Hi! I enjoyed this story. THe story seemed really good, and I found it interesting. What you reveal of the chracters was good. Not too much, but enough. THe dialogue was good; I could picture it happening. I really thought this had potential, which is why I gave it a four with all of the mistakes. Gerat job!
Connelly's Light brick mansion>light brick
"Oh, how interesting." Reece said, and shook his hand>....how interesting," Reece said
the early nineteenth century." Dr. Connelly continued>needs a comma, not a period
"Very well Reece. Can I have >Very well, Reece.
"Universal Psychic Conference, It's world-wide.> Needs a period if the It's is going to be capitalized. Not sure which way you were going with this sentence in that regard.
"You mean it's that many Psychics in the world?">Is the character speaking in slang? Otherwise IT's that many doesn't make sense...should be are since there's more than one
"That may change." Reece said regretfully.
>comma, not period
afraid of," doc interrupted, "people trusting you."
>Doc
ignorance, you say?' Doc interrupted>needs double quotes
"Listen," Reece continues, "do you know how many cases, I>continued
By contacting the dead and have them tell me who killed them...."
>having them tell me
Hahahahaha", doc laughed hysterically>Doc
"Hahahahahahahaha" Doc couldn't help himself.
>needs a comma
quiet luxury street onto the hectic highway>luxurious might be a better word

Thank you for reading and giving suggestions. I made the changes. I'm puzzled, though, about putting a comma between "Very well and Reece. Can you explain that more. Also Luxury street, like luxury yacht, or luxury hotel.
-
As far as I understand it, you ploace a comma before a person's given name, or even a title: Yes, Sir. Hi, Sam. IF you say so, Mike. et cetera. Okay, I get what you're saying about the Luxury street, amahra. It sounds weird to me. I've never heard of people calling anything a luxury street. Probably just me!
-
Ok, I'll put the comma there; I just needed to know. Luxury street just means that everything on it is expensive, houses, etc. If I say luxurious street, than I'd be talking about the street. And I'm not talking about the street. Thank you for your Hawk eyes. If you remember any more changes, please let me know. I appreciate you.

his fourth snicker bar - Snickers bar
Excellent description of setting creates mood well
I hope you didn't mind my being so inquisitive. - add period
I'm really impressed with you, Reece - add comma for direct address
Don't be so impressed with me, Doctor Connelly - add comma
You do an excellent job of conveying the emotions and attitudes of speakers in your dialogue. Brooke

Thank you so much. I made the corrections. Just so you'd know, Part III and Part IV has been written and ready for posting. PartII was just too long, so I cut it down.
Comment from WilliamDeen
Good story. Look forward to part three. The story, characters, and dialogue is interesting. The reads well and moves forward at a good pace. Two things.
You wrote: "Oh, not at all, MS Weatherbee."
Should it be?" "Oh, not at all, Ms. Weatherbee."
You wrote: "You mean, you guys know each other?" Reece chuckled at Doc's surprise."
Need to remove the quotation marks from the end of the sentence.
Good Work!

Comment from MizKat
Amarha - Wow this is a good chapter of your book. I enjoyed every word of it. I wouldn't mind reading more of it when it comes out. Bravo on a job well done. Kat
One tiny error:
Steven looked on curiosly(curiously)- forgot the 'u'.

Thank you Kat. It's not a book. I Wish! lol I'm not there yet. But it is a short story. You may be happy to know that Part III and Part IV has already been written and ready for posting if Part II goes well. And I will make that correction.
-
Too bad, it would make a good book. Maybe you can keep writing and make it into one. Kat

I am very intrigued with this well written story and am looking forward to the next chapter. You have believable characters and I liked the conversation between them. Well done. Blessings, chey

Excellent writing,really takes you in.I think Steven will become a 'believer',if these happening's continue.As far as I can see[from only reading this one chapter],you do good character development,and carry your storyline through. I would definitely give your book a read.

The Glass Cat Eye- Part II was an interesting read. You have a great imagination and it shows in your writings. There are a few grammar problems and I'm the worst to point this out because I make a lot of the same mistakes. But in areas it is hard to read. Re-read and check your commas. Nice part II and I will read you again.

You have to tell me where they are so I can fix it. That's what others have done here.
Comment from Veekz
Yay!!! I have been waiting for this installment since December! But I can't believe you're making me wait for part three now! Lol :)
I like how the story has followed through with Reece being sent by the board of psychic's and I'm very interested to hear what it was that caused the panic with Steven in the basement - my heart was pounding away reading that part!
Once little fix up:
"Not really. I went to one of her seances. I don't believe in that nonsense, but I attended to convince my friend that she was nothing more than a phony. But I failed.

Nice, creepy ending! Love the story and your characters. There were a few punctuation bloopers here and there, but nothing too serious. Keep up the great work.
