A very good story my good friend. The love of your sisterhood had kept me alive. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you don't take this wrong. I respect marriage and would never do anything to cause problem with your husband. Thank you for this awesome poem.

Comment from Sloegin
A really well written chapter. Dynamite ending. I'd make a few changes, nothing to change your voice:
"the skateboarder on a collision course with his body" change BODY for HIM
"He pulled out his hankie" men carry handkerchiefs.
""What you got, shit for brains?!" move the comma,"What, you got shit for brains?"
I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Hi, Sloegin. Thank you for shaping up those sections for me. You really nailed it with that quote. I knew it was off somehow, and now I know how to fix it LOL. Thanks for the great review and support. Warm regards, Bev
Comment from Eleanor Buron
At no moment did I lose interest in this chapter. The characters are fleshed out and perform well. The dialog moves the action along. Description is well done. This is skilled writing. I had no problem moving into the setting and watch the chapter unfold.

Comment from jadapenn
Hiya Bev, I've missed this good story of yours. It seems we've got a lot of action going on and this Eddie is certainly a bit of a puzzlement. I really felt sorry for Stanley. He was most upset about Debra. Well written, friend. Keep it going and I'll try to keep reading. luv jada

Comment from psalmist
There is such a difference between reading for pleasure and reading with reviewing in mind. I have decided I am going to enjoy your book like any book I would choose from the library and wrap myself in the story. You make that easy to do. However, it is also frustrating, because I want to continue on, but have to wait for your next post, lol.
Great job with Stan's character. I immediately felt his pain and sense of loss. Also, Eddie gave me shivers as I felt his total lack of compassion and his revulsion for fellow human beings. Well done as always. Linda

Hi, Linda. Thank you for this wonderfully encouraging review. I appreciate the way you've stuck with the story. And I promise to get the chapters out closer together. No classes to get in my way now!
I'm glad you felt you got to know Stanley in this chapter. It was suggested elsewhere that I'd sort of wasted time on that part of the chapter. But, in writing a novel, there's not the instant fixes that, even I, admit to liking. So, you are kind to be so patient with me.
Hugs, Bev
Comment from juliaSjames
Although this is well-written, Bev, I'm not sure how Stanley and the gang fit into the storyline. Maybe I missed something in the earlier chapters.
But the cutaway to the mysterious Eddie is sensational. A demon masquerading as human. Fantastic ending to a rather puzzling chapter.

Hi, jj. Stanley is connected to Debra, as I mention midway, who was the first victim. That connection is crucial to succeeding chapters.
Thanks for reading and for your insightful comments.
Warm regards, Bev

Yeah, I guessed as much, Bev. I still think you spent a little too much time on the get together. But I'm prepared to eat my words depending on what unfolds later. LOL

Comment from Misrael
That was a rather unusual mystery and crime story but not as bad as I have read in the past. Although it could change I am sure and get worse but that is to be expected with that sort of story. Good read, good job and keep on writing.

Interesting! The characterization is what stood out to me, you do such a great job with it in this piece! You also have me hooked and wanting to know more, so I can form my own theories about what happens next! Good job!

Comment from JW
Overall, this is a well written chapter. It does a good job of progressing your storyline, while holding their interest and leaving them with a hook that makes them wonder what's next.
Good job. JW

red impala - Impala - a brand name
You convey the feeling of anxiety and panic of Stanley well in your opening paragraphs
Compelling use of dialogue that conveys strong emotions
What a grim and chilling final section from Greg's point of view. Brooke
