Midnight Sun Chapter 1 Part 2

Midnight Sun Chapter 1 Part 1
Yeah, you read that right. This chapter sucks enough to be split apart. This chapter is called ‘first sight’. Well, thank goodness this is a first draft. That way there’s no crappy dedication, acknowledgements or a preface that gives us … Continue reading

Bree Part 14
So in between all the recaps I had a moment of clarity. See, Otis never mentioned exactly how big a deal fire was for the vampires. It was kind of hinted at but never once did she make it out … Continue reading
