An intervention?!!  What?!!  Is this for Edward so he will get out more and find himself a woman?

Love how this has started.  Bella is great and she is about to meet a new man.  How exciting is that?  And Rosalie?  OMG, do friends come any better than that?  All to often the Rosalie's of stories are not really great girlfriend material so when I find one that is I get really excited.  And speaking of her I did not see her at the family dinner. 

Edward's backstory is tragic to say the least.  How do you pick up the pieces when the love of your life dies like that?

Anyhoohoo.  Looking forward to more.

Sandra

Ah so they did not know one another.  Well that is going to change soon.  And what is the deal with Rosalie?  Why doesn't Edward like her?  My god think how bad it would be if she was as mean and snarky like she is in so many other stories.  Oh well I can't be bothered with that right now as Bella will set him straight.

Loved Tia and her talk with Edward.  And what is this about the grandma's talking and deciding that the girl need someone else to care for them?  I was just wondering if maybe Alice planted the seed in an effort to help Bella find work.

As usual I loved Jake in this capacity.  And I really like that Bella and Leah get along well.  I am enjoying your characters immensly.

Sandra

I like how this starts. Just another day in the lives of friends.  Enter Edward and Bella is not even aware that he is the Edward Cullen that Angela was talking about.  Looking forward to more and how they interact when there is an introduction.

Sandra

Holy Moly.  In a quest for answers I find more questions.  Rosalie is an enigma of sorts.  Correct me if I am wrong but part of the time she was speaking with a Russian accent and part of the time without?  We know she is Jasper's sister so unless he is Russian too this is not for real. 

I have to laugh at myself in that I was getting all comfortable with the whole undercover thought.  At one point I even thought she might be helping Jasper out but realize she was already in place when he began his quest.  But in the end she threw me for a loop with her you have no idea what I will  have to give up comment.

So once again the plot thickens.

Sandra

Bella was flying higher than a kite for a while there.  I actually wondered if Aro did not give her too much on purpose.  Luckily for her Edward was there to take her away to help her come down. 

Is it just me, Naya, or do your other readers feel the pull between these two?  Bella talks of being comfortable with him.  I am somewhat certain that if asked Edward would tell us he feels the same.  The time they spent together flowed quite naturally once she began to come down from her high. 

The time they spent in the room together was as if they were in a bubble.  It was just them and time stood still.  I can see them developing a routine where he comes in, pays for time with her and let the chips fall where they may.  But how long will it last before it all falls down?

Sandra

Wow.  Lovin' the angst so much.  I can actually feel the weight of despair that hangs over these girls like a veil.  But it is the glimmer of hope that Jasper could actually save at least one of them that makes my heart race.  If he coud just get Alice out of there maybe, jut maybe they could find a way to get Bella out too. 

I wish I could keep reading tonight.  Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

Slow but steady wins the race, right?

Let's see.  Edward feels responsible for the death of a past love.  What a burden to carry.  It is as if by marrying Tanya he can right a wrong by taking care of her.  Twisted logic, huh?  The sad part of this is that in the end he could destroy her by not loving her.  Idk, just my 2 cents.

Jasper has his hands full with his best friend.  Too bad he can't get Edward to listen to the voice of reason.  Edward is certainly lucky to have him for a friend. 

And Rosalie?  What is with her?  What does she do for a living?  Looking forward to more on that.

Whoa.  This chapter gives us a lot of info.  It gives us an understanding of what the girls are facing and makes my heart hurt.  I felt the girls were trapped before and now I am left with the pain that they might never get out.  At this point I have to believe that Jasper is their only hope and what can one man do against the organization. 

I can understand why you like writing Demetri.  And yes, his accent comes across very well.  So much so that I had to reread bits here and there to be sure I understood correctly, lol.  I did not care much for the fact that he had to hurt Alice, show her who's boss so to speak.  Like it or not I can understand that he must never show weakness no matter what his position within the organization.  I am almost afraid to go to the next chapter and to discover Bella's punishment in all of this. 

And before I move on .... this prominent doctor that is mentioned?  Would that be Carlisle?   No, don't answer that.  Do we even know if he is a doctor or not in this story? 

Sandra

Better safe than sorry indeed.  I do hope she will burn the letter.   If it were me I know I would want to keep it.  That is what a normal tenager does under normal circumstances.  But alas and alack Alice has no choice but to destroy this token of normalcy, this token of love.

There is the part of me that fears for Mike's return.  One would imagine that very little escapes this group of poohpahs.  And Demetri is going to be especially observant of any activity that encircles his Pixie's space.  This cannot fare well for anyone involved.  Sure Mike was willing to help for a steep price but will he sing if he gets caught?

Sandra

The plot thickens and that is just in the first chapter.  Looking forward to Bella and Edward coming face to face.   I can imagine the look on his face when he meets his daughter.

Hi Shu.  Welcome Back.

So they are living under one roof again.  I could not help but smirk that Edward is sleeing in the guest room.  But I have to ask where he will sleep while Alice and Jasper are in town. 

The gifts of photos really tugged at my heart strings.  Two women with two destinies.  It is too early to speculate but I can't help but wonder what path lies ahead for Bella. 

So far so good but they have only been together one week.  No matter what I promise not to throw anything at you.  Now whether or not I throw things at Edward is totally up to you.

Sandra

Ah, TZ, it is good to be back in the saddle again.  So many good things in my life lately that this is like icing on the cake.  Thank You!

Sandra

To say I am behind in reading is an understatement but how in the hell is my big little man updates getting past me?  I better make sure I have him on alert!

The moment I read ..... "...Iwasthinkingwecoulddoasortacavemanfantasy..." my thoughts immediately went to Ayla and Jondular but they did not end up there that is for sure. 

As always I loved Edwards thoughts.  And don't you know the monster had a great time.   Have I ever mentioned we live in the Ozarks, in a woods no less, and although we have found no caves we have many interesting rocky areas.  I say this because the monster has not been here for a while.  Perhaps he's like to come for a visit?
