Daisy’s comments from the My Sibling The Mythical Being! group.

Yeeeees! Good job. :)

Yes. Thought it'd take you longer than that!

I'm thinking of a character who got married during the MSTV series and is reportedly very stylish. ;)

Haha that's a great quote! Was it Daniel?

WHAT?! This is hard! I'm going to guess Justin... maybe Riley bullied him into it?

C. Carter (pretty sure this is Riley's surname from MBTW)

Oh yeah I sort of remember her saying she would try harder. Oh actually maybe she also said that being at Wallachia did help a bit or something... I don't know. Maybe I'll reread the eleventh and twelth books to find out. ;) I'm pretty sure she went there to learn to control her powers but I guess being away from humans is an added bonus.

So you guys, I was wondering about the whole storyline from Twin Spins (MSTV #9) to Flying Solo (MSTV #11) about Ivy's strengthened powers. That was the whole reason she went to Wallachia Academy, but I don't remember what happened with her powers when she came back. I mean, at one point she was bent over in agony because of a super loud noise that turned out just to be Olivia's mum squealing at the cuteness of the ducks! They can't have just gone by magic, right? Just wondering if it was ever explained....

A. Audrey (Olivia's mum's name)

Okaaay, this is kinda vague. I think I remember one of the twins doing this when they broke into ASHH in Revamped (MSTV #3). So is it... Olivia?

Haha, Justin would be like who the hell have I hired if all you did is get him to run around the pitch!

Ooh, those both sound really freaky! I think vampire hunting in a graveyard is less so though. And hopefully they'd be nice vampires like the ones in MSTV.

WYR be Serena Star's personal assistant (from Fangtastic {MSTV #2}) or go through the Gauntlet at night in Wallachia Academy?

Sure, you'd probably like it. It's really quick and it's an interesting read. :)

I think there was something in an earlier book about their dad showing favouritism for Daniel because he's the wolf, but I don't think it was much of a big thing. It would be good if it was a proper storyline in this book. I know right, their mum must've had like five lines in all four books - if that. Yeah, she likes music, like Daniel.

Oh, so you're saying they might've interacted but just we didn't see it? I hope so - that would have been nice of Winifred. Hopefully she told Emma about the kumquat juice that stops them turning into wolves, since she-wolves are supposed to have stronger abilities than male werewolves. I guess since Emma's been a wolf for years she might already know about it, though.

I don't know if the crossovers should get to the level where you have to read both series to understand it - then MBTW readers would have to read 17 books of MSTV to get it! I definitely agree there should be more though! I think a MBTW appearance in MSTV would be cool to do next, since the only one so far was MSTV characters in a MBTW book. I really want vampires to discover werewolves or for it to be revealed that they already know!

Yesss, Brendan and Jackson interaction would be awesome! I love it when they joke with eachother and stuff, so would definitely like to see more of that in this book.

Lol, sounds like a rollercoaster of a quest. ;) I think you're right about ASHH releasing the info. Nice to know that Sienna Mercer explained that though.

In the scene in this book when Ivy and Olivia switch (I think for the first time?) so that Ivy can secretly have lunch with Charlotte, Olivia goes to the library and reads a book which she later tells Brendan about:

Her period in the library had flown by. At first, Olivia had been annoyed that she'd forgotten to bring Thrice Bitten, the latest Count Vira book, with her. But then she'd remembered reading about an old French short story that, according to what she'd seen on a vampire fiction fansite, was one of the first vampire stories ever written. She'd decided to see if they had it.
"The Horla and Other Stories of Guy de Maupassant. It looks like this isn't the first time you've checked this book out, Ivy." the librarian had said when she'd looked at the computer screen.
Olivia had shrugged silently, as she thought Ivy might, had taken the book and started reading . . .
The story had been so awesome that, before Olivia knew it, the bell had rung for the end of lunch.

And this is where she tells Brendan:

He glanced at the cover of her book. "Looks interesting," he said, holding it out to her.
She knew she should just take the book and go, but it really was something that more people should read. "It is. The Horla's about this guy who thinks he's being stalked by a vampire. It, uh, really sucks."
"Yeah?" the boy [Brendan] said, clearly intrigued.
"Yeah. It's all told in diary entries, and this guy doesn't know if he's going crazy or what," explained Olivia.

Then later on Olivia and Ivy mention it again, at Ivy's house:

Olivia turned round, and noticed some words written in big black calligraphy on the stones that ran down the side of the stairway: "The matter is that I never get any rest, and my nights devour my days."
"That is so weird," she murmured. "That's from my Guy de Maupassant story I read in the library today. I even told Brendan to read it!"
"The Horla?" Ivy responded. "It sucks, doesn't it?"
"That's exactly what I told him," grinned Olivia.

I turns out The Horla is actually a real short story, and I just recently read it. It was a really fun and creepy read, it's really short and I loved the writing style, so I can see why Olivia got addicted to it! To me it didn't really feel like a vampire story - the monster was more of a hypnotising, invisible ghost-alien thing, so that was kind of weird. Apparently though it is described as a "species of vampire" at one point. (I don't remember this in the story but this line was referenced in an online summary I read)

Have any of you guys ever heard of The Horla? If you have, what did you think of it? Do you agree with what Olivia and Ivy said about it?

Yeees! I really hoped you were going to guess D, lol.

That's a good one!

Y. Yum (Ivy said this in Love Bites {MSTV #6} at the sight of a huge breakfast that had been laid out for them)

It is a vegetable. :)

"Tonight is just a little dinner for thirty."

Yeah... I'm pretty sure it was Justin. Can't exactly remember but I think you're right. Well done! :D
