I just finished reading Betrayal and I am so mad that Goth did not die in the end and he got out! I so wanted him to die! I am sure he does eventually but I wanted him dead in the first book lol

I already have gone and bought the other 2 books because I did not want to finish Betrayal and then have to wait to read the next one, I am looking forward to reading it should be interesting.

Thank you for such a good read with Betrayal Fiona, it was so easy to read and kept me very interested! great book I will be recommending it to people i know!

Hooray! Thank you TJ - do love a happy reader. Now, just so that you know your instincts are absolutely on the mark, I too wanted Goth dead by the close of Betrayal and in fact I had crafted his nasty end. The publisher, however, had other ideas. They wanted Goth to go on because of the very reason you describe.....the reader can't bear that he's still alive and is determined to see him face a nasty finish to his hopeless life. And so like a bad smell the very nasty Goth hangs around I'm afraid but it does help intensify your lust for his blood. Keep enjoying the tale and thanks so much for buying Revenge and Destiny. F

I finally registered but I registered 2 because I did not think it worked the first time! lol

I started reading Revenge last night and have kept on reading it today, I am glad I had today off work so I could read it! it has drawn me in already, although I can not say I am happy about the king and Alyssandra going to get married?? *cries* Tor and her belong together and I know that she thinks her husband is dead but it is not fair I tell ya!!! ok ok i am sure the book with twist to another turn of events at least this is what I am hoping for and so I will not cry just yet, although it is great she will become queen she just should not be with the king!! no no no!! lol I am enjoying revenge just as much as I did Betrayal!! thanks Fiona!

Hey TJ So Revenge has you. Great! Is it any consolation that I've had more threat mail about Lorys and Alyssa than anything else? It has really upset a lot of people but it's also quite a real situation. I never think when I'm writing a story that I'm crafting fiction. I'm actually living it, seeing it unfold a bit like a movie and I truly believe that Alyssa is so lost, so vulnerable, so betrayed that it would be quite easy to fall under the spell of someone as charismatic as Lorys. Forget that he's a King, he's actually a good man - his flaw being his weakness towards other women and his weakness with Goth and the Inquisitors. His love for Alyssa is very genuine. And knowing her husband is dead, knowing there is nothing else for her except to go forwards, make a new life, it's a very natural progression. It happens all the time in everyday life - I'm forever surprised to hear how many women or men lose their partner whom they love very much and yet fall in love quite quickly again. Anyway, I know you want everlasting love for Tor and Alyssa. All I can say is keep reading - there are twists aplenty coming. Keep enjoying! F

Oh yes Revenge has me in it's grasps! I have not wanted to put it down, but of course have had too!

Oh and although I did not really like the idea of them to be wed, I also did like it I felt sad for Tor and for Aylssa because they could not be together that was my only regret and after so long thinking her husband is dead it is only natural for her to want to move on and want and need to be loved again I could understand her characters feelings.

however I liked the love hate relationship you built with the king and Aylssa, I have never disliked the king to be honest I mean he only was doing what he was taught as a ruler as most kings do and he is a good man with only his kingdoms people in his heart which is beautiful to see in this book I do not see him as a bad king, and am looking forward to reading what happens when Aylssa actually becomes Queen I believe it will make it interesting indeed considering her views are so very different from that of king Lorys! I like how you have added the twist in there.

I am sad I wont get to see the lovers together but hey you cant always get what you want! I will be happy enough to see Goth dead! hahaha you have done well with your characters i believe!

I dont think that small twist of events warranted threat/hate mail though?? *laughs* I mean it makes the book that much more interesting given that it is not expected. not the usual type thing so I like that about it too. guess it depends on your perception and how you read it and the feelings it envokes in each individual. *shrugs*
