Starting line: “There,” she said finally, lowering her hands and letting her spell dissipate. “That should give us enough time to leave.”
Ending line: And then I slept.
Darling: The carpet beneath me was a dark wine color, the color of pooling blood and spilled dreams. We had joked about the carpet, David and I. Had considered putting a similar color in our house. That was before we’d known how they’d gotten that color – how many people had choked out their last breath to make it so vivid. How many final moments were woven into the threads.

If Sapph ever speaks to me again, it will be a miracle. Seriously.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adr_forte and barlidoc told me I made it too easy on her in the first book. So I fixed it.
Boy, oh boy. She's...well, ladies, I hope she never meets you in a dark alley. :-P
I'm sending this out today to my beta readers. Take your red pens to it.
Now I'm wiped. This writing stuff is hard work!

Machine couldn't go fast enough for me, and I still answered all the questions.
It's a good book. I enjoyed it (despite the fact I couldn't get into my own writing afterwards). I came to love Sapph after disliking the stuck up little rich girl she was. Mind you loved her attitude with Vinnie. I felt the same curiosity with James, shared her pain and comfort with David.
I better not say more - let the others catch up :P
Made a few passing comments, promise to do more indepth ones - if I can find anything to criticize.
