...

Loved this chapter, cannot imagine why I never thought about the fact that Tygo's ability caused whomever was in the bubble to speed up so that it appeared that everything else stopped. Leave it to a Queen...

This chapter seems to confirm for me that Keith has unexpected and hidden depth and talent. He is charming without really trying and has a true adventuresome spirit. I feel that he and Thomas are really growing as a couple. Isobel fascinates me, I can't tell quite why, but something about her character just pulls me to her. I can't wait to see how the restoration goes and how the documentation of it proceeds. Things seem to be going too smoothly. LOL

Anyone can get to the point that they feel that suicide could be the answer, maybe the only one. It really isn't. I guess if you are terminally ill or in a great deal of pain and it will never stop, I can understand and even support the idea. Justin, however, seems to suffer neither of these issues. We don't know what made him make that choice, but perhaps Scott and being in a place that he was happy at one point will help him open up and maybe understand the situation a little better. In small towns that drifting away happens quite often. Rarely is there enough work, unless you're lucky enough that your family can somehow supply a job and you have to move to try and make something of yourself or for yourself. People that you grew up with and thought you would be tight with forever just sort of slide away from you, it can be incremental or all at once depending on their situation. Excellent chapter, pacing was good and very descriptive.

Let's hope that Olano is able to continue to heal and the different treatments don't counteract anything that the others are doing. This group truly cares about each other and will protect, defend, and do what they can no matter what. A little surprised that Olona did not make sure whatever she was wearing could stand up to the blast from the weapon she placed on Abernathy. She had to know the level of power it was capable of, strange...

Well, Her Royal Highness, the Princess Amelia backed down, I for one am shocked, thought she would put up more of a fight. If my memory serves, she did fall in love with one of Royal equerry, but don't recall off hand much about him except he was much older than here. The liaison between George, Calvert, and Carmella was delightful, not that it did much for me personally, but it just felt right. I think that taking Carmella as his official mistress, pending his children's reaction, may be one of the best decisions he has ever made; and that is saying alot. So, Calvert is not Sir Francis, and an equerry of the King. As @Darryl62 pointed out, this will give him more than a little financial security, but also puts him as someone that will be watched and hunted by the Mama's during the season... Bravo, truly Bravo @Mark Arbour

Great round up as always, thanks for the work you do. I knew three of the words this week, yea me... Strangely enough, I know several Karen's but none of them are "Karen's".

Well, a dramatic rescue and then the declaration, wonder how that will go over. LOL Interesting start to the story, inventive even, and the pacing and writing was really well done. Will be waiting to see how this progresses.

Abernathy did not suffer enough, plus, I was really hoping that he would get into another fight with the Demifae, oh well. I do hope that Olona will be alright, maybe if she is, she has learned a valuable lesson about asking more questions before selling things that kill.

Honestly, don't think that she suffered enough.. I was almost hoping that she would shift in some manner and Abernathy would go after her.

Thoroughly enjoyed this chapter, and Vaughn and Dante continue to grow on me, and it appears each other. I just love how they interact and the dialog between them is just benne. Well, knowing Heyward or at least being in his circle seems to be still paying benefits; I wonder if Greta wasn't a little loose lipped, or was that on purpose? Such wonderful descriptive passages, and the real joy that @Robert Hugill displays in his writing shows how much he enjoys this subject matter as well.

Well, we finally got an outside perspective on Tygo's abilities, and it makes me wonder what she does exactly and how it effects the rest of the world, or does it just effect the perspective of those within her bubble? Glad they are going to Teshon City, and can't wait for them to reach the Youth center...

I need to go back and see if I did a recommendation for this story or not, it was excellent...

Well, this seems to have taken place before the last chapter, but I hope that when Abernathy does show up, that everyone is ready for it. I don't want him to catch Olona by surprise or alone. Just love how accepting this group is, it's too bad that so many of those around them have not learned that lesson yet.

Keith read something into it that wasn't there; but there was more than he was aware of because of the past, both his and Thomas's past. Bart was right, always be open and keep those lines of communication open, you may not always like what you hear back, but having the knowledge of what is going on is always better than what you will make up in your head. Really nice chapter, thanks for the update.

Well, that did not go as well as they had hoped; but honestly, much like @drpaladin said, the arrogance of the Demifae will prove to be there undoing. Of course, I do think it would not hurt for Abernathy to kill a few more of them before he goes, but still. He may well go after Olona, but he will have to truly avoid his own people, will he get back to Croosen or will the others get to her first, who will she side with; and will she be able to side with anyone in the shape she is in.

Well, I would not expect it to be easy, but this group should be able to take Abernathy. Olona may well have a way of disarming the weapon, but they don't realize that he has taken the mantis gland of one of those he killed. Will they be ready for his new abilities, I think not.

Well, it seems that Muhammed was taking too long to get back to the mountain, so the mountain decided to visit Muhammed, and just like that Maio is here. Is Deia with here, who are the others, all druids? Where the hell did Luis get to? Why did he pick this moment to leave, is it part of the curse, or just him being an ass. Still think it was a mistake to send Chronos away; was he really lying or simply not revealing the whole truth? Truly interesting chapter, can't wait to see what happens next.
