yeah, i'd say lori is definitely going to be biting into that one. she will be even more suspicious since everything else that has been going on. does she even know how stan got the new doctor? this is definitely going to be interesting. easy to read and follow. no spaggies. imagery is excellent.
love,
barbara

NightWriter, I read this ealrier last week and forgot to rate it. I cannot tell you why. I must have gotten distracted. Yes, alot of things going on. Loved it. The plot thickens. I can't say I approve of Stan's infidelity and Brookes coyness, but hey,,, that is the story and well worth the read. Suppose that means I am really into these characters. very well done..I wonder what kind of tangled web is being weaved...jimi

Some things really don't work at all..eventhough you'll think it's worth as your life!

Love much

Hey, you can't blame the guy--first he is a vampire-so, and then of course he's already tasted her..LOL. I thoroughly enjoyed this segment. Good to see bad boys come in all shapes and genus. Very well written, carried the reader's attention from start to end without a halt. No nits, looking forward to your next segment. Lora

    Wow! You remembered! Yes, how could he resist her when she was so tempting. I've thought about going back and re-writing the seduction scene to where Brook scratches or makes a small cut in her neck to drive Stan beyond control and into madness, LOL. Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

This is so wonderful and the romantic venture with the ghost and vampires, and I love the dialogue with the characters, perfectly written, can not wait to read more.

    I'm so glad you found this story and thrilled you loved the dialogue and characters. It is my wish to turn this into a screenplay one day, then either a movie or series or both. At least I can wish this, but it's also a goal I'm working toward, LOL. Thank you so much for your encouraging review.

This is a very good story chapter told here...

It has good wording content a great chapter and besides vampires, it also has a ghost...

A perfect story wording content to make the hair stand on end. I could feel the story's picture as I went reading line per line...

Good as written and thanks for sharing this one with us...MOuntainstar2..

Hi Steve, great chapter. The excorcism should be interesting to say the least. I'm not liking Stan right now regarding Brook, he's acting like a sleazeball and not the Stan we know. I hope Lori busts him...now that would be interesting..lol. I look forward to the next chapter

He brought his lips against hers (and they kissed).
(not needed, the first part tells us they kissed)

The halls were dark (and)quiet at quarter past two in the morning.
(This is an opportunity to get rid of the word (and) and tighten the writing. Consider: At quarter past two in the morning the dark halls were quiet.)

Lori (was watching) TV while Brook looked fast asleep.
(passive, consider: Lori watched TV)

    Thank you so much Cassandra for your thoughtful and helpful review. You are a good editor, slicing off words at every opportunity. I watch for the passive voice more thanks to you, but the gremlins still sneak through, LOL.

    Have you ever tried this web site to promote your writing? http://www.wordhustler.com/
    I just learned about it from another person here on FanStory and it looks like it could be helpful in marketing our stories. Just wondering what your experience/thoughts were.

    Thanks again!

    You're welcome, Steve. No I've never heard of that site, but I will check it out. I'm past the halfway point of editing my first novel. Can't wait to finish! so I can get my queries out. I'll let you know what I think

Good day to you NightWriter
Now between Stan been busy with Lori and Brooke,plus Linda's ghost apprearing you have a great chapter.

I'm a bit worried about Stan's over lust for both of the women, especially Brooke.

    Thank you so much Gert. This opens up new areas for discovery with Stan, such as do vampires/aliens feel guilt, remorse, love and I think you already know that answer, LOL.
