So... I'll be updating a real chapter soon as I finish typing said chapter but I wanted to get this out here.

That said... at this point... I feel like maybe some of you do not read the A/n's or probably the minor details in this story because I'm still getting questions like how old people are (not asking about Faith/Andy)? I feel like anyone reading should have basic reasoning skills... so I don't need to write like you're reading off some dating profile.

BUT, THEN AGAIN.

If more than like three or four people are asking the same question that means I'm probably not writing something clear enough which is why comments are so helpful.

So... since it's not clear by the pictures I've posted previously, or descriptive writing, Danny's oldest children are: Leslie 18, Lydia 17, and Lia is 16.

I HAVE posted this picture below, maybe three or four times BEFORE posting it again here so... uhm...

So... the pictures I post are important... they say how old the people are here.

AND FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE, AND HAVING ALL CHARACTERS IN ONE POST... HERE YOU GO :)

THESE TWO LADIES ARE THE TWO GRANDMOTHERS IN THE STORY. I ASKED ON FACEBOOK WHO SOME OF YOU PICTURE FROM DESCRIPTIONS WHICH WAS INTERESTING TO SEE. FOR ME THIS IS WHO I SEE WHEN I WRITE, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S WHO EVERYONE IMAGINES... EVEN WITH ALL THE PICTURES I'VE POSTED I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THAT'S JUST NOT WHO PEOPLE IMAGINE WHICH IS AMAZING TO ME.

THIS LAST ONE IS ANTONE... LIKE WHEN I WRITE HIM OF THINK OF HIM THIS IS WHO I COME UP WITH. AS FOR JONAH, I'M STILL STUCK.. I KIND OF SEE JUST AN OLDER VERSION OF ANSEL IN A WAY... 

NOW FOR A FEW Q/A's:

I just realized something, all these girls are catalysts, Chelsea walked into Gabriel's life & everything spun out of control, at the end they found new/better families. Sawyer walked in Derby with one purpose but turned the town upside down and created a very strong pack. Oakely's actions led to exposing the truth & forcing Pat to wake up. Faith saved a life & skeletons are popping out closets, evil is showing itself & I hope she comes up on top. You are pretty much summing up one of the big themes over the whole series...

I really enjoy this book, don't get me wrong, but there is just so much happening at once... First we had the anonymous person that was trying to kill Talia, then we had the issues with the couples ( Brennan and Devin, Javier and Talia ). Not to mention the mystery behind who/where Taylor got the money from, and who she was talking to on the phone when Imogen walked by her room. Now we have the issues with Cynthia. More over throughout all of this we see many obstacles brought upon Faith. It is a very interesting story, but it almost feels as if I'm always waiting for the next chapter and then as soon as I'm finished reading it I feel like I need more. The author has done a great job at keeping me hooked but it almost seems as if the story it spiraling in too many directions at once to keep track of. Which I guess that could be one of the distinguishing facts about this book. I know I'm probably gonna get a bunch of hate, so before you attack me please know that I really do like this book and enjoy reading it I just wish we had a little bit more closure on some of the earlier problems and more of the main character point of view, especially with faith and samson. This is an awesome comment, thank you for taking the time to write it BTW.

So my answer is... the story isn't mainly about Faith. I mean she's the big part, but she came into a family that's kinda disconnected even though they are pretty awesome.Silas died, and they each went about dealing with it in their own way. Samson shut down and only started turning to Taylor because he didn't think she was into him. So I know you'd like more closure but I think part of that has to do with the way you see that there are 80 parts to this story and you probably unconsciously think okay she's either going to rush it or nothing else should happen before there is closure. The problem with doing that... If I have anything solved the way you'd like, it wouldn't be good writing. You'd be able to tell that I just wanted to get it done and wrote something crappy. With me, I like to really solve my problems with a way that rings a bit true. There's no way for me to just close Taylors problem so quickly or the person that hurt Talia. Especially since, Faith as only been in Bend for like six months. Everything is going as planned for me, and since you guys are reading as I update I know it's frustrating which is why I'm trying to update faster, but still.

I do understand that it may look like it's spiraling but again, that's because you're reading it as a WIP and I cannot just fix everything quickly because again it'd suck and I cannot just tell you where it's heading because that's not writing to me, that's giving you a summary.

Their Kids are just as blind and oblivious as Danny is. IN a way, YES. But again, if you think about it, this was bound to be something that came out. Why? because most of the family lives closer to Ansel, but Danny and Cynthia always kept their distance in a way. Now... because they cannot get Ansel to give them more money, they've come closer... I hate giving spoilers, but with Cynthia, she needed that distance.

.

.

what she seriously has that whole family in her hands...i believe what kalenah said i few chapters ago...he was a target...what if Cynthia was the one who killed his first wife. Kalenah was spot on. Danny was a target, a grieving individual that she wormed her way in on, but she didn't kill his first wife. They were actually attacked.

.

.

.

She has to have a spell on him. He seems VERY logical. I know people wish that it was just an immediate thing, but she's been with Danny for YEARS... the pain he's in, is just like an addict going through withdrawals and he doesn't even know it or recognize it, but Ansel does... I will say that.

I think I saw this movie. Is it lifetime? Haha! OMG Yes! He had a family up in the mountains and she thought that he was a traveling Sales man LOL but in reality he had this wife and family. Their son was sick, and one day the husband just disappeared so she tracks him down and learns all of this.

.

.

.

He was under a spell but it's wearing off bc Mary put a plant/spell around the room that makes Cynthia unable to use her magic yes, but Cynthia used her time to think of something else. She wrote the spell.

Anyways... I'm off to finish typing the next chapter :)
