Steven knew getting passed him - past him
Excellent use of high-impact verbs in the action/fight sequence
Don't worry, honey, - add the first comma
Quiet...said the goon who kick him - kicked
Excellent use of dialogue

Thank you Brooke. But I keep struggling with the words passed and past and when I looked them both up, it said that passed meant to extend or go beyond. And past meant, from behind or something that was over, done with. Can you help me here? So, I felt the one I wanted was "passed" which meant to get beyond the guard and into the room. Brooke "HELP!"
-
passed is the past tense of pass - so you use it as a verb
He passed by the window.
He passed her the potatoes.
He passed on ten years ago.
He passed the tests back to the students.
Examples of past:
The dementia patient lives in the past.
He remembers his past lives, or so he claims
She regretted the mistakes in her past.
She wonders what exists past the horizon.

I teach things like this in my SPAG class :-)

Thank you Brooke for clearing that up. Ok, I'll change it to past.

I'm not a big fan of this particular genre. But this particular chapter had power, imagery, pace, edgy conflict. The writing rocked me. One thing: her month, should be 'mouth.' Sizzling writ. Stan

Willing human sacrafices are hard to come by. This is very well written with excellent mystery and suspense. There is very good imagery.

Comment from Apostate
It's good supernatural/urban/fantasy adventure.
Pity the villains aren't the good guys. Reading a book where Hernan Cortez is portrayed with only his bad side showing. He had many stirling virtues and he made history . . . ahhh well, I digress. Terrible habit.
I could see this on display at Border's or Barnes and Noble.

Forgive my meandering style - I have a bee in my bonnet about good villains. Hey, Darth Vader had a heart, you know?
