Title: Chapter 16

love love love the chapter.  I am glad that she is out there getting answers.  I do feel so bad that she feels like she has to keep all things hidden.  But the back story on the McBain family was great. 

Author's Response: I'm so happy you loved it.  Evangeline knows that something is up and she's determined to figure it out.  It'd be nice if she could be honest with Hugh but then again how do you tell someone that you not only hunt vampires but that you're a hybrid human? Couldn't be easy hahaha.

Title: Chapter 16

Nice chapter.  Interesting to find out about the McBain family history.  I'm sure Caleb's turning was a lot more complicated than Michael realizes.

Can I just say again that Evangeline needs to break up wtih Hugh? I just don't get why she stays with him when she knows she can't make him happy.  Oh and John and Caleb being identical brothers makes any Caleb/Van bonding a little icky to me. It's like her sexing up Michael.  Ew.

Great chapter greatodin as always.



Author's Response: Hmmm, perhaps I have to work harder to change your mind?  I think Evangeline is going to have to talk to Hugh about what's going on with her sooner or later, but will it be too late?  I'm glad you like the McBain history and no, it isn't a simple as Michael has made it to be.

Title: Chapter 16

Good update. When is Caleb gonna pop up again?

Author's Response: Thanks.  Next chapter, he's got some explaining to do I think LOL!

Title: Chapter 16

So much info in this chapter, so much backstory. Really puts Caleb in a different light. Loved how you wrote Michael, his anger and fear felt really authentic and totally understandable.

Really liked the closing too; I can't say I blame him for being weary of Evangline. Not after everything that's happened to his family.

Wonderful as always GreatO.



Author's Response: Thanks TBG, I love good back story.  Also I'm trying to separate Caleb from John a bit because they're not the same so even though this has Jovan elements it's different from the Jovan we know.  So I'll just call it Cavan hahaha.

Title: Chapter 15

I just couldn't stop reading once I started.  I admit, I was never a John fan and always a Tangie fan.  But I will always be a fan of vampire lure.  This is just a great story and I can't stop reading.

Author's Response:

I am really glad that you like this, I am a huge fan of vampire lore as well and I am thoroughly enjoying this alternative take on Evangeline and Jovan/Tangie wars.  I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of John at the moment which is why I had to kill him off.  For those comic book fans out there Caleb to me in a way is like Superman-Prime to John's Superman: he's darker, less morally driven, more complex.  But he has a clean slate with Evangeline which makes it easier for me to write for them as a potential couple.

Anyways, sorry for the tangent and I hope you keep reading!

Title: Chapter 15

Hugh is a smart guy.  I feel for him and Evangeline pretty much lied to his face about her reaction to Todd.  Have to wonder why she doesn't do the decent thing and just let him go so he can find someone that can make him happy. 

 Still on the Tangeline train by the way.  Nice update.



Author's Response:

I'd like to think that Evangeline is lying more to herself than Hugh when it comes to her feelings about either Todd or Caleb, though she may be intrigued and attracted to them, given her history and being a slayer she is very clear that she doesn't want to be involved with either of them, she kind of has a war raging inside of herself I think and it won't be getting any easier.  I think Evangeline does love Hugh and I hope that this comes across in my writing, I think she would like nothing more than to be with Hugh and have a normal life but she struggles with knowing that she will never be normal.  Evangeline has pretty much always been alone other than Layla who's on the other side of the ocean so I think she is selfishly hanging on to Hugh because he's the only one that she has and next to Layla he knows her as well as anyone (save the all the vampire stuff).  Obviously there's a price to be paid for trying to have your cake and eat it too though. . .

Sorry BlackMa, the tangelines are going to step aside for a minute though because it's Caleb's turn to bat hahaha.

Title: Chapter 14

Oh I liked this chapter.  Todd and Evangelne's little dance is so hot and I'm liking Yul.  Todd's reaction to Blair made me laugh out loud.  Great chapter.



Author's Response: Glad you like Yul, he's not going to be a very nice guy but he is DAMN sexy LOL!

Aww, poor Hugh. Guy doesn't know what he's up against. Liked how you established their relationship, and Evangline's feelings about Hugh. And she knows that Yul is powerful, so that should be interesting..

Great chapters Greatodin, looking forward to more!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like!  Evangeline's been around the block enough times to know the score, it'll be interesting to see how far deep she's going to get involved in figuring out what the vampires have brewing.  And I agree, Hugh most certainly does not know what he's up against, hahaha, but he'll find out soon enough. . .

Title: Chapter 14

Whoo, this was nice. Loved the Yul scene, so very darkly hot. And LMAO off at this line...

 “Hey you, I was wondering where you’d run off too.“  Todd cringed at the feminine southern drawl as he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Blair look up at him with her best seductress pout.

Damn that was funny. Great job with this one, I love this story...

Angel



Author's Response: Thanks Angel!  I always have way too much fun with Blair, she's just ridiculous sometimes, I think this is my own secret revenge for years of being subjected to the horror that is T&B hahaha.
