Revealed Chapter 2
One of the things that’s driven me nuts through the series, and will continue to do so for the remainder, is the perspective change. Not the regular hopping back and forth, that’s something I can tolerate when it’s done right. … Continue reading

Revealed Prologue
Of course there are the usual acknowledgments where PCK “hearts” her publisher. Are you an eleven year old harpy, pretending to be human? Because that goddamned affectation of yours is as obnoxious as calling it “brown pop”. That’s the kind … Continue reading

Awakened Chapters 5 & 6
Chapter 5 Of all the characters in the series, Stevie is the closest to a real person. She’s considered the leader of the undeadlings but not by choice of god or author. She has a limited power, earth, which is … Continue reading

Tempted Chapters 20 & 21

Untamed Chapter 12
Here’s an in universe question for PCK. Hasn’t anyone else noticed that all sorts of things have started happening since Zoey appeared? Think about it, here they are just going around being vampiric, wearing black, reading sad poetry by the … Continue reading

Since the beginning of this series, there’s been a very strange undertone. It’s one I’ve been dancing around and wondering if it was just shadows in the corner of my mental eye. Not the vampires are better than people, that’s … Continue reading
Betrayed Chapter 23
So last chapter had Stevie’s death scene and Zoey didn’t really react to it. She did cry towards the end and she said she drew strength from her friends standing close to her but it’s pretty sparse. Which is to … Continue reading
Betrayed Chapter 22
So I’ve been thinking back on Zoey’s “Vampyre Sociology 415 text” mentioned back in chapter 18. It seemed to have the basics a new vampire would need to know kind of like the Handbook of the Dead in Beetlejuice. So … Continue reading
Marked Chapter 25
