Host Chapter Eight
So why does this ‘Seeker’ not have a name? I mean, logically she should have a name. Otis isn’t in the habit of not naming characters, even when they’re the kind of name you’d expect from someone who attends daycare, … Continue reading
Host Chapter Seven
I love starting off with a bit of retard fuel. Otis introduces us to yet another one of these stupid faux Indian names. Faces Sunward has a question. Yes and Takes Break has one as well as Stop Writing who … Continue reading
Host Chapter Six
The light was finally fading outside the windows. The day, hot for March, had lingered on and on, as if reluctant to end and set me free. Oh yes. Because it’s the day’s fault that you’re trapped in hell. Not … Continue reading

Are we there yet & Chained
Are we there yet? I’m sure loving this estranged relationship with Edward. We keep bantering back and forth like a couple of preadolescents. I know that might bore some people to hear about. All the ‘I like you, do you … Continue reading
Host Chapter One
You know, in spite of having actual copies of these books to go over, I never trust them. In every book I’ve read by Otis there comes a moment where I don’t believe what I’m reading. I think that this … Continue reading
