Compelling chapter. This is not a genre that I often read -- yet I know it is a very popular one. Also I know there are realms that I have not encountered. I may have asked you before -- do you follow Anne Rice on Facebook? She often gives encouragement to new writers. Also shares much about herself.

    Thank you, Jean and no, I haven't heard of Ann Rice. You know I have a posted chapter that's $1.20. The one you just read is only two cents.

    2 cents in FS money. Much higher in my value system.:-)

Karl's eyelids. . . Since Detectives. . . delete 'that'.

Read through and delete any 'that's' in sentences. If it reads just as good without the 'that', delete it.

Suggest change: Karl's sister-in-law. . . waited patiently

Ward told. . . Jessie,
He told. . . its (no apostrophe)
Overuse of 'told' in paragraph.

An editor told me to avoid using semi-colons. Change them to commas.
In a series of words, phrases, and clauses, put a comma before the last 'and'.

Good chapter.

Jewel did her little hypnosis on the manager, and Ward got into Karl's apartment to collect several personal items for Jewel's next bit of magic that hopefully will catch Jesse to bring Karl back from near death.
I thought he needed Jesse's personal things for Jewel's locator spell, but Ward keeps wanting into Karl's apartment. I was a little confused as to why he wanted Ward's things.

    "First, let?s find Jessie. I can cast a locator spell. Is there any way you can get me something that belongs to him: a hair brush, sock, shirt, anything?"

    "I know where he lived, but don't know if I can get into his apartment without his key. I'm not a relative, so I don't think the manager will let me in."
    It was Jessie's apartment, but Ward lied and said he needed to get into Jessie's apartment to get some things that his nephew Karl had left in the apartment. But Karl left nothing in Jessie's apartment. Those things Ward took belong to Jessie.
    Okay? Thank you for reviewing and sorry you got confused.

Very clever. She put a spell on the manager! LOL! Thanks for adding the synopsis. It did the trick and now I remember what was going on much better. And I hope you don't let Karl die. :)

    Thanks, Phyllis. At the end of the synopsis I had put, Phyllis made me write this, with a " laughing out loud symbol", but I wasn't sure if you'd think it was funny. So I removed it at the last minute of posting. LOL Oh and for Karl, well he's pretty banged up, but we'll see. I haven't read you yet because they made a mistake and blocked me from the site since yesterday. Something about my credit card company not notifying them or something. Anyway, I'm back.

    You could have put my name in. LOL! I wouldn't care. I have a sense of humor. :)

A good chapter, Ama. It had been a while since I read your last chapter, so the synopsis does help. We saw a different side of Ward this time. Less confident and in control as he was when he was with Karl and Jessie.

People were basically very health conscious [very health-conscious]

. A fat chubby man opened it [Suggest you choose "fat" or "chubby" but not both. They are almost synonymous. ]

Hahaha! That Jewel is something else!

    Thanks Jay. Already corrected 'fat and chubby' due to an earlier review. But will correct health-conscious. That was Phyllis' idea about the synopsis.
