So true Molly... You couldn't have said it any better... I hate it when guys think women should stay home barefoot and pregnant. Ekkk... Another reason I love pritkin! Ahahah... And he's so sweat about the whole going back to hell and torture- literally- to save her life. And yeah, they done the demon equivalent to sex although they didn't actually do it... Sadly xD

Krazy_KD

[Mallaidh]

No kidding Krish. If those two don't have actual sex soon, you all can come visit me in a padded cell b/c I'm going to lose it :P

[Amy-la]

I'm starting to get worried that Karen Chance won't be able to out-do herself with sex scenes in the future. What's she saving for the Cassie/Pritkin scene?!

[Mallaidh]

Hahaha maybe. But I'm so emotionally dedicated to Pritkin that I would read an entire chapter about him doing his laundry and love it.

[Kristine]

I know right? Never mind their frustration what about ours? We're getting sexually frustrated here... They better do it soon >.< I guess the wait makes it all the more sweeter? And ya know, with pritkin being gone, hopefully Cassie will now fully realise how much he really means to her. Distance/absense makes the heart grow softer yes? :D

Krazy_KD

[Kristine]

Or is it an entirely different quote? xD I think I just embarrassed myself there....

[Mallaidh]

I hope so :D I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Cassie fell for the old "don't know what you got 'till it's gone" thing. She'll realize how much JP means to her and that she needs him in her life. If she doesn't, he's coming home with me. :D

[Kristine]

Honey, not if I bag Pritkin first ;D ahahha or we can share... Cassie can have Mircea if she wants but Prits staying with us... Ahahah ;)

HEY!! I want up in this!!!!!!!! I want a little Pritkin!!!!

[Scarlet]

Pritkin's gone to hell?????




I still haven't finished the book I am somewhere in the beginning when he went in Faerie. But I DON"T MIND SPOLIERS SO LET ME KNOW!!!

[Robin]

Noooo I totally don't recommend you find out. In this case waiting till the end to find out really is the best thing, I promise! And I'm the same as you normally!

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

i agree with robin, you should totally read the book first, that way when you find out what happens it'll be so much better!!

Promise!!

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

You can all have Prtikin, then I have Mircea all to myself. :-)

[Kristine]

Kirstin, join the club mate! We can have time table, share him between us all! Ahahah and yeah, I agree... Now you know he's "going to hell" but not why. That'll make you more edgy and excited. Trust me you will love it. Ahahha and Sarah! Your a Mircea fan? :O wwooah.

Krazy_KD

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

Pritkin all the way :)

Hahaha, yeah, I am! :-P I mean, I like both guys but Mircea just does it for me. LOL This doesn't mean that I'm not pissed at him when he treats Cassie like a child but I can't help it! I'd even let him lick my toes. Hahaha!

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

Btw, am I the only one who likes Marco?

[♋ Carol☯]

Not the only one :D

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

no way - i love marco :)

if i can remember correctly cassie described him along the lines of a giant hairy cuddle bear, or something close to that, haha

[Jessica]

"He was warm and fuzzy, like a big teddy bear. A big teddy bear with fangs."

LOL, yeah I cracked up!

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

haha that was the best!!

im pretty sure he was a gladiator from rome before he got turned aswell.

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

Oh yeah, I loved that desciption of him! LOL

I hope we get to know more about him. The glimpses we got made me very curious.

[Scarlet]

Sarah wrote: "Oh yeah, I loved that desciption of him! LOL

Agreed. I hadn't realized how truly good Marco is until I read about the scene in the bathroom, but he's on my hot-list now!
Anyway, I hope that(since Pritkin's going to hell and everything, from what I have gathered round here)I hope he'll become human mage ehrn he gets back. Only, has Cassie died and gone to hell and he goes to her rescue??

[Becca]

Although I'm not that big a fan of Johnny Cash, I don't think that I will be able to listen to him the same way again without Pritkin coming to mind. :)

Also, I missed Billy Joe in this book. I feel as if he gets less page time as the books go on... but I guess other characters such as Marco and Jonas make up for it and Fred was hilarious.

[Enjee, Founder]

I missed Rafe and Radu, and Marlowe was barely there.
I did not miss the Consul.

[Kelly]

I kind of think it was Dori in a wig playing Cassie, bc Mircea said that the look a like takes risks all the time that it was her job. Just a thought.

[Kat]

I think it was a war mage, Mircea would never kiss his daughter like that.

Same here! Didn't miss the Consul at all!

[Jessica E]

Kirsh,
You questioned in message 142 if Cassie herself is a goddness. I have the same question. Niall said her dad was Garm the companion of Hel. Was he a god? If so, that would mean Cassie is a goddess, right? Someone please help me understand this confusing Norse mythology.

Sarah - You are not the only one that loves Mircea. I want her to be with him but (like you) I get really frustrated with him when he is super protective. I am really turning toward Pritkin as well but ultimately want Mircea/Cassie.

Kelly - I never thought about who was the double but Dori would make sense. She could defend herself easily enough but I thought Vampires could detect her dampire-ness.

Kat - Did Mircea kiss Cassie's double?

Much of Rosier's motivation for maintaining a tight leash on Pritkin (and confining him to hell) seems to be fueled by Rosier's desire for Pritkin to breed with a powerful female and sire a grandchild that will boost Rosier's standing among other demons..."

I think Pritkin's value to Rosier isn't so much that Rosier wants a powerful grandchild, but that he's wanting to trade favors with other demons for Prikin's "services". He told Cassie that full demons have terribly low reproductive rates and limited partners because most are restricted to what kind of energy they can exchange.

Pritkin's human half increases his fertility and his incubus half allows him to exchange energy with anyone which means other demons are willing to give/pay a lot more to mate with him. So, basically I think he mostly just wants to use Prikin like a high class hooker.

Another thing I've been thinking about this is that Pritkin said that time runs differently in the demon realms like it does in Faerie. The one time Pritkin's experienced the hell/earth time change, it was to have a lot more time pass on earth than in hell, but the time differences in Faerie were both. Sometimes not much time would pass and sometimes years in comparison to Earth.

This has me a little worried that even if Cassie were to launch a rescue mission first thing in the next book, Pritkin could have already been there for years. A lot can happen to a guy trapped in hell for years on end.

As for Cassie's dad, I don't think he's a god. Karen may make him one for these books, but Garm wasn't actually a god Norse mythology, he was a dog that guarded Hel's gate to the underworld, kind of like the three headed dog Cerberus that guarded the gate to Hades in Greek mythology. Also, if she were a full goddess it seems like she should have a lot more power than she does. I think she probably has more than she realizes, but maybe not quite that much. I do think it's reasonable that even if she is just a demigoddess that she would have a longer lifespan. The Graeae are supposed to be long lived I think, and the Spartoi were immortal so it's only fair...

I can't find a translation for Ragnar or Rag, but Ragnarok is supposed to translate to "final destiny of the gods". If Ragnor does translate to "warrior of the gods" then I'm guessing that it's "rag" translating to "gods" since those are the two words both have in common.

*takes deep breath*

Ok, sorry about the word vomit... that was stuff I'd been thinking about too and I wanted to get it all out before it floated off into the ether.

[Jessica E]

Thanks Jessica, that was very helpful. I cannot wait for the next book.

[Cher]

loved the book but I have a question. Why did Pritkin go to hell? They didn't have sex at the end but he did give her energy.Is this the reason or because he gave her energy and he was out? Sorry, confused a this part

[Jessica]

I just remembered, my main question about Cassie's dad is what the fudge was he doing on a supposed Guild mission trying to change history? Was he really part of the Guild before he met Cassie's mom, and she helped him see the error of his ways? Or was it some kind of trick to make Agnes think he was part of the Guild?

Agnes knew him, so why did she think that her mom ran off with someone else... or did she know it was the same guy? I'm stumped, I can't even come up with any theories on this one.

The energy exchange is considered demon sex, and he was banned from both human and demon varieties.

Mircea mentioned that information coming from the Pythia is very hard to obtain and whatever bits is uncovered may not be accurate (thing about the heir going missing and with whom being altered). I think it is safe to say that few know the real answer to your question.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

@ Jessica: I do not see Pritkin bending at the knew for his father for stud duty....however long Cassie takes to rescue him.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

i agree with jessica about the theory of pritkin possibly being in hell longer than "Earth Time" like when there in faerie and im wondering what the end result will be from that ??

[Rachel]

I don't know if the time thing is consistent in Hell, but when Pritkin was in Hell the first time, he said he was there for a few decades but hundreds of years had passed on Earth. So I'm hoping it would be more likely that if it took Cassie weeks/months to rescue him, it would seem to him like he'd only been there a day.

[Jessica]

Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ wrote: "@ Jessica: I do not see Pritkin bending at the knew for his father for stud duty....however long Cassie takes to rescue him."

I don't expect him not to fight it, and I know how determined he can be, but in chapter 30 when he's explaining it to Cassie he says, "The agreement I made was simple: no sex, of the demon or human varieties. Else I would forfeit my 'parole' and be returned to my father's court, forever to remain under his absolute authority."

He may not have a choice. Rosier may or may not have a way to force his compliance, or he could be bound to it by willingly making the agreement.

But I guess my point was more that I was worried about him possibly being stuck there for years, that would suck for him even if he did manage to keep his undies on.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Well damn! Pritkin has a high sense of honor...if he made the agreement with Rosier, it would go against his moral code to renege on this agreement.

Reminds me of book 2 when Pritkin agrees to take care of Cassie for Agnes and mentioning that he do not make promises ever....because he keeps them.

My heart bleeds for him now....unless he has a card up his sleeve...he goes on stud duty.

Lol, that same thing occurred to me when I was typing out that quote. I hope he doesn't have to do anything like that, but a lot of explaining went into that whole situation for nothing to come of it.

Maybe after we read A Family Affair and Shadowland we'll have more information to draw conclusions from.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Ah, I'm not a lawyer but can you play on words? The 'no sex, of the demon or human varieties', does it include power exchange?
In Curse the dawn, the famous changing room scene....Cassie ask if it is sex yet...and Pritkin responds that it's an emergency. Would oral sex be considered sex in the demon world?
Can Pritkin get out of it on a technicality?

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

i wish Karen didnt take the short story about Prit down from her website!!

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

i dont think oral counts

When Pritkin is explaining all that demon sex stuff after their scene in the shower, he tells her that the more humanoid species of demons can have sex like humans, but that they don't consider that a true joining. That only happens when they merge with each other and feed off each other's energies.

So, the power exchange is what's considered to be demon sex. That's what was happening when he fed on her power in the changing room and in the car. Pritkin said that Rosier made an exception about him not being allowed to feed/exchange energy when his life was in danger. When he did it those two times he wasn't breaking his agreement, but when he transferred energy back to Cassie he was breaking it because it wasn't his life that was in danger.

[Kat]

@ Jessica E- if I remember correctly he did kiss her, it was right when that female Russian vamp complained that she didn't look like a pythia ( I might be wrong, I can't double check as I have lent my copy to my best friend to read)

I think that Garm would be a magical creature somewhere between a faerie and a werewolf. Definately immortal but perhaps not a god. At least that is how I read it.

Yea I agree not having the Consul there was much better although I was kinda hoping for more cameo's or maybe Dee to show up.

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

I love the Norse mythology mixed into the book. Just saw a documentary about it and it put a smile on my face because I was thinking of HtM.

I like it too. It's not used as much as Greek or Roman, and I like the way she's mixing the different mythologies. I've been reading up on it a bit, trying to see if I can figure out who or what is going to be representing Odin and Fenrir for their big showdown. I doubt I'll find anything, but my obsessive personality demands that I try lol.

[Nichole (DirrtyH)]

Sorry, guys, I skimmed a little bit so if this has already been discussed, just point me to that post.

But I noticed someone asking if we thought Cassie would go get Pritkin first, or go to Faerie to get Hel. I'm a little confused - Hel = Artemis, right? And Artemis is dead? So why would Hel be in Faerie?

I think when Cassie said she was going to "raise some Hel" she did mean that she's going to go find her mother, because she needs her mother to give her some tips on how to get Pritkin back from the demon dimension. I'm just wondering why we think she's going to Faerie. I'm assuming she's going to time travel again.

Damn....can we say that Cassie does not technically fall into the demon or human varieties? I mean, the offspring of a goddess and a magical creature somewhere between a faerie and a werewolf is not very...human?
