GOD, I'm already looking forward to the next chapter!

I need mooore!

It's very well written :)

[watch_yer_back]

Thank you!

Working on the next chapter. =) The funny thing is I missed writing Leyline too (and writing, period), and I didn't even realize it until I was working on it.

Love it so much ♥

I was especially glad to see Ivy's POV, not everyone can pull it off, but you did it :)

I really can't wait for the next chapter :P

[watch_yer_back]

Woohoo, thank you! Writing Ivy's POV took the most work in this chapter, and I was really worried that it wouldn't come out right. My beta helped me a lot with that one.

I promise that the next update will take nowhere near as long as this. =)

Cliffhanger's are such useful but evil things, aren't they? :P

Great chapter and lovely writing, as usual. Looking forward to the rest of this!

[watch_yer_back]

Oh absolutely. ;) I tried writing this without a cliffy, but the next scene fit much better in the next chapter.

Happy to hear that, thanks!

GAaahh, I love your writing style, but I can't stand the cliffhangers...absolute genius, but evil genius nonetheless :) I can't tell you how many times I've re-read the first 3 chapters you'd posted anxiously waiting for an update, and boy, what an update! You capture Ivy's emotions so well and you've made Rachel more introspective, allowing her to acknowledge her selfishness and finally admitting her love for Ivy. This story is made of so much WIN!, especially since K.H. seems bound and determined to prevent Ivy/Rachel from having a 'happily ever after.'

I can't wait for the next chapter!

[watch_yer_back]

LOL Is it wrong for me to like being called an "evil genius"? Really happy that you think I got Ivy and Rachel right - I was worried about writing Ivy's part most of all. I'm sorry this update took so long. The next one will be out much sooner.

Speaking of KH, the next Hollows book is coming out soon, right? I worry about what she's going to do to Ivy/Rachel next. :P

NO GODDAMN FAIR! You can't stop it there!? I need more! *starts to cry

Getting a review like this is just...wow! =D You got it all, really, and that makes me feel like I did a pretty decent job on this chapter.

I also liked that you gave Jenks that fatherly personnality and really delved into the instincts that we all know he has in the books, but that's never exactly fully depicted

Exactly! Jenks is a dad to dozens of kids, and we saw how he handled Jax and how he deals with Rachel. He's usually protective of Rachel and mistrustful of Ivy, specially in the early books, but he can also be very objective and blunt. I wanted some of that in this chapter.

And it's so goddamn adorable how Rachel becomes all defensive when she learns that there's a chance that the vampire had finally gotten over her.

That was so much fun to write! It's like we're always waiting for Rachel to come to her senses. But in RL, how long would a smart, beautiful woman keep banging her head against a wall before trying to move on?

No matter what situation Rachel's in, she always manages to make extremely weird decisions based
