Hello Yvette. I guess I'm falling behind on my review work. I'm writing some new stuff but also not spending a lot of time at my computer means that I have to read most of the stuff on my 5 1/2 inch phone. I can't stand use my phone as a reader so it's taken me longer to get it done some days. I understand the story. I got through it and understood everything but what a woodland fairy is. Z

    LOL! Thanx for taking the time on this one, Z, and just go with 'fairy' and you'll be fine -- the woodland part is only where they 'inhabit'... .:) :) Take care and forgive my tardiness, sir -- life's been a bit nutty for the blonde!! ;) ;) Yvette

This was a great novel installment as it could stand alone well. It was simple to read and follow along. Good notes and references. Good narration mixed with dialogue. Excellent. Keep up the nice work :)

Fascinating! I'm not into werewolves et al, although back in the day I used to enjoy Anne Rice's vampires.
Your Gregor, though, is quite a character. His animal nature is barely under control in this chapter. Love his ripping off the top of the water bottle. Looking forward to the development of the storyline. You're a fine writer, Yvette.

Blessings Julia

    Oh, Julia -- so glad you enjoyed. And, yes, that's exactly what I was trying to do (well, from the beginning, actually) is to set them apart from the humans among whom they have to live now... ;) :) Thanx so much for your support, ma'am -- and glad to have you on-board! ;) Yvette

A very interesting episode, it takes some adjusting to the language of this story, having read quite a bit of science fantasy gives me a look in to this sort of story anyway. But this is very interesting Yvette, I'm presuming that Gregor has a "thing" for Celeste. Looking forward to more my friend, blessings Roy

    Thanx for the wonderful comments, Roy, and I'm so thankful that you're on-board for the ride -- and, yeah, definitely a thing (if you have time, go back and check out chapters 1 and 2... :) :) Thanx for your review and take care down/over there! ;) Yvette

You've hinted at some areas from whence trouble is coming as the sparks, I'm sure, will continue flying. I think both sides of their families, like with Romeo and Juliet, are going to protest. I can't help being intrigued by the offspring possibilities of such a pair! This is another super chapter, Yvette!

Hi Yvette, this is a great continuation. I had to think a bit, because it's such a long time since you posted last. So Gregor is going to confide in Andre? Gregor needs a good friend and I only hope that Andre is just that. Warm regards. Ulla:)))

    Yeah, sorry about the delay -- trying to find my 'pen saavy' again... I think it took a summer vacation and didn't make it all the way back! ;) But, I am determination to keep it here and happy from now on! :) Thanx for the review, Ulla -- always so good to hear from you! ;) Take care! ;) Yvette

You, my dear Yvette, are more direct with your wording. I know the feelings Gregor is going through and it sucks to be left high and not dry. It is a very interesting story. I read your other two, but I may go back for a review to see if I missed anything. :) I'm glad Gregor has a friend in Andre. It appears that he will need one. Thank you for sharing your fairy story. :)

    Sometimes, direct works best, yeah?! ;) :) And, it certainly seems to have gotten the message across over there ... :) So glad you're enjoying, Jose -- and, yeah, Gregor and Andre have an unbreakable friendship bond! ;) Thanx for stopping by, sir, and take care! ;) :)

Hmmm. I feel like I just got out of an advanced class for the heightened understanding of the mating habits of woodland creatures. Who knew such things were studied? But, that it's so easily understood that it's a bit scary. What is it, I wonder, that raises us (mankind) above the baser instincts common to all living creatures. This is probably far off base from what you've penned here. However, I did find myself reflecting on it in a philosophical (or is that metaphysical) way. :) Loren

    LOL! You're too funny sir!! ;) :) Naaah... no classes needed... and, yeah, I did try to show the 'animal' nature that makes these different from 'everyday folks'.... not one to write about 'otherwordly' things and make them behave exactly as humans -- can you say 'teenage werewolf' and other nonsense?LOL! ;) Nope, these are 'animals' and they shall not behave as humans... ;) :) I'm really trying to get my pen back into the groove....don't know what's draggin' me down lately! It doesn't help that the weather's cooling down (fast! too fast!)...LOL! ;) But I do so appreciate your words, Loren, but more than that, I appreciate your support, sir -- thank you!! ;) :) Take care over there! ;) Yvette

I'll deduct 6 if you keep me waiting this long again!!!! I had to quickly nip back to jog my memory. This is too good a story to give us a chapter every three months!! What am I to do with you, Yvette? You have two best-sellers going on here, my other favourite the, 'garden shed' one, and this one.

Gregor is going to confide in his best friend, Andre, isn't he? I hope he really is his best friend. How will Gregor and Celeste manage to keep this a secret for each of their respective tribes/clans? It's such a beautiful love story, and I'm really rooting for them. I look forward to the next part that is coming SHORTLY. :)) Well done, my friend. You are surely a brilliant storyteller. Sandra xxx

    You are too wonderful, Sandra -- I'm really trying to get my pen back into the groove....don't know what's draggin' me down lately! It doesn't help that the weather's cooling down (fast! too fast!)...LOL! ;) But I do so appreciate your words and I'm glad you're liking this one.... gonna try to 'shorten' this book from my original vision, I think, but I'll kinda play it by ear since I've got a month between chapters! ;) :) LOL! And, yes, I promise to do better.... for me as well as for my few fans!! ;) :) Thank you again for your wonderful support... take care over there!! ;) :) Yvette

Hi Yvette. This is the first chapter I've read in your book. Your writing is clear and interesting. Words are well put together for an enjoyable read. I like the colored font, which I tend to use also. Author's notes and helpful. Marilyn

    Thanx for the review, Marilyn -- I appreciate your giving this one a 'look-see' even though I'm sure you're probably wondering what in the world is going on... :) ;) Yvette
