Thorne Ch. 11

I think Thorne is my favorite installment... at least for now I'm dying to read Victoria and Celeste

Just maybe when things are at their worst, Barb gives her best and saves the day?

Oh well, just dreaming a bit. I still think the fates had a reason for her and Thorne that has not been revealed.

Love the story Kalamazoo. Your top's in the story telling department in my book. :-)

I can not stand Barb. I will love for her to drop off the face of the earth. I love how she is afraid of the little girl. I just want the child to be okay. Most important I would love to know why she hates Louise so much. Looking forward to the next chapter.

You gave us a lot to think about in the six pages. What people don't realize is that each page on lit. is like 9 pages on a word document. It takes time, especially when you have a lot of other things going on. The effort is appreciated.

I always had faith in Barb, while there is no direct indication of any actual cause for her behavior, I have a feeling it will be revealed. I, for one, wouldn't like Barb to lose her grit and her feisty personality. Sometimes there is no distinct personality in the women in these stories and I think the reason Barb upsets some so much is because she is truly different from the rest of them. To me she is the most interesting of the women in these stories.

As for the others in her family members having the perfect, they don't. Sure they found love and are happy with their mates, but as part of the Vampire family they can't have a normal life like humans, although they do the best that they can. Money doesn't ease the fear of losing a member of your family to the hunters. Humans live with dangers, but there aren't people out there actively hunting for them, criminals don't count. Anyway, they have to be super vigilant all the time.

They can't go out during the day and they only seem to associate with other Vampires. There were a couple of Kal's Vampire stories where the men do associate with humans, including Thorne, but it's only superficial or to make them victims, they have no human friends nor do the women. I know that it's because they have to be so secretive about who and what they are.

-

The women have to live with the fact that either their mates raped them or raped hundreds or thousands of other women. What do these women, some long dead and their families get out of the Sinclairs being redeemed? Although this is fiction, I struggled with the concept of the Vampires getting redemption and it's the main reason I never read Ethan, even when I had the chance to do so for free. His poor wife is still having flash backs. So, if Barb's siblings have the perfect life, I don't know what perfect is. Barb is the only one who think their lives are perfect.

-

Having said all of that, I do enjoy the series and I like Barb's character very much, although her attitude could use some adjusting. I think she will fall in love with her baby and Thorne. Those two are working too hard trying NOT to care about each other. It may take some traumatic event like almost losing Thorn or the baby to bring her around. At some point I think we will see that Barb has some formidable powers, most of the Yancys do so far.

I agree with what everyone has said. She really needs a reality check n hopefully that comes soon. Im glad shes getting better but she needs help n maybe if her family cant help her maybe thornes mom can help her or even each other. I really dont want to see this end where she hates everyone n shes not there for her baby. I dislike barb but my heart may brake for that lil baby.
