Superb tension, Bev. You're setting everything up brilliantly You write like a seasoned pro - smooth narrative, authentic dialogue. Not a bump to be seen anywhere. You put me right there with Ty. I'm a bit leery about going with him to that cabin, though!
I especially love how you include snippets of the native language. It adds to the mystical aspects of the book.
Fantastic, as always!
Love Av

Thank you so very much, Av. What an honor to receive such wonderful encouragement from a writer I so admire. I especially appreciate the insights you've shared, my friend.

Comment from judiverse
This is filled with 6-star excitement! Ty certainly has his hands full with Tony being kidnapped and he hasn't been able to be in touch with Jana. Reports of the goats disappearing. Ty is taking very seriously the reports about the devil dog with the painted face--and he hears that one has been spotted. Strange happenings, and this unfriendly force is very powerful. You convey the sense of urgency with so much happening. Father Brian is supposed to be exchanged for Tony, but will that satisfy the fiend? judi

Judi, thank you so much for this very generous and encouraging review. I think the fiend wants the souls of as many as he can get! I'm reminded that Satan is reputed to be the Father of all Lies.
I so appreciate your support, Judi! :) Bev

You're so welcome. Ty, Jana, and others are really up against a powerful force. I am sure eager to see how it comes out. Hope both Tony and Father Brian will survive. judi

I'll do my best, Judi. hehehe
Thanks again!
:) Bev

You're welcome, Bev, and I hope the fiend will get his due. judi

Comment from Rosalyne
Hi, Bev.
Wow, this chapter is excellent! You visuals and dialogue had me hanging off every word. What a great story you've written! This is exciting and a wonderful mix of two cultures. The ending is such a great suspense leaving the reader to speculate what's behind the door. Write the next chapter quickly, please. I can't wait to find out what happens.
Awesome write!!!!!
Bye
Hugs

Comment from Norbanus
Another great segment, with outstanding use of introspection to keep the readers focused where you want them. Ty is proving to be a excellent character.

Comment from Adri7enne
In your "Previously" "JAKE'S voice was pitched..." Insert apostrophe "S".
"Just get down to the station AN do as I ask!" AND
Lots of action, Bev. And it's got lots of supernatural undertones. I'm anxious to see how you make it all turn out. I'm enjoying the story. Well done, Bev!

Hi, Adrienne. Thanks so much for catching those annoying spags. You've got a great eye for the details. And your review's left me smiling! I appreciate it very much. :) Bev
Comment from Green Lake Girl
Super chapter, Bev. I found it to be really tight writing. At this point in the tale, and if this story were complete and in book form, I would not set it down until the end. You've built the story up to quite a crescendo, turning this into a real page-turner. I believe you're a natural thriller writer.
Had to comment on this:
"Their offshoots struggled to capture some of the precious daylight while forming a natural camouflage for the fiend that slaughtered Wasu." (An example of superior description with a modicum of words. I can "see" what Ty is seeing.)
Very well done!

Thanks so much, Marietta. I'm pleased that you liked that description. Spent a few sleepless nights trying to figure out how to make the opening interesting. So, it means a lot. As does your support and generosity. :) Bev

Comment from A Matter Of Words
This was an outstanding chapter. I have missed most of this story, but am captivated by the concepts, imagery and tension woven into what I have read. I will go back and slowly pick up the threads.
