I think/pray at this point that the change might be when she finally meets her brother. Not to say he is any more special than Ash or the sister she already knows about. But I really feel there is some reason why SK is keeping them a part for now. So there is something that has to be seriously in the works. Most especially as her brother is married to and has a child with one of the Dimme. Which shouldn't have even happened in the first place. So time will tell indeed.

A Simi book would be great. She is a great character. Her book could give some background on her in a chapter or two, then current stuff, and then age her. Her book could almost be used to wrap up the series since she is so tied to Acheron, who is basically tied to most everyone.

Is Nim the one that Simi gave a cooler toy to carry in the last Dream Hunter book?

I doubt the series be wrapped up with Simi's book unless it comes at the end of the 4th arc. And then that arc would definitely have to be demon related I believe. But I think SK might do it somewhere in the third arc so that Simi is still gradually aging over a stretch of time and she can still get in a few moments now of Simi being a "teen". Who knows how we will feel about her once SK grows her up and even what it could mean.
that be awsome to see throw simi eyes what happen & stuff!!!!
Hi, Brittany were you replying to someone's post specifically? As you have me a little confused over who Selene is now too.
Haha yeah to the original post about whether simi and/or Selene will have a book, which I have no clue who Selene is
Ah, I see it now Brittany. I don't have a clue who the original poster meant either. But I think she might have asked the same question for another character in a different series SK is working on is my guess.
I'm reading Dance with the Devil now and just found out who Simi is. I love her dialogue - she's really cute. I understand from some of the posts that she makes appearances in other books. I can't wait to see how her character develops.
Yep, she truly is a character for sure. Although admittedly I had a mini love/hate moment with her for what happened in Seize the Night. I mean she consented and it was consensual and all but still.
Haven't read that one yet. Kiss of the Night is up next for me.
Heck yeah! Would love to see a book on Simi. With her in the Dark/Were/Dream Hunter books as well as Nick's books I think it will be very interesting to see how SK handles her.
Haha, how SK handles her? I can't wait to see how the GUY handles her lol.

yay for Simi and bbq sauce!!!!!
I really hope Simi's book is in the YA sections , 'cause otherwise it will be a truly disturbing thing. It could be interesting for the younger readers but I personally can't see myself reading a book about a demon who's main concernes include eating, watching QVC and some vague male model who's only known for being a Calvin Klein underweare model...no can't do.
Maybe it will be Tempi. But I think SK will write it so that Ash makes it a requirment that she is at least in her "20's" or so anyway before taking on a serious relationship. So she will have time to grow up. She's still a teen of sorts right now. So might be along the same lines as an adult book. Which I would find a bit more reasonable as I'm frankly starting to be kind of distrubed by some of the teen or even YA books lately adding sexual relationships to the mix. I get genre rules and the like can change. And I'm no prude. But I frankly go in to total eye twitch mode even imagining real teens going from saying their sexually active to discussing homework in home room (and this was when I was an actual teen myself(never found anything sexy or sexual about teens then or now)). But to read about it too when I'm more familiar with YA books being more along the lines of first relationships. The subtleness of liking someone and the like and not so sexual. So yea with that said I'm hoping for an adult Simi book.
I agree with everything you said Dhfan4life, Y/A should still with the bloom of young love and it's innocence. Introducing sex as a thought not an actual. I would love to see Simi's book be adult. I wasn't mad as Simi when she and Nick got down and dirty I was a bit mad at Ach for his reaction. I know she is his little darling but the choice was her's and Nick didn't know who she was. I think there was a big over reaction to it..and lack of discussion about his feelings with Simi. He should have made her understand her value and when to share it..not jump off the deep end.

Especially in regard to my own protectiveness of Ash's character. And the fact that he got betrayed once again by two people he cared about. And then when it came out even further why he reacted that way, I still couldn't help from seeing his side even more. Especially when sexual stuff had been forced on him. And how in his own way he wanted to control it and keep it away from his own "child". Even more so the fact that I think he wanted to keep Simi from being what he deemed as an abuser to him and to others if she had sexual knowledge. So I can still see his side of things.
I can't wait for Simi's book to come out. I love her! Whatever Sherrilyn does with Simi, I am sure I will like it.
Anna wrote: "I have a quick question. Nim's name is familar, but which book is he in? I don't remember reading much about him. ..."Anna, I just read Stryker's book, One Silent Night, and Nim was Jared's demon. Jared asked Ash to watch Nim and keep him safe but Nim refused to leave Jared.
My only concern was that Nim was such a coward/ scaredy cat, that I don't want to see him with the Simi. She does deserve an alpha male that Ash can respect. A demon or god that can protect her if necessary, cause even though Simi is strong, she hasn't come into all of her powers yet.
I remember him now. I'm going to have to re read One Silent Night.
I think it really depends on what happens between now and when Simi's book actually comes around. Cause in their world even the most weakest character or other can make it through some tough shit and start finding their back bone over time. I think the biggest fear he has to get over is of Charontes. As he is after all half of one. Gotta tap into his inner strength and be somewhere like Xedrix. In control, kick butt, and endearingly deferring to his wife, lol.
Any updates ? Has she started writing it or is it still only an idea ?It could be interesting depending on how she flips things.
I think it is still kind of on the back burner for now Rare. As Simi is still sort of teenish right now. And although she is doing YA books for Nick, I don't think too many folks would want her to do a YA one for Simi. Not to mention how much further she would have to build the Atlantean and Charonte/demon histories too for that book. So we wait and see.

That's the series that made people care about her. It will be interesting to see what happens with Simi & the other charonte demons. Looking forward to it. Maybe there is a male demon that has not been introduced yet and he ends up with her.
I agree that Simi should not have her book in the nick series. Her book should be part of the Dark hunter series. That being said, I have always felt that she should end up with Nick. Once they both mature more and deal with some stuff. But I think it would be really sweet.
But for Simi to mature is going to take too many millenia, so her and Nick... not possible. It would be to many miserable years of existence for Nick before finding his HEA. Not fair for him. He doesn't deserves to wait that much for his happiness, the sooner the better, even if it means the shortening of the CON series and that's OK in my book. I want Nick to find true love and for him to forgive Ash (this is my HEA/fairytale/girl mentality talking.) LOL *sigh*
I dunno. Maybe the aging works differently. Clearly she's old enough to have sex and dispite what she said to Ash about it just being sweaty and grunty, she may have actually enjoyed it and just been trying to protect ash's feelings (showing a great capacity for higher and deeper emotional maturity and caring than a 'youngester' would have). Maybe it's just intellectually that shes young but she's older in other ways. The aging process for her kind has to be different because otherwise, no matter who it is that she would get her HEA with, it wouldn't be for thousands of years which wouldn't really fit into ANY of the series' story lines. So I still think there is a way for her and Nick to work out. Though I think it will still be maaaany more books before hers comes out. Maybe during the last of the 4 story arcs. And maybe by then the nick Malachai thing will have unfolded enough to allow him to get an HEA too cuz I doubt that Kenyon will give him one before that plays out anyway. So it could still work between them I think
Well for one I thought someone posted earlier in the thread that it was confirmed that Nim would be Simi's HEA. And that it wouldn't be Nick cause there is just far too much bad blood there. And not to mention with him being the Malachai whom even Ash didn't know too much about at the time. I doubt he would let them have a round 2 reunion. And funny you mention her being old enough to have sex despite what she was saying Aestas. That just makes me think how some real teenagers say they are old enough for sex too. But never for the consequences. So to me I think Simi like any "teen" was testing her boundaries. After all she is more than well aware Ash was getting it on with Artie for centuries. So probably wanted to try it out at maybe her species version of 14/15 years old. And could have been honest that it wasn't that great for her as she never reached the feel good phase of things like most female virgins of any type go through their first time(i.e. looking at the ceiling waiting for it to be over, lol). So although I agree she may be more mature in other ways. On certain things I just don't think she is just yet. Not to mention I still feel that she can't get a HEA with anybody til she learns more about her charonte roots by darn it! I mean I love how Ash raised her like his daughter and same for Alexion and Sav. But come on, she is still a demon and should be in the know of her Charonte heritage. And even meet her brother. What is up with them not knowing each other for so long?
ugh lol I typed a huge long response and my phone deleted it. Round 2. sigh.lol, sorry it it was mentioned earlier that there was a confirmed HEA, I didn't read back far enough so I don't know and I havent personally heard anything, so my speculative mind is running wild and free :P
I totally agree that she has to learn more about her roots etc before her HEA and I don't doubt that Kenyon will take ample time with it. I highly doubt that her book is coming out anytime soon, I think its a story that will be developed over the next many books in the background.
That being said, I think that the maturity thing might honestly not be a factor. Like, there could be lots of ways of 'bringing her up to speed' mystically, or even just that Charonte's are intellectually slow but physically fast. Besides, if you think about it, it doesn't really make sense cuz if she's like (sorry i dont remember actual numbers here) 4000+ years old but has only reach a maturity of say 14/15 years, it would make sense that it would be another several thousand years before she becomes mature enough to be very sexually active and I can't really see an entire race of demons abstaining from sex for the first like 5-6000 years of their lives! I think that that it must be that their sexual maturing kicks in a lot sooner... and there is something else to consider, Simi isn't your average Charonte demon living in a normal world. She's ASH'S baby. That means that she will have been extremely sheltered esPEcially in regards to sex, lol, I'm sure he'd feel that 50 human years would be too soon -jk :P
Besides, I really think that Nick has a long way to go before he's ready for an HEA too... so its not like I see them getting it on in like 5 books or anything.
I'm just wildly speculating here. Basically, I don't really care who they end up with. I trust Kenyon's story telling implicitly. I've never not liked any of her choices so I'm not like omg-i-need-them-to-end-up-together or anything... I can just really see it happening... but there are lots of other pairings up that could work too...
Bad phone there for deleting really long messages. And yea I see where you are coming from. I'm not saying that do to long maturity rates they wouldn't be getting it on. I mean I'm quite sure Simi's own mom had to have started possibly early to even have 3 children live successfully and two of them to be grown. Even one with his own child. I was just getting at for that first time with Nick, that Simi was more or less in the exploratory phase/puberty part of her life. Which could physically mean she was ready for sex. But mentally she doesn't grasp the deeper nuances of not slutting it up or doing other demons without protection gets you nasty demon STDs or newer demon baby hybrids she can't take care of, lol. Essentially stuff like that. And even learning about impulse control and not eatting someone just cause they are mean to you or your friends. Kind of like how regular teens have to know impuluse control on how just because they don't always get their way, they can't storm off and do this or that and thinking they are hurting someone else but more so themselves.And yep she has been sheltered by Ash and the few others that he trusts. That is why I was saying too that she hasn't really gotten a chance to understand fully what it means to be a demon. I mean sure her sister can TELL her stuff all day. But Simi still sort of thinks a bit in the human capacity of things at times.
Nick is definitely a long way off from HEA. Heck he has to learn what it means to be a demon himself. So he needs to dial up yoda and take his own personal life journey. Leave Artie alone and get his head back on straight.
ya I definitely agree with you too. Haha both sides are true... And definitely Nick is needs to go through some serious stuff before his HEA. But in many ways, that just makes the story sweeter - makes it more meaningful, like its been earned :)
Too true. Especially if things get changed around enough that he gets his original HEA too.
I think Nicks original HEA was the Devereaux sister that died the night his mother did. But I read that SK said there would be no more of those sisters anymore , so I don't know...But it's not Simi I'm 101% sure. It's not like he wasn't a randy bloke at the time. You know ,ladies love Nick and Nick loves the ladies.
just to clarify, is that your personal opinion that Simi isn't Nick's HEA? or do you have a clip of SK confirming it? ... cuz that would definitely change things lol
I wish I could remeber why I'm sooo sure but for the life of me I couldn't recall where I have read it or watched it. Damn! Right then. Let's move along people and consider that a psychic theory of mine :)
haha kk well all theories are valid. only one person knows what will really happen and its not any of us lol, besides, speculating is fun ;)
Yep. I totally tear down the roof and invite the stars to talk to me so I could mesmerise you with my genuinely awesome theories.
I love to read everybody's theories, who care's who is right...it's just FUN!!!If I'm not mistaken Acheron mention in his book that even though Simi is 14,000 years old she is has the maturity of a 14 year old teen (She was "like a 3 year old" when she was given to Ash by Xiamara and Ash is 11,000 yrs old). So definitely not Nick's HEA there!!!
I love that at the end of "Dream Warrior" when Jared is "demon-sitting" watching Nim & Simi window-shopping. It was so cute...I think they're perfect for each other!!!!
I read somewhere that we would meet Simi's HEA in One Silent Night which, of course, is where she met Nim. Then we have them window shopping in Dream Warrior which makes me go, hmmmmm.
But I'm kind of curious as how old is Nim then? I mean if Simi herself is relatively 14ish does that make Nim 16ish with the mind of a 8 year old? Cause I get that he probably hasn't met very many other demons and the like other than the ones that tried to hurt him before he met Jared. But to still be needing a stuffed animal to hold for comfor makes me think he is mentally even younger than simi. And with him being half charonte too he would need time to grow up as well. Not sure how the slug demon part affects him though. I do agree that it was cute their little date and Simi giving him a newer stuffed animal instead of his old one.
