Status Updates From Clashing Tempest (Men of My...

loving the twists in the story. i think i can tell how it will finish but wow what a ride. vampires & mermen. Wonderful.

Not the end I would have wanted but the best possible ending. Makes it hard to stay angry with the author.

Im going to finish this book tonight...this is all kinds of wrong!!!!!

It keeps surprising me. Im gonna end up believing all these mermen tales.
I am also looking into having a bigger bathtub, to keep my very own mermen in there ;)

I have a feeling this is going to be a HUGE WTH!? book (in a good way)...Damn you Brandon!

The interactions between Catlin, Schwint and Pewlet, I mean Newton have me howling with laughter! Can't say I'm that interested in Brett's story right now, but I know it will all tie in.. I'm much more anxious about Finn and the gang,and even Sonia.

Well. I ..just....

I should have left Finn alone. Never involved him in any of this. Never loved him. Never hurt him.
Stop."
What could be expected from the offspring of a demon? Of the grandchild of a rape?
Stop." Therin's voice cur through my thoughts. His tone harsh.
Commanding.

The ocean was worse off with me in it. Just like the de Moriscos had been.

Well. Just. Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were all aware of how I felt about Wrell. Even Nalu. Only Lelas spoke of it with me. Thankfully.
Id expected Therin to give me a lecture about my inappropriate feelings weeks ago. Remind me of my promise to Syleen. So far, he hadn't. It seemed we really had turned a corner in our relationship.

"Yes, my prized bull. You have been the best breeder I've had. Your offspring have been the purest of any we've had in centuries."
My mind played catch-up entirely too late. Offspring. Offspring. The merman's children.

The merman was having children to be devoured by the vampires.

Schwint's hand returned and continued up my chest, snaking around my neck, then pulling me down to him, our lips nearly touching. Still, he pushed into me, the angle making it where he nearly slipped out before sliding in again. "I love you, Finn."

As he forced his tongue inside, his motives became crystal clear. I wasn't the only one trapped here. Not the only one terrified. Not the only one angry and powerless. However, we did have each other.

I managed to use my power to contact Caitlin, who was still in hiding with Newton, though I didn't let Gwala know that. Undoubtedly. he already knew they were close and was waiting to use them as pawns as surely as Cynthia and Schwint.

I came and watched over her several times a day, as often as I could when I wasn't with Omar or Gwala. I'd begged countless times for the king to let me speak to her. I didn't even need to have a long conversation. I just needed to let her know I was here. That she wasn't alone. It was always the same thing. "Once you've earned Omar's approval of your magical capabilities, we will discuss it."

Cynthia was surrounded by more riches and luxury than she'd ever known. Even the clothes they dressed her in reeked of expense. She looked healthy and well taken care of in her golden prison....
And every inch as trapped as Rapunzel in her tower.

He gave another smile. "One of the many reasons I require such powerful witches to be employed by the Cathedral."
Finn again. She didn't point out that he would hardly qualify as an employee. She was relieved to realise that, while there may be some residual concern for Brett, she had no such emotions about his boyfriend. Finn's fate mattered not.

"So how do you convince the mers to produce offspring if they are aware of the consequences?"

"My dearest Sonia, you are to be my queen. I have reigned in solitude too long. You have reminded me what companionship feels like."

"So different from Menos, yet there is so much of her in you. I believe she has returned to me in a different form." His gaze wandered off into the distance, unfocused over Sonia's shoulder, lost in a world so many centuries ago.

Wrell's eyes followed the movement of my body, even pausing to observe the movement of my cock as I shifted. I looked carefully for some spark of desire. Something more than his ever-reserved curiosity.

All hostility from the mers had vanished as soon as Laban had acknowledged Lelas and Nalu's relationship. Apparently we were now family.

Nooo!!! I have to go to bed. Happy 2014 from this Aussie reader who is no longer coherent

Every so often, Schwint would run his fingertips through my hair form where he drifted above me. More often, my hand would rise of its own accord and find the small of his back or his waiting fingers, wordlessly give me reassurance and keeping me from diving full speed into the waves of terror that kept threatening to crash over me.
