Well, that was awful that they couldn't control Edward and he went on a killing spree of humans. It was rather disturbing to read, too. Yuck. I am glad that they were able to rein him in eventually. Merely because he let them. Sure didn't seem like he wanted to. I am surprised the Cullen's are so openly public with photo's and being in the Forbes100. That seems dangerous to do, when they are not aging. I am completely confused on her ring. From the way it was described it seems there is a rose colored diamond inside a clear white diamond. How is that even possible? Meh, doesn't matter. Seems strange that they haven't been intimate with each other in a long while . . . yet the chapter started with her lying on his naked chest. Wouldn't that imply they've been making love the whole night? I suppose not if she was just internalizing the very opposite. Thank you for the very different take on Twilight. I enjoyed reading this.

Wow, that was a shit ton of pain he went through. Very descriptive chapter. Well done.

Well, I knew that was going to happen when they decided to go to Forks. The picture and article that Edward found of Charlie was of him researching 'animal attacks' in the area . . . translation vampire attacks. Poor Bella. I know she misses her father terribly. It sucks that the Cullen's never staged closure for him. The disappearing into thin air is the very worst for any parent. Why didn't they stage something for him? Anything to allow him to move on. So sad. Those journals though, good night. Again, so sad. Why are they sending Bella away for Edward's transformation? As difficult as it is to listen to the man you love in pain, I would be right beside him every step of the way. There would be hell to pay if anyone tried to keep me away from him too. I do not understand your logic on that part of the story.

I like that they are sharing so much with each other. Her decision to go to Forks has to register with Alice. However, Bella is still without her cell phone, as she demolished it in Chicago. Therefore, Alice can't reach Bella and she has no idea what Edward's cell number is. Charlie investigating the recent animal attacks, will only mean VxJ are there in Forks. They've already left Denali and are already into Washington. I'm sure their house phone was ringing right as they were leaving the house. Especially since Esme mentioned the cell service is lacking in the area they will be in and gave her that special number. I really wanted Edward o be changed when they, as a family, did it. Seems he'll be changed by the same damn vamps that got Bella. At least Edward wants this life. I hope there are no wolves in this one. Even if they help Bella defeat JxV . . . I'd rather the family make it there on time instead.

The family going up to Denali to help them rid the area of Victoria and James, makes a lot more sense. I hope they get them and Victoria doesn't escape and some to Seattle. There isn't enough chapters left for that nonsense. Besides, of all the places either James or Victoria can run to, it would be waaaaaaay too coincidental to run right to where Bella is all alone. Ugh. I was really surprised that Bella and Edward made love in this chaoter. I figured Bella would wait a while, until everything was asked and answered at least. I did like that she now wants to have him forever. That is a step in the right direction. Will she do that though? That is entirely different.

Well, that went better than expected. Clearly something, or someone, will have to happen to Edward, as Bella is straight up not changing him. She says she loves him, yet apparently not enough to want him for forever. She thinks she's being self sacrificing but, she's being selfish. She really needs to take his decision into consideration. Much like Edward never took Bella's, as he always thought he knew best, in THE books. I don't like that the whole Cullen family went off to chase down the Denali's to 'make nice', when it was Tanya that disrespected Bella in her own home. WTH?

I was so angry with Alice for what she did to Bella. I don't care if it works out in the end, she had no right to do what she did. That was pure evil for someone that's supposed to be your best friend and sister. Then to add insult to injury, that bitch Rosalie makes the story about Edward come out in front of the three sisters. At least Kte was decent about it all. I highly doubt that Victoria and James would be randomly mentioned again, if they weren't popping back up again soon. What are they going to do with Edward? Will the Cullen's get those two stopped permanently? They need to be, with the way they are so viscous. I'm sure Irina will talk of all of this when they get back and he'll report back to the sick duo. Rosalie coming into Bella's room and being a right shit to her was cruel. She's already really angry, sad and upset, hey let's beat her while she's down! Rubbing in that Tanya wants Edward for herself if Bella doesn't act soon enough. Something is wrong Rosalie. She's seriously twisted. Hey! Maybe she can go hang with Victoria and James, you know in the permanent death. I'm glad that Edward is on his way there. Hopefully, he won't take no for an answer. He's already thought of being with Bella in immortality, if she wants him. Something has to happen soon, there is only six chapters left.

Well, I'm glad that Edward out his time to very good use and figured it all out. I am not surprised in the least that Rrin did not give Edward the message that Bella left for him. He even asked her directly. What a bitch. Hopefully, Lizzie tells Edward that Bella came in and left a note with Erin. Let's see Erin talk herself out of that one. Especially when he asked for messages right as he gave her the signed book. Again, bitch.

Wow, I didn't think anyone could be more morose than the original Edward from Twilight. This Bella has him beat by miles. Why is she doing this to herself and him? It is actually draining to read her. I had to stop several times because she was making me really cranky. Emmett was a great addition in this chaoter. Poor Erin does have it bad for Edward. I'm sure she will read the letter. Or, she won't give it to him at all. Hopefully, Lizzie will let Edward know Bella stopped in. I can't imagine the Denali's will help Bella, she's too deep in her own set way of being miserable.

That was such a wonderful night, until it all went to shit. Those guys messed with the wrong woman but, unfortunately Edward saw a lot of it. Plus, he knows she carried him to the hotel and practically carried him through the lobby. He may figure it out on his own, like Bella did in Twilight. Maybe if he reads her other books, he can put together what she's been hiding in them? Kind of like that young lady who questioned her at the very first book signing. The one Alice dismissed as still believing in fairies. She's read all her books and she put it together. When he sits down and remembers her strength, the 'animal' noises, her being cold, her running when he opened the curtains, the make-up onher skin. He's not stupid, he just needs a mental push of some sort.

I'm so happy she had her epiphany. That she can be around him and his blood, as the man himself intrigues her way more than his blood does. She still doesn't want to change him but, she definitely has fallen for him. I really liked that she sat behind him and his friends all night, eavesdropping, when they were at the bar. Her waitress must've been elated with Bella. I like that your vamps can drink alcohol. At least they have that in social situations. Edward was so nervous approaching her at the book signing. I loved how he got there when she was done so that he could ask her out. She was so very elated. Very enjoyable chapter.

His making of the Bella's Dream coffee, was a good outlet for him. It also stirred up an awful lot of thoughts, knocking him clear out of focus. The dream he had turned melancholy. Made me wonder the meaning behind it all. Did that mean that his mother is aware of what is happening and she is okay with him choosing the path that gives him Bella for eternity?

It sure seemed Bella was going to talk herself right out of anything, before it even had a chance to begin. I'm glad she finally saw herself with Edward at his shop, side-by-side working. Why is your Rosalie such an evil person? Bella mentioned that they did not have a good repair with each other but, why? Bella didn't choose this life, VxJ killed her dead, yet not all the way. It was a good thing the Cullen's found her. Is Rosalie jealous that Bella is beautiful and kind? As Rosalie sure doesn't not have anything kind about her.

Loooooooved being in his head. I am elated to read the the attraction was definitely on his end as well. Creatively asking questions to Lauren to get information about Bella. Which she, as she should professionally, pretty much offered nothing. She did let him know the important part though, her books tour and Chicago. She will be quite shocked to see him there. Wonder if he should research the quote she left for him in the book? I bet it holds another meaning. Very good chapter.

Awwww, that was a wonderful first meeting. His confusion at her silence. Their immediate attraction to one another. Then coming across each other again and the coffee shop. Her wanting to injure Lauren for flirting with him. Then ultimately running away from him. At least she knows where he is. Although, it sounds like she will be away from Seattle for quite some time. Time enough for Lauren to make her move. I hope he doesn't want Lauren, since Bella basically told him he wouldn't see her again.
