Title: Chapter 1

Wow!  How did I miss this story?  It was incredible and I cannot stop being blown away by the visuals that you have created in my head.  It is like I was watching it unfold like a movie!  I love the complexities of the Caleb/Eva/Todd tale, as well as all the other characters you have created here.  I am rooting for Caleb strong, but Todd is very interesting, too.  Please Please continue this story!  I must see how it ends!

I love this chapter, but when are you going to update again.  I want to read about Todd story.  I want to also know if there are going to be more action (love play) between Todd and Vange or John and Vange?

Hey that scene with the invisible arm was freaking terrific!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it, was kind of freaky hahaha.  Todd definitely is the guy that gets what he wants and perhaps Evangeline will be no exception, or will she?  Thanks for reading and the review and stars!

Awesome chapter. Loved learning Caleb's backstory. You're kinda making me like him. Bad girl! You know I'm all about Todd. :)

Author's Response: I'm glad I'm kind of making you like because I sure as hell worked my butt off to make him more competition for Todd hahaha, I knew there was a particularly tangie orientated readership so I faced a bit of a challenge and am happy for any headway I made in this respect!  Thanks for the review and star.

*Rubbing hands together* Now it's getting GOOD!!!!!

So that is how Caleb was turned. Excellent back story!!! I really enjoyed reading it. 



Author's Response: Yep we finally start getting to the point hahaha.  That is how Caleb turned there are many other complexities to the story but those will be revealed later.  Glad you liked the back story hope you enjoy learning about Todd's and Esmerelda's as well.  Thanks for reading and the stars!

John crochet with his mother and her friends at 13, LMAO!!!!

Great insight into Caleb and why he is the way he is. 



Author's Response: Isn't that awesome hahaha, I love this idea of a young John/Michael Easton who gives off this dark, brooding thing crocheting with his mom.  Glad you like the Caleb backstory, it was a long process but I finally got it to where I wanted it to be.  Thanks for the review and the stars and for reading!

Title: Chapter 20

God, there was so much to love in this chapter. The mythology was fabulous, I loved the backstory of Lilitu, it was so lyrical, and beautifully written. And it also gave Caleb even more layers, he's damn complex, something I think Evangeline is starting to realize too.

So these two chapters were awesome. Period. And I'm so glad you updated the story, I'm very much looking forward to what comes next. :)

Oh, and I do miss Yul. No pressure though.



Author's Response:

Thank you, the mythology of Lilitu is based on an actual epic poem from that time period I just put my own story line driven twist on it but I can't take full credit I must admit.  I did truly aim to add many layers to Caleb I knew he wasn't a fan favorite so I really wanted to reveal more of him to the reader.  Evangeline will have some difficult choices to make.

Update will come more quickly I've already gotten a good portion of it written out so it won't be a month span again.  And Yul is lurking around never fear!

Title: Chapter 20

Nice.  Loved all the mythology behind the vampire clans.  Mahdokht was very cool and girl you put the magic word in there.  "Lilith."  (Please, please?) Anyhoo, so the plot thickens and we've got a clue as to what might go on in Llanview.  An army of the dead eh? Nice.  Great update, and waiting for more. 

Author's Response: Thanks!  I worked really hard on hammering out the mythology combining real life folk lore with my own made up stuff.  Mahdokht is a very interesting vampire, and in upcoming chapters you will see her role more clearly and how she mentored Caleb for a specific purpose.  So yeah the point finally emerges, it only took 20 chapters hahahaha.  Battle lines are going to be drawn and Evangeline is going to have to decide whether she is going to stand on the sidelines or pick a side and by the time Todd's story is revealed her choice won't get easier.  Thanks for the review and stars!

Title: Chapter 19

Tell me more Caleb. Of course I'm so excited that Todd's story is coming up! I don't know how Evangeline is going to resist these two sexy men...or is she?

Good update, don't make me wait so long for the next one. :)



Author's Response: Hmmm, will she be able to resist these two sexy men that is the million dollar question hahaha.  I'm glad you liked Caleb's story and I am enjoying writing Todd's because it's a very different journey for him, he's about a couple hundred years older than Caleb at least so I look forward to writing the historical angle.  Thanks for reading and reviewing and sticking with me through the long hiatus I intend to update much more quickly!

Title: Chapter 19

Well you know I loved this backstory section.  Like how we got a peek into Evangeline's head here as well.  Caleb and John's interactions were very real and I love the moment Caleb discovered his father's secret life. Great, great writing.

Author's Response: Thank you BlackMa, for reading, reviewing and your encouragement when I was hitting a brick wall, can't say that enough.  Evangeline is going to have a lot to consider when all is said and done I think.  I had fun writing John and Caleb's interaction because I really wanted to use that as an opportunity to contrast them and distinguish Caleb as his own man with an interesting history.  And I enjoyed writing another slayer scene!

Title: Chapter 19

So I told myself when I saw your update that I would wait until I got home to read, because I get distracted at work. But damn, I missed this story so much and couldn't help taking a peek. And then I read this whole chapter.

This was so great, I mean...amazing. I loved Caleb's backstory and how it brought his character into focus for me. The stuff with his dad was my favorite, and John of course. And by the way, I laughed at loud at the crochet comment, damn that was funny. And you closed with a killer last line, I want to read the next one now, but I know I should wait. Do some actual work for a while..

Did I mention I missed this story?  I really, really did. :)



Author's Response: You know what I missed this story in a way as well, it was really good to have a breakthrough that allowed me to take to the next level.  It WAS really important to bring Caleb into focus for the reader and really separate him from John so I'm glad to read that I made some movement in that direction.  And yes the idea of little John crocheting with mama kind of cracked me up a bit so I'm glad you liked that!  Thanks for reading and leaving a review.

Title: Chapter 18

Damn, I don't where to begin. I loved this update, especially all the vampy goodness. I didn't want it to end.

My faves included the Evangeline/Ben scene, I loved that she let him drink from her neck. So hard core.

I liked Todd's jelously, and Yul's amusment of it. Happy that  Esmerelda and Dmitiri are back, they're so damn entertaining.

And Gabriella  screams trouble, wonder what she's got up her sleeve.

GreatO, I waited patiently for an update and you didn't dissapoint. Great job, I can't wait for the next chapter.



Author's Response:

I glad you loved it TBG!  I felt like I really wanted to capture them in their element but also show that even though their vampires they still have the same issues and hangups as humans hahaha.

Yeah Van is pretty hard core and Ben is a cutie.  Funny sidenote, I was inspired by a scene in I think it was sixteen candles where the molly ringwald character hangs out with the nerd and throws him a bone to impress all his geeky friends.  Isn't it crazy where you can draw inspiration from!

Yea it was fun to bring back Esmerelda and Dmitiri they are such evil goodness.  Yul is great, such the observer and Todd well. . .somethings never change I guess. . .

Gabriella, she's a wildcard.  A woman scorned is a dangerous woman indeed and I think she's going to be very conflicted when things come to a head.  Though who can't relate to overinvesting in people and being upset when you get no return.

First off, over the moon that you updated.  Second, loved Van's exchange with the young buck.  You mentioned Lilith which makes me happy.  And Todd is hot.  That is all. Great chapter.



Author's Response: Yeah I know the updates can be slow coming but I'm pushing through!  I had fun writing the Ben/Van scene so I'm glad you enjoyed it.  I had to give a shoutout to Lilth those Atalantans gotta stick together hahaha.  Todd is always hot, even when he's brooding.

John with Natalie? John killed? Ummm....

LOL! You got skills girl I'll give you that! This story looks like it will rock! I think I'm going to go take a midol! LOL! Great work.  



Author's Response: I think I may have lost a few Jovanners with that decision hahaha.  But I can't lie I'm bitter about the way things went down and John well, he had to go.  But I do think Caleb will bring some of that Jovan vibe hopefully he'll get a chance to prove himself. . .

Title: Chapter 2

Wow that was really intense and very visual. Not since my Buffy days have I seen such girl power. Great that a character like Eva is used this way. Fascinating story of Layla and her life that was abruptly changed in trinidad (mother is from trinidad, so I'm biased). All in all this looks like a fantastic ride.

Author's Response: Funny you mention buffy because that scene was somewhat inspired by a scene where Buffy and Faith are jacking up vampires left and right hahaha.  I tried to capture the energy of that scene so I'm very happy to hear that comparison.  I enjoy writing Layla in this story she is so hardcore, can't wait til we see her again.  And I do have a soft spot for the Trinis so I had to give them some dap hahaha.

Title: Chapter 16

As you know I love this story, but I am pulling for her to choose Todd.  I truly hate John at this point. (I can not believe they are pairing him with Blair.) I know it is about Caleb, but he is John's twin brother. I hope you will reconsider and let Todd and Evangeline be together.  I am going to still be reading this story, because it is excellent.  Keep up the good work.

Voting for Evangeline to choose Todd.



Author's Response:

Oh Safetygirl, you know where my allegiances lie under normal circumstances but hopefully you'll come to think of Caleb as separate from John they are completely different and you'll see that a little more as you keep reading.

For the record Caleb and Evangeline are not a lock to be the end game, she is connected to both of these *men* in very different ways but at the same time she is as repulsed by the both of them.  You will see her very conflicted about where her heart is, including when it comes to Hugh.  I can't spoil the ending but I do hope you keep reading, and I'm glad you are enjoying the story thus far.
