Thank you. It's an incredible compliment to have such a great Author love my review. I don't know if you've seen, but I don't really write long reviews...Your series is the first that I felt compelled to really expound on, especially since it had me thinking of it so much. Is it wrong of me to be upset that your series isn't in the TOP spot on best dark reads? I just tell myself that maybe readers haven't grasped the entire concept of these books. That they read them and enjoyed them, but didn't get all the reference and symbolism to the deeper, darker nature of what's true in your fiction. Reading for enjoyment is fun, but reading and being enlightened to what's going on between the lines is the difference between a good book and a GREAT book. I'm simply on pins and needles waiting for the next installment. I have a feeling that time is going to pass quickly for Anna while she's on drugs. That her special powers are dulled and she won't find what's missing for a long time. I just don't believe Alex is dead. The only one who could find him and heal him is Anna, but it's going to be awhile before that happens...if it ever does? I could be totally wrong in this perspective, but I don't think I am. Oh, the pain of having to wait and find out. I'd like to dig around inside your brain and find my answers...lol
Not too many people dig deep in this sort of book, but I am having a great response to it. If you'd like, and if you're dad is ok with it, there is a discussion/support closed group on Facebook where you can commiserate and share your insights with other readers. My beta readers loved your thoughts. I also posted Chapter 1 of Book 4 in there yesterday ;)
Oh, my dad let me use his name and info to create the sight, but in all other intents and purposes, it's mine!!
OMG!!! How do I get into that group? If it's closed go I just submit a request? I CAN'T wait to get my hands on that first chapter. I'd love to share my insights with the others and see what they're saying as well. I can't begin to tell you how flattered I am that you shared my thoughts with your beta readers, and that they loved them puts a big cherry on top. I'm actually from Arizona, but moved back to Cali to work on my master's degree (if I was still living in Chandler, I'd be stalking you to be part of your Beta group). Even though I study science, it's always been a dream of mine to be part of a beta group. I wonder how many readers remember that Vitaly was mentioned once, at the beginning of Enslaved? I pay close attention to names while reading books, especially books in a series, because their mentioned with purpose...especially if you never hear the name again. Your book is loaded with characters, more so than your average book. Remembering the characters' names and committing them to memory is key to most stories, and is especially true with these book.
I know I keep saying it, but I'm just so flattered that my new favorite author, you, has shared my insights with her special group of readers and that they love them, as much as you do. I can't wait to share with this group on FB and get their feedback. I'm so happy that you're having a great response to your books. I hope more and more readers will pick up that first copy of Enslaved, and really dig into it and want more. Since I don't want to start another book, I'm going to be going back to Enslaved and reading the series over again. A second read through never hurts and I want to make sure I'm prepared when book 4 comes out. Who am I kidding...there's no way I'm going to be able to hold off until the whole series is out. I'm as connected to these books as Anna is connected to Alex. I hope these drugs Devin put her on backfires on him terribly. Maybe he'll give her something that'll make her remember her dreams, or tap into her power? There's so many ways this could go. Anna even said she would feel doubly worse when the drugs wore off, that the pain was greater after the drugs lost effect, than it was before she took them. I can hardly wait to see what points I got right and what points I was way off on. I'm requesting to join that group right now.
Please keep in touch. I just love hearing feedback on my review, from you, your beta readers and hopefully the support group.
Posting that picture from Sherlock Holmes was brilliant. I'm hoping one of the members of the group did that. That would mean they are grasping that these elite groups are real and date back centuries. I just get so excited when talking about these books, I really do.
