So Vicki and I have decided that Solange's theme song should be "Stay With Me" by Shakespeare's Sister. How perfect is it? So now you guys know. Hunter/JJ did not kill/break the Changeling. His twunt wife Solange did it. And he didn't consent to it. She tricked him. And ouch, Hunter was sized down.
Hate Warren much? He mindfucked THE WHOLE TROOP to hide the identity of Jaden Jacks. Why? How does this serve the troop? And when will they figure this out and turn on his arrogant ass?
How heartbreaking was his childhood scene? So tell me, does it make you love him/hate Hunter more or less? Understand his actions? Have your feelings towards CoS changed?

Love Hunter more than evah. That's not changed. Solange? DIE, BITCH, DIE; that hasn't changed. I kinda understand why Warren went off on Hunter at the end of CoS~I'm not saying it's right, just I understand that he felt betrayed again by Hunter with another shadow agent and Solange. And I'm not saying what Hunter/JJ did was right either, hooking up with the crazy bitch behind everyone's back. But I understand it. And I think he wanted to find Solange in CoS to try to find Lola not so much the crazy bitch.
And I believe Hunter was sized down twice. Double ouch!
There was mind-fucking going on all over the place here. And poor Hunter was on the receiving end of it all. So good! And I'm happy to say that I'm happy I never doubted my boy Hunter. ;D ;D
When's the next book? lol

I really loved this antho. I love Hunter/JJ even more than I used to. It was so nice to finally see how he became who he is and why he acted he way he did in CoS. I loathe both that twunt Solange and that evil bastard Warren. Manipulative, back-stabbing sociopaths... I hates them.
Question: What Tonya's prediction really about Solange or Jo? Did Hunter realize that Jo might be the one who was meant for him and not Uber-Bitch? Oh and that little mention to Warren that "she still loves him and will come back?" Was she talking about Zoe?

I am a very happy reader tonight.... at least until Cheat the Grave comes out and tears us up again LOL (assuming evil author is still evil LOL)

Yay! So glad you guys enjoyed it.
This one was sooooo hard to keep mum about. I'm thrilled it's finally out there and you all now know the "real" story. ;-)

^Ditto what the evil author said. I knew the short would explain so much. I'm glad it came right on the heels of CoS. I wish there was a little ad in the back of CoS about it because they tie in together so tightly and not all readers will know about it and they should.
Not only was this the best antho ever, but this is Vicki's best short ever. She packed so much into such a small space it was amazing!

^so are you back on or did you step off Team Hunter, Debi? I am kind of ambivalent about Hunter....In COS I was sore pissed at him for sleeping with Jolivia when Solange was still obviously on his mind. I see the situation a bit more clearly...felt very sorry for his childhood ordeal, but still get a niggling sense that all is not right with either Hunter/JJ or Warren, that shit.

^ yes that's true If everything was right with Hunter of course that would make a lot of us freakishly happy and being the evil author that she is, she can't have that! lol I'm very interested to know where the story is going with Warren; I like him less and less with each book.

OK so when Lola grows up. will she be a karos too? Is that possible or will she have to kill Jolivia to be it?" Very good story, I think Warren's days may be numbered, I see an early retirement or possible death in his future.
