Lord, Lord, Lord, you're taking me in so many directions that I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt. LOL. But there is never a boring minute with you. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

    I'll take that as a very much appreciated compliment, my sweet friend. I told you...making this one a real page turner from start to finish. Sometimes I can't even keep track of the bad guys!

You are going to overload me with excitement. Your story is action-filled and holds this reader's attention. I will be anxiously awaiting the next chapter. Great writing.

    Guess what? I just posted Chapter 7. Don't feel you have to read it right this minute if you're tired. When you get time, I will appreciate it.

Again, you have written a lovely chapter and as before all of your sentence structure is your paragraphing is very good. Your overall presentation is great and I really enjoyed listening to it. Have a good day and God bless. Patricia .

There are a lot of characters! Maybe because this is a post every day I find I have to stop and reorder my thoughts as to who is (possibly) a good "guy" and which ones are the "goons." It will all come together and make sense ~ your posts always do. Now I don't know about Ryan...(how many motives does he have?)--and of course you leave us with a huge cliffhanger! Was Layla imagining her sister or was this (what do you call it?)-- A video phone chat? It must have been the latter if she (literally) saw the tattoo. I'll tune in tomorrow!

    It's been brought to my attention I left that part out about the phone chat...I need to fix it pronto. As for Ryan, he's a nerd who sees the chance to move up the line on Layla's coattails or should that say designer dress hems. LOL He's not someone to worry about.
    I'm struggling to figure the plot out and make changes as I go, knowing it all has to come together by the end of the month.... and I'll be leaving for N.C. Duty is calling! I think we have all the characters in play now...but one never knows.

    Smiles and hugs, Carol

    I'm seriously praying your trip to N.C. is some sort of rejuvenation for you...

    Carissa (my granddaughter and the 3 girls) have a bit of bumpy road at the moment, She is now store leader (training for manager) and of course, Tyson has decided to make her life uncomfortable again. BUT.... she's got days off and we have decided to get a motel or whatever and stay at the beach. My favorite spot!!!

    Ah! You had me at BEACH!

    LOL

Carol, this is another good chapter. For some reason, I'm not liking Ryan. I will see how that plays out. I'm a little disappointed an undercover cop could be taken so easily. But we will how that plays out too. Excellent. Terry.

    She's new and totally out of her league. She got a promotion because someone wanted to shut her up about Sandra's murder case. She's feisty but not prepared to fight the bad guys. But we count her out just yet.

Alyssa is in trouble, but Layla has at least has a small clue. I can't wait to read more of this. Alyssa is our heroine. She has to survive, right? I am really enjoying reading this. Good job.

    Thanks for reviewing and for always enjoying the story. I assume the four was a mistake, I hope.

    I can't envision any reason why I'd ever give you a four. Thank you for bringing to my attention. I have corrected it.
reply by the author on 07-Mar-2024
    It was okay if you did, but I'd hope in your kind teacher way, you'd have shown me where I strayed. Have a great day!
    Love ya, Carol

    I would have explained everything. NO, it was me making a mistake. My finger likes to roll.
reply by the author on 07-Mar-2024
    easy to do! And because I feel comfortable with you, I didn't fear asking. I value our friendship.
    Have a great day!
reply by barbara.wilkey on 07-Mar-2024
    If you ever again, and I'm sure you will, get a four from me, please bring it to my attention. It was a mistake.
reply by the author on 07-Mar-2024
    No problem... All is good with the world...at least between you and me.

Ugh, a cliff hanger!! :-)
Good development of Layla in this chapter. Tension and mystery continued to build.


Yet tonight it paled to the parties (the idiom needs another word: paled by comparison, paled in comparison, paled next to)

These people had worked long hours and were extremely hard to get to today. (I do not understand the second half of the sentence.)


The last vision was her sister was eyes filled with fear (of her sister)

I think you need to mention that this was a FaceTime call. I was confused for a few sentences as to why Leila could see Alyssa.

Great work! Julie

    Funny how a missing word or two can mess up the whole thing. Thank you as always for setting me straight and I have happily correct my sentences and added what they needed. Always appreciate your keen eye.

Wow, this story is intense! The tension builds steadily! From the phone call to the tension at Layla's birthday celebration. The pacing is excellent. I greatly enjoyed the story. Love the cliffhanger. It left me craving more! I'm eager to find out what happens next.

    Good day, Michael.
    I'm thrilled to see you today. I've shortened the chapter length. Let me know if you prefer this to the longer ones. It's a big story to get into a month. Glad you are enjoying it. Cliffhangers are my specialty.... Thanks so much.
    Smiles, Carol

Wow, on her day of days Layla is beset by some uncertainatirecandcsuddenly the day seems to get suddenly worse. After her friend Diane covers for her in the bathroom, with Ryan looking and concerned, a man with a dreaded tattoo, she's uncannily aware of, accosts, what now? Beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Thank you, Beth...You are forever kind. Did you prefer the shorter chapter or is it still too long? It seems as if I am on a roll in writing, but my followers are thinning. Is it the story, the length or something else?
    Have a great day and thank you for reading.
    Smiles, Carol

    As far as I'm concerted, the longer the better. I think everyone much be behind with full in boxes. i can't get caught up but I read your's first.

    I agree...it's like reading a book. If I'm hooked at the end of a chapter, I want to turn the page and read more.
