Amazing the shared activities of so many no matter where they are in the world.

Denise sounds lovely, we could everyone had a mother/grandmother like her.

Interesting start, and already like Brian and Toby; and dislike Dierdre and Jasper. Flowed really really and the writing was good. Can't wait to see what is next.

Good description, and just enough to make me want to see what is next.

Well, let's hope he collapses in relief... Damn, what a horrible start to the week. I actually worked 911, and you just would not believe some of the stuff that happens. Did a few ride outs with Police, Fire, and EMS. EMS ride outs were always the worst.

Well, dammit. You had to know that was going to be Caleb's reaction, but a little shocked that he actually ran. Is he strong enough to do so without hurting himself, I guess we will see. Caleb needs to understand that no one is looking at him with disgust or any negative feelings; it is only his own feelings that are causing him to believe that. He needs therapy and stat. Of course, unless he is willing to do the work, that won't actually help him any. Can't wait to see who goes after him and what happens next.

Good story that appears to be the first in a series. The writing and characterizations are well done. The pacing is generally good but a few chapters were either a little bumpy or a little loosey goosey but neither detracted from the story. The "secret" was never really much of a secret except to the main character, the reader should figure it out quickly. That said, the fact the reader is in on the secret does not hurt the story at all, and in some ways enhances it. The lore behind the story doesn't seem to follow any established ones, and appears to be original but so far is well done. Quick read and enjoyable, can't wait for the next book.

Well, that is a horrible way to find out. I have never understood why people find barns romantic; there are always a million ways to get seriously hurt. Scott finally said the word, vampire. Greg seems calm, but will he remain so? Excellent chapter, can't wait to see what happens next. What lore are you using for the characterizations for Scott and his family? This doesn't seem to follow any of the established ones really.

Jubal has a great idea; if they can pin the herd of horses, minus the stallion because not sure that would be wise, they could get the horses they want and if they can break the others, make a fine profit. Can't wait to see how this plays out. I do think that Jubal is on the right track with Reid. Lucas isn't ready to open up, and that is fine, but Reid is clearly not happy that Jubal is staying around at least so close to Lucas. Have to wonder who was involved in Jubal being drug behind a horse, and how long ago was it. True windows were rare in log cabins and tricky to put in. That said, they made a world of difference, but you definitely need shutters for them as well. Great chapter, can't wait to see what happens next.

What a chapter, loved how the guys quickly pivoted based on the new information and quickly decided what to do. They do need to tell their friends but I agree they need to have everything further along before they do. And what the hell, it amazes me how someone people will see someone that is younger and just assume they have no clue and try to take charge. Love how they but Ms. Bossy in her place. Excellent chapter, can't wait for the next update.

Asa did the right thing and then was shocked by the behavior of the hunters; when in actuality very few people do the right thing just for the sake of doing so. Asa knew about the pack and his actions saved Caleb; but will Caleb actually be happy about that, I doubt it. Caleb will probably think that he would be out of his misery now, except for the actions of Asa. Ah, so a light shifter, pretty rare to encounter one of the them. Wonder why he has chosen to isolate himself, what is his backstory going to be. Excellent update, but like @weinerdog impatient for the next update as well.

You know, I think it is genetic. Car salesman are either predisposed to be idiots or brilliant; rarely anything in between. The boys are thinking like businessmen, and it is great to see. They are also smart enough to know what they don't know and seek advise. Well written, can't wait to see what happens next.

Honestly, this is not the first time you have commented and seemed to equate wealth with a cushy life; but I can tell you from personal experience that is not always true. I am not saying that Will has had some nightmare life that he has bravely overcome; but there have been a lot of issues that he has had to deal with that could have crippled him emotionally. True, the kidnapping in Paris and the loss of Robbie and Jeanine and even Hank to a lesser extent were horrible. But don't forget what he had to go through when Jeanine had her breakdown, when JJ had his breakdown and all that was associated with all of those issues, when Marie had her breakdown and his involvement in that, and then almost being killed by a Cartel hit squad. Plus, many issues and tragedies that have happened because his family is wealthy and has enemies. Not sure why you feel the need to constantly remind everyone how wealthy the family is, we all know that, and how it has somehow cushioned everything they have ever had to deal with, it hasn't. Wealth does not insulate you from pain and tragedies; but allows you better ways to perhaps seek help and recover from them.

I swear it is a right of passage that Stef and Wil seem to take these delightful young men shopping. Loved the symbolism of the phone, it was meaningful in it's own way. Will has truly not had an easy life. Yes, it is buffered by his families wealth; but he has had truly trying times and issues that would have broken many in his place, but he has come through it stronger than before. I just love how Will and Travis have this shorthand and Will seems to be able to pick up on when Travis is ebbing and flowing and reacts to it so appropriately. Leave it to JP to make sure that Travis is getting back on track with his studies. JP is the bomb, but first and foremost he is truly an educator on his base level. What a great chapter...

No one can help Caleb until Caleb decides that he is willing to be helped and that will start by trying to forgive himself. Caleb has found himself in a good place with good people and a good Alpha; but until he is ready none of that matters. Caleb needs to start looking forward to his future; and learn to put the past where it belongs. Excellent start to this new story.

Reid and Lucas appear to have some history; wonder if the Sheriff is wishing it wasn't history. Lucas seems to perhaps have moved on; but was that his choice or Reid's? Jubal and Lucas have such an easy camaraderie that it is hard to remember that they just meet a few days ago. Not always the smartest thing to get that attached to someone that quickly, especially back then, but sometimes shit just happens. Looks like Jubal would be able to find plenty of work, if he wanted something else to do; and land would be cheaper here; we never really found out why he was heading to Larkspur did we... As always, the visualizations created by the writing are outstanding.

You know, Brad can go Mafia Don scary at the drop of a hat. The only one that does it better is JP. I know Stef is the steely business mogul, but he just doesn't have that truly scary edge that JP and Brad have. Will any of the younger generation truly have it? I guess I could see Darius, Will, or Claire going full Mafia Don scary, but will they ever measure up to JP and Brad; I truly don't think so. I know that Travis was upset; but he really played that all wrong. That said, Will should have really already had the conversation with Travis that they were trying to acquire Buck Industries; it isn't like Travis was in any position to spike the deal. The notes at the end were just too precious. I really love Charles and Elise; wish we had seen more of them, so to speak. So glad that Stef is arriving, he will certainly shake things up a little bit. Bravo, Mr. Arbour, truly outstanding.

Things are moving at a rapid pace; and yet, Scott still has not given his explanation. All of these plans could blow up, of course, if they did, we would not have a story, but still. Scott needs to have a discussion sooner rather than later. Greg already understands something that some in business never do; first impressions matter. That said, there is a danger in working with family and friends both; let's hope both work out okay. Excellent chapter, flowed really well. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Character development is great, you quickly care about most and learn to hate those that are evil. Writing is good, flow to the story is generally good; but some chapters are super short and some of the violence is truly gag worthy. If you like stories with unique and varied characters with highs and lows; then this might be the series for you. Posting is generally quick, but some chapters are very short. Some of the violence is extreme; if you have a sensitive stomach, you might think twice. I do recommend this series as it is different and has always kept me interested, but you must read the books in order; will not make sense otherwise.

Well, you know good accountants are damn hard to find. LOL. I do sort of feel that the emancipated minor issue might come into play with others areas as well. And of course, and LLC is the way to go. Have to protect what assets he already has or will have access to. Excellent chapter, and flowed really well. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Jubal and Lucas have made a grand start. And gotten more than I could imagine done in just that one day. They are already finding reasons to touch each other and to open up in ways neither of them are sure about yet. I think some of that is because they instinctually feel that the other is open to it. @84Mags is right, calming seems to fit on so many levels. Excellent chapter, can't wait to see what happens next.

Okay, these three need to die truly horrible excruciating deaths and soon.

I am so happy... It took the gifts of several of them to do so; but Pelipi has been rescued, and he did not even know he was lost...

Pelipi is alive, I am so happy. What a wonderful thing Auntie Peg and Dottie have done. It will be a blessing to all. That said, I see issues with so many youth in one area with evil afoot.

Once again, the Messiahs prove to be as monstrous as anything else. The death of those that are young and had no chance at life is terrible.
