I absolutely love your version of Sherlock Holmes with Renadale. I read the series for the first time about 3 or 4 years ago and am now re reading them. I love your work but I just wanted to point out that in this chapter you have Renadale debate whether she should tell Sherlock that he is the first man she has ever kissed. However, I remember from "Kisses of Ten" she has already told him this at the end of the story. She also already told Holmes she had been in love before him although in this book she seems to tell him for the first time. I believe what happened was you went back and changed certain aspects in the first book but didn't change them in the following books. I noticed this a bit in this book. Moments where Renadale would say something to Holmes or state something only to later on tell Holmes again as if she hadn't already told him or for her to question something she's already established. I just think ( if you have the time) you need to go over your books again and really align all your details. I don't mean to be rude I just absolutely loved this series when I first read it and wanted to re-read it but I'm noticing a few inconsistencies in Renadale's thinking or events that happen. Anyways I can't wait for more in book 5 as you're currently still writing that and I of course with anticipation wait for a new update :)

I have just recently begun to read Sherlock Holmes fanfiction and came across your stories. I am still partly speechless because I can't remember when was the last time I read such a good work. I read fanfiction since over fifteen years and yours is outstanding.
Sure you do have mistakes in writing and switch words ( I am not native english so I don't complain about that) but I can ignore it easily.
You must have done a lot of research and thinking to get the stories so complex. The characters are logic in itself. I admit, that I sometimes struggle to understand Rena because she is most sensitive and fast with her tears but I think that defines her development.
At first I was a little bit frustrated with the two lovebirds because I often thought Rena just jump him ;) (I would have done it) but I am really glad you take a much slower pace. It's much more interesting and believing. I tend to forget that they live in a complete different time. It's not the time of Tony Stark, where you can jump each other at first sight but it's a time, where people don't wear their sexlife on their tongue. It is so foreign to me, that it makes the stories even better, because you never forget where they life and in which time.
I am glad to have three more stories to go and try to enjoy it as much as I can, because everything that will follow can't be as good.

I am writing short stories and tried on books (in german) but I have a more personal question to your work.
How do you start such a complex work? Do you at first do a lot of research and prepare the peoples characters, the locations and the crime? Or do you have it all in your head and just start to write? I am just interested because that is something I am struggling with myself everytime I start something new.

Thank you very much for your hard work, I really enjoy it. And never forget, to metion, that I am melting whenever you metion those deep brown eyes ;)

Love this. Congrats on a well written story!

Love it!

Heh, its yet another wrench in the works that Adkins actually likes this Edward fellow. I hate the name, reminds me of the douche from Twilight. That and I want Holmes to get the girl so I just don't like him terribly much even if he does seem charming and a nice guy. Maybe he's gay? I wouldn't be surprised.

I really hope this story doesn't turn into one giant romantic story though. Mystery and crime with a healthy side of romance is nice. Romance and angst with some crime thrown in not so much (IMO). Still will keep reading. You are quite talented :)

Adkins does not have the gift of the silver tounge. I could have come up with a half dozen different ways to explain the 'date' at the party that would have not left Holmes so upset. Adler and our girl being contrary is quite entertaining. Hope to see more of that

Its all kinds of funny how 'Dale just ran out of the hat store and left Irene so she could run home and try on her pageboy hat. She's so eccentric, I guess that's why she works well with Holmes... two semi nutters who are socially inept and quite brilliant.

The realizations of life and it's situations...when suffering through, pushing past and reaching higher... When sought out and embracing the light, joys and lessons learned in life create a beautiful beginning..a beautiful being as it may!

Bravo! My Dear!

My heart just broke. This is brilliant!
