 Almost EternalApril has always lived in her famous mother's shadow.
Will she find the light she is looking for or will she just end up somewhere darker?This is a plot-based story (honestly, there is a plot) about three teenaged girls on a disastrous journey to vampiric madness. Genre: Tragicomedy seems to be the general consensus. Elements of horror/thriller. Important to note: this story is a riot, but it does get deep and dark at times. It contains strong language, mature themes and an unhealthy dose of dark humour. Story summaries are now available for Book One, Book Two and Book Three on the story index. Latest ChaptersChapter 4.24 - Be MineChapter 4.23 - Elixir MixerChapter 4.22 - Flirt With Death |

How many times in five minutes could they use the word ‘dead’?

You really like snooping don’t you?

There's a lot here, so it may take me a while to catch up. I've got to say that you wrote a wonderful first chapter.  I feel really bad for April. It's like she has the Mommie Dearest version of Joan Crawford for a mother. I do not know why some successful women have to tear their daughters down.  |

arieltriffic ooh, a new neck face. Welcome to the party! Not a fan of Sandy, I see. I'm sure things will get better for April. Possibly.

Read a few more chapters. I think the feel of the story is fang-tastic fantastic. Chapter 2 Wow, if I had said anything like that to my mom, I probably would not exist. Is April suicidal, or is she unwisely proving that she has guts?
(Seriously, if you do have to be around someone as unkind as Sandy, do not let them know you do not like them. This person will only make it harder for you.)
April is very lucky that Sandy is too vain to be outraged for long.
Chapter 3 Broof, that's an interesting name. I don't think I have ever met a Broof. Also, Caleb's secret is known. Chapter 4 Oh my plum - Caleb's stare at April. She's not very good at keeping a secret, is she?
Oh, no. He threw her down? (Please let it only be uncalled for violence). Has Caleb been less of a good guy than I thought all along? Was the affable nature only a facade? Chapter 5 Oh, no, no! It's worse than I feared. As for the pajamas thing, that reminds me of the time I had to go to the hospital. I woke up in this scratchy gown without any of the clothes I arrived in. Talk about embarrassing. Chapter 6 Sandy, genuinely concerned for others? Not in a million years. "Is that acrylic?" is such an amazing line.
I also wish to say that I appreciate the old-timey "vampyre-with-a-y" newspaper article. It's inexplicable, but I still have a literary crush on that rotten Lord Ruthven. So, I get the whole crushing-on-Caleb thing. |

arieltrifficJust a heads up - my responses may be pretty vague as I don’t like to spoil anything or steer reader opinion (although if you’ve read any of the comments on the blog you probably know this already). But know that I very much appreciate you reading and commenting. So… Chapters 2-6
2 - April is definitely motivated by something, yes.
3 - ‘Broof’ is not really a name, more of a fire-resistance rating system for roofing. I needed a name and that had featured in my day. Just wait until you meet ‘BuildingRegulation’.
4 – I’m sure Caleb will explain at some point.
5 – Having also once woken up without the clothing I was last in, I feel your embarrassment.
6 – Crushing on Caleb… let’s see how that goes.
