Hunted Chapter 24
As with so many of PCK’s chapters, we begin right where we left off. Stark is in her room and Zoey is being stupid about it. Luckily Van Helsing was in the neighborhood and pins Stark to the wall with … Continue reading

Hunted Chapter 17
One of those things that’s hard in writing is trying not to come up with descriptions that are self contradicting. I don’t mean things like “hot and cold”, I mean saying one thing and immediately contradicting it with a follow … Continue reading

Matched Chapter 19
Cassia is back on the bus which is really the most boring place to start no matter who you are. That’s why even Speed, a movie about a bus laden with explosives, began with an elevator. Busses are like the … Continue reading

Matched Chapter 8
Well, we’re a quarter of the way in and nothing has happened. There’s s totalitarian society, nobody seems to mind it all that much and Cassia is duller than a bar of soap. As far as our current protagonist’s predicaments, … Continue reading
Betrayed Chapter 4
Since PCK introduced the third point in the love triangle, or at least I assume so, I’d like to talk about adults and teens for a bit. The reason that scene with Loren is so creepy is because he’s an … Continue reading
