PretenderTwelve years after Carthis, the death of a dear friend reunites predator and prey. *If adultery bothers you, click elsewhere or prepare to be bothered.
This is so good that i can barely stand it! Work has been pushed back and now i want to finish this all in one gulp. Just when i think things are getting on track, you turn it all on its head. It is just so easy for me to see this playing out the way you have described it, so totally credible and as far from sappy as you can get .
Reviewer: jacci SignedThis just gets worse and worse, or is that better and better? I can't tell. Loving that it is worse, but want it to get better! I am so torn as to how i want this all to turn out, and almost afraid to push on, and eager at the same time. this is the most fascinating and compelling read i have had in ... forever!
Reviewer: jacci SignedChrist on a cracker, this is just so good!
That chapter was just brutal, and i am balling my eyes out. I love how you have turned this around. Usually i am all sympathetic towards jarod, all he has lost and suffered, and now it is parker who i feel that way about. I love this unique and original take on the whole story and although this feels so 'real', i want it to all work out and half of me believes that it never can, never could!

Just when i think it can't get any worse! OMG, my heart was in my mouth the whole time in this chapter. I want to shake Jarod for being such a bloody-minded fool, and part of me doesn't blame him at all. So much damage there that you can never truly get over.
Almost too scared to read the next chapter, yet am totally compelled at the same time.
This is masterful story telling!
Reviewer: jacci SignedDamn you Mirage, you have made me cry so hard now i can barely read the words!
This is such a wonderful find, I am just so glad i found it, and it has been so damn good!
Reviewer: jacci SignedThis is just heartbreaking! I don't want to read any more (she says as she rushes thru this review to get to the next chapter).
I totally love the idea of Jarod self-destructing, as i have always believed that is ineveiatable given his past, and you do it so beautifully here.
Reviewer: jacci Signed
That was an intense chapter and i am so glad someone has finally addressed some of the choices Catherine made. How could Parker not be pissed about it?
Reviewer: jacci Signed
there has to be more!
This was so unbelievably good, I could barely stand it!
Never have I been so completley on Parker's side as I am usually a Jarod-girl, all the way and think that he deserves better than Parker treats him, and now you have managed to turn that all on its head! Damn you! You are clearly evil!
Thanks you for reading and for all the lovely reviews, Mitress Jacci. There will be more, though, I truly fear the remainder won't come close to meeting anyone's expectatations and if you think I'm evil now- mm, that doesn't bode well. Maybe it won't be too bad. Thanks again.
Reviewer: jacci SignedJarod wants something more.
I don't know what i was expecting from that, and i am not sure if I got what I wanted or did not! You are evil. Beautifully written and so easy to imagine this is exactly how it would go. I liked the raw honesty about it, and there was almost a tender brutality too.
Thank you, Mistress Jacci, for reading and reviewing. It's a strange ficlet, there's no resolve and I'm not even a Parker-Jarod shipper. Evil, you say? Well thank you. Coming from you (Miss-drunk-fruit- and I still wait for that update), I consider that a compliment. Haha. Thanks again. And thanks for this fabulous website. It's lovely.

In 1996 a television series known as The Pretender splashed onto the scene as NBC’s highest testing series concept since Bonanza. For some 12 years since its premature cancellation, legions of worldwide fans have patiently awaited for its return.
Now, in the form of a fully original, mystery thriller novel, The Pretender - Rebirth marks the exciting return of Jarod, Miss Parker, Sydney and the nefarious, clandestine activities of The Centre.

This is certainly an exciting and intruiging start! How convenient that there are no hints about Miss Parker or Jarod, guess I am going to have to buy the book after all! Only a few more sleeps before we can find out all the secrets you have in store for us!
thank you for this little tasty appetiser and for what is forthcoming

The Tower had a Plan B when Jarod escaped, but seven years after being stolen from her family, Elizabeth finds herself at a turning point. Can a new friend show her a way out of the Centre's grasp?
Chapter Three: In which our young genius goes sneaking about, resulting in quite a knock out punch.
Finally got around to having a look at this. Intriguing start!
Well written and i just love how well reasoned the changes in socialiazition policy has come about.
Reviewer: jacci SignedThis is exceptionally well written and totally engaging. Michelle turning up was quite a surprise and makes it even more intrugiung as to where this might go. Can't believe i have let this sit here so long without looking at it!
Reviewer: jacci SignedAnother incredibly well-written chapter. You have been taking lessons from our beloved PTBs giving us mcuh without giving us anything! Cannot wait to see where this goes and how everyone fits it.
It is unusual for me to like original charcaters in Pretender stories, but i find myself here liking both Elizabeth and Patrick very much. I also really love that the Institute is 'legitimate' in almost everywhere, even while the shadow of the Centre looms over them.
Can't wait for more!
Thank you for the reviews! And more importantly, thank you for putting up with my earlier drafts and being my sounding board for figuring out all the angst. You are a great and powerful Beta- I am truly appreciative!

Reviewer: jacci SignedWhen you care enough to send the very best
That was, like everything you do, simply amazing. I absolutely loved it! A perfect Centre Christmas story.
Purely inspired Genius!
Thank you for reading and reviewing, Webmistress Jacci. I meant what I said on twitter: it would have been nice to see your holiday fic posted. Please update the drunk fruit fic.
Reviewer: jacci Signed Full circle- with a twist
The symmetry in this was absolutely sublime and heartbreaking. Can just imagine the entirety of this story unfolding. So beautifully captured.
Reviewer: jacci Signed 
OHHHHH, that was a fabulous twist. Had no idea what was going on and then bam! Freaking genius.
Been a very long time since i have read any tP stories, decided to troll though your body of work Mirage. you have such a way with words.
"Imperiled as you and I both are, Miss Parker,"
this is my new favourite line ever!
