Title: Chapter 4: Unknown (Part IV)
I was afraid I wasn't going to like this. I feared you were going in a darker Jarod direction so I'm relieved. For him to have sex with her now when she's there with in the first place because he abducted her would be wrong wrong wrong of him even if she offers herself naked to him on a silver platter. I like your darker evil Jarod novels when that's a part of the plot but right now he's his usual darkness and still good and I like it.
I need to say that I love how Jarod had planned to have one conversation with Ethan and then for him to lose control of the conversation. It shows Jarod's humanity and that he isn't always perfect. Makes him more relatable. I love how you show that Ethan has grown and come a long way and he took control of the conversation and held Jarod accountable. When it came down between allying with Jarod against his sister, Ethan chose to ally with his sister. Can't blame that. She never shot or took Jarod to the Centre but Jarod did abduct her.
LOVE Parker's thoughts about Jarod's own fears that he's chin-deep in. It just shows that he keeps trying to help others when he needs help and easily he could become an enabler even accidentally. Needing help, needing to help others and needing her because he loves her and he could let things slide to please her. They could bring each other down if they aren't careful, drown together. You keep it real and I've always loved that about your writing. Cate adds difficulties as children do. Bringing Catherine into this is a stroke of genius too. I can't wait to see what happens next. I never want this to end.
Author's Response: I know what you mean. On one hand, they are consenting adults. That said, it's complicated for hosts of reasons. If it were any man, I think it would have happened many chapters ago. I'm relieved that you don't want it to end. The conclusion is still quite a ways off. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Leslie.
