Like the others, I think the interesting parts are when they break into couples and you get to see how they act and react with each other, how different situations can bring unexpected revelations. While all of them do get along and enjoy spending time together, for two of the couples, the idea that they can be free to explore and find places to just be themselves is lovely. A truly enjoyable time both together and apart.

Well, the four left after the ICE princess left seem to be at least interested in getting to an answer. However there does not appear to be much to go on; and the original two detectives appear to be either incompetent, or they were hiding something trying to get credit for a big bust. Sharpe seems to have a past that was more interesting than I originally would have thought. He might be more of an asset than I my first impression of him. Diaz is still a bit of a blank to me, but the fact that he reminds Kellen of Dust says a lot. And Nora seems eager to help, and maybe actually get to do something besides get coffee and water.

Holy Hell, I need a shower.

Ash and Axel are going to have to find a common idea to move forward, neither has so far been willing to compromise, but do they really want to or not? I think the guides are being taken, and something is being done to them, just not sure what yet. And I can make a good guess at who is behind it, but what will happen when it comes out? The professor is a total asshat.

I can see this causing issues forever more. I was so hoping that Ash and Axel would be compatible in all ways and can tell that isn't going to be the case. Why is life never simply.

WOW, just cannot wait to see where this goes now. This explained so much about Silas. Ash and Axel, okay but who was the mystery guy at Halloween, I really want to know. Why did Axel realize the match but not Ash?

Was Axel the rescuer from Halloween? I am starting to think that he was. Jasper is such a tool.

I can't decide which side annoys me the most. Why can't there ever be a stable moderate group, in real life or in the stories.

Maybe Silas, Axel, and Ash could be a poly group... LOL

Like @VBlew, I am starting to think that Silas is gay and denying it, pushing Ash away not so much because he doesn't want to be guided, but because it is a guy, and there is an aspect of sexual attraction involved. Something is going to have to give, and it isn't going to be pretty when it does.

Well, Ash is going to get it from the other guides, they are going to turn on him for being too helpful to the ESPer's.

We don't know what drove Silas to deny himself, but to punish Ash is idiotic. For an advanced society, they can't tell who is telling the truth and who isn't.

Way too many alpha personalities in a confined space.

What total asses they both are...

This is the second mention of the deepest layer being unreachable, is that only for someone that is truly in sync with another person?

So many levels to deal with, I am surprised that more on both sides don't flip out.

We, as a society, tend to believe that if only we could get past work and focus on ourselves, we and the rest of the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, human behavior wouldn't change. Some would be better, but so many are just selfish and controlling in some way or another. Having that much free time, would just give them time to be more selfish and try and find more ways to control others.

Well, this seems a little different, can't wait to see how it develops.

Some truly first-rate writers and stories in these lists; one of my favorite genres.

Good Lord, save us from would be junior detectives that want to solve the case. Nick has put himself in a great deal of danger, more than he can really understand. Let's hope that Rick can get there before anything spooks Corcoran, after he was picked up, I am surprised that he did not immediately go to ground, but perhaps he is looking for a playmate to take with him, yikes. The meeting with the family went better than I expected. I have to admit that Stacey seemed sincere, I was afraid she was after something, and the small glimpse we got of Chris and Matthew make them all seem on the up and up. They have both escaped their past, to some extent, although Rick is being dragged back into his somewhat. Maybe they can make a new beginning and finally be family to each other. Tom and Beth were of course upset to learn that Corcoran had been picked up but then slipped away again, but they need to realize that there is a prime suspect now, and that was further along than anything in the past. Starting to think that Corcoran's obsession with Rick may bell be his undoing, was Rick his initial obsession, the one that got him started on this path?

And what exactly do sorcerer's smell like? And no matter the species, bacon is always the right answer. The question of age and sexual consent is going to be way more complicated than anyone ever suspected. So excited for the update.

Always amazing what little gems we learn from these.

Good Lord, I think that Daphane is worse than Poisonous Venetia and that is saying a whole lot. Also, why the hell is Graham so interested in where Louis is making his money, does he need a loan? The contretemps did lead to a delicious ending however, Charlie forced to stay at Louis's place and having to share a bed. Most places like what I envision The Stables to be would have something in the contract about not living on premises. Some of it would be liability issues, but there are other reasons as well. Do wonder how Tom will take this, I don't expect a jealous reaction, but still. Good for Louis and Charlie.

The same thought occurred to me, the way he was so meticulous and fussy.

Well, an interesting group is coming together, but none of them seem to be exactly enthused to be here. We need a few backstories on the main characters, and while I know some of that will be forthcoming, let's make it snappy. LOL. Need to figure out the weak link, although I suspect the ICE agent will be, but who knows she might be a stand up kinda person. Exactly what powers does the druid possess? So much room for this to go in so many different directions.
