XIII Elias
- [ ] Oh man this soul catcher means serious business. Perhaps she can help Elias somehow?

XIV Helene
- [ ] This is why they sent Helene, she knows him so well
- [ ] Also is Hannah stupid! Honestly why would she be happy to be with Marcus? For the title? But I am glad it wasn’t Livy

XV Laia
- [ ] Who cut the rope! Keenan?! Efrit?
- [ ] I am not liking Keenan one bit

XVI Elias
- [ ] Oh man poor Elias, poor Helene, poor everyone! Except Keenan, still think he cut the rope. Don’t know how but he did, I feel it!

XVII Laia
- [ ] Well that didn’t go as smoothly as they hoped. Hopefully Afya will help them

XVIII Elias
- [ ] Damn Mamie Rila knows how to intimidate when she wants to!
- [ ] Super happy to see them together but I hope she will be safe from Helene and the guards.

XIX Helene
- [ ] You go Mamie Rila, you start a riot for Elias, I definitely would as well
- [ ] I don’t think Helene will be able to capture and take him to the Emperor

XX Laia
- [ ] Oh no! How will he escape Helene? I doubt she would let him escape a second time right?
- [ ] Also I found it so cute when they started pulling funny faces to make each other Laugh! 😜

XXI Elias
- [ ] Wait is his family dead???!
- [ ] Also how hard it must have been for Helene! To watch and see him and then to see him escape. She is going to figure out he is dying

XXII Laia
- [ ] Gosh I really hope his family survived!
- [ ] But I am proud of Laia for helping him out, even if it’s just a small quote her nan used to tell her

XXIII Elias
- [ ] Two months! Oh no! I hope he can get Darin out. I don’t think Laia willbe too happy to hear he is gone
- [ ] Also Keenan is super creepy now, sneaking up on Elias. Really suspicious indeed!

XXIV Helene
- [ ] Hmmm we are making progress with Harper now. Don’t know if I fully trust him yet, but we will see
- [ ] Also I hope her family is safe. Seems like everything is against her
- [ ] Can’t believe two children were killed! And Helene ordered Dex to do the interrogation including using the children! How sick is that!
- [ ] Glad Mamie Rila is safe, but for how long?
- [ ] Man this is getting good!

(it's so strange, i swear i commented on this thread and replied to you... but there's no comment.... weird haha).

I KNOW. i know that she's spoilt and clearly a little messed up after seeing her big sister become... well, badass as hell, but still! Hannah doesn't understand how dangerous and mad Marcus is... i'm SURE he'll be an abusive husband and i highly doubt Hannah will be happy with her life with him. i honestly feel bad for her, but thank god it wasn't Livy.

Who cut the rope! Keenan?! Efrit? I am not liking Keenan one bit.

ahh yeah that freaked me out, i have no idea who it could've been! i don't know why Keenan would have done it... but yes you're totally right, Keenan is super sus and i think i hate him haha. in my previous comment that didn't save, i'm pretty sure 80% of the comment was me complaining and hating on Keenan haha. he's really annoying me, and if Elias is getting suspicious vibes off him then i'm getting them too. i trust Elias' gut... plus it's weird that Keenan can track and sneak up on Elias, given Elias is a Mask! i reckon Keenan isn't Keenan... i think he's an efrit or something. just a theory!

You go Mamie Rila, you start a riot for Elias, I definitely would as well

YES HAHA love Mamie Rila, i hope she's ok, she deserves the world! she was so great.

Also I found it so cute when they started pulling funny faces to make each other Laugh!

yesss so cute! love it. go die, Keenan!

Wait is his family dead???!
Also how hard it must have been for Helene! To watch and see him and then to see him escape. She is going to figure out he is dying


no i don't think they'd dead, just captured. but now Helene might torture them... oh Helene baby, i'm both disappointed and understanding. i know why she has to do it... but it's breaking my heart.
and yes, i reckon Helene will work out that he's been poisoned, she's smart.

Two months! Oh no! I hope he can get Darin out. I don’t think Laia willbe too happy to hear he is gone.
Also Keenan is super creepy now, sneaking up on Elias. Really suspicious indeed!


i know, only two months, i'm really worried! and Laia is definitely going to be mad as hell and very worried for him... i hope they're reunited soon. i can't believe Elias left Laia alone with Keenan, we definitely can't trust him, this scene was definitely suspicious!

can't wait for the next set, i'll read it soon hopefully!

100% agree with you! She clearly has very serious jealousy problems with her sister. Although I can't remember clearly but did the family chose Helene to enter the Academy ? or was she forcibly chosen as well? I have a feeling she was forced to, so Hannah can hardly blame her for being who she is as she was not given a choice!
But you are right, Marcus will definitely be abusive. I am so surprised he agreed to it so quickly when he clearly wants Helene.

Keenan is super sus and i think i hate him haha. in my previous comment that didn't save, i'm pretty sure 80% of the comment was me complaining and hating on Keenan haha. he's really annoying me, and if Elias is getting suspicious vibes off him then i'm getting them too. i trust Elias' gut... plus it's weird that Keenan can track and sneak up on Elias, given Elias is a Mask! i reckon Keenan isn't Keenan... i think he's an efrit or something. just a theory!

Man I wished that comment saved, I would loved to have read your thoughts on Keenan! XD Yep I trust Elias guts as well, and yes total sus, especially since he can sneak up on Elias, plus track him. Not even Helene tracked him so quickly and spot on! There is something weird about him. He could totally be an efrit!

no i don't think they'd dead, just captured. but now Helene might torture them... oh Helene baby, i'm both disappointed and understanding. i know why she has to do it... but it's breaking my heart.

I agree, its so sad to see her having to act a certain way because she is Blood Shrike. Its so heartbreaking and frustrating to see.

i know, only two months, i'm really worried! and Laia is definitely going to be mad as hell and very worried for him... i hope they're reunited soon. i can't believe Elias left Laia alone with Keenan, we definitely can't trust him, this scene was definitely suspicious!

Me too! Especially since he is already suspcious of Keenan, can't believe he left her with him. But I get it. He would work faster and wouldn't have to worry about her if he quickly finds and gets Darin out. I just worry the soul-catcher would make him visit the spirit realm more often now.

Can't wait to read more! Super pumped! I will read more today.

hmm i can't quite remember either, but i think she was forced to go, just like Elias... it's so stupid that Hannah is jealous, you're right! and yes, but i'm sure Marcus has something evil up his sleeve, i hate him :/

i'll hopefully read the next set tomorrow, can't wait!
