Excellent, you figured it out too.

All the abilities of the Hybrids.

Vampire and Were abilities, plus abilities neither group has.

Centuries old, Forever lonely and not knowing where she came from.

It all fits together in a loose shape that matches so slick.

"Ashley: “Nors...he's almost certain that Freya has gone to seek a way to end her life." A muffled sob escaped her and she looked away from him again…..”

Ashley: “I don't think she's ever coming back," she admitted. "I can't tell Nors that because it would break his heart even more. He needs to believe that she will, that when she does everything will be just fine."

If Nors already thinks Freya is going to end her life, then how can he believe that she will eventually come home and everything will be fine? This part doesn't make sense and it's these little inconsistencies that kinda make me go huh? But still such great story telling,

I am in awe of your talent

Since when are toddlers able to speak so well?

....are toddlers able to speak so well?"

Since the adults they emulate do NOT (often) use 'baby-talk' to communicate. But rather speak with intelligence and maturity with the child. Helping them with context and pronunciation as needed.

Listening to preset radio and television of mature interests. In addition to PBS children's programming. And we never used the television as a baby-sitter.

Permitting them access to literature and science works as they want to add those to their regular children's books.

I know "Poopy-Pants" made my eyes roll too. But honestly, I giggled right along with the kids while we read them.

This was in addition to National Geographic Juvenile magazines and other similar educational and edutainment material.

Children repeat what they hear. If mediocre cartoons and repetitious comic-books and bad music, and ignorant adult talk (see Fox News) are all they see and hear, that is what they will learn from.
