Hey! I'm curious, do you have any fics with Sam and the bois? If not, why not try something and treat yourself! Can be angst, fluff, literally anything- also I wanna know what that personality would be like 👀 also who is your favorite character?
I have one fsdnfnkdsfsk. It's just a morning with him sitting in the kitchen with the others. I know this is going to sound funny with how much I've written Tord on this blog, but I don't entirely have a favorite character. I just bounce between latching onto someone. Half the time it's Tord, Future Edd, Tom, or Red Leader.
Under a Read More since it's kinda longish. The yandere is mostly implied, with Tord saying he's taking Sam to a place where there's not a lot of people. venn= friend. bestevenn = best friend
____________________________________________
Mornings were…. An event for Sam. They hated getting up early, even when they had to do it for work. Though for work, it was fine. They’d get up and drink enough coffee to wake up before they had to go in and their job kept them too busy from really thinking about how tired they were.
Outside of work, however, getting up early was hell. Their sleep schedule was never the best although they’ve tried to fix it. So after they ignored four of the alarms they set, they finally got up for the sixth one.
They winced as their head throbbed and quickly shoved on one of their anime hoodies after they got dressed. Earrings could wait until they’ve had at least one mug of coffee.
“Oh hey Sam, good morning!”
“Mornin’ Edd,” Sam mumbles as they enter the kitchen. They shuffle straight towards the coffee pot, not once noticing the fond look Edd gives them. One of their favorite mugs, a Star Trek one, is already filled with coffee next to the pot.
Hurry up and don’t be grumpy when you get in my car
The note under their mug isn’t signed, but Sam rolls their eyes as they recognize the handwriting. Coffee’s still hot but since Tord poured it in not too long ago, it’s not hot enough to stop Sam from nearly chugging it.
“Soooooo, what has you up so early?”
Sam shrugs. They crumble up the note and sit at the kitchen table to groggily rub their eyes.
“Tord said he’d take me somewhere today. I think the mall? I’m not too sure but I remember he said that he saw a pair of earrings that I’d like. And you know he’s one of those freaky morning people who get up at ass o’clock to do shit like run so. Here I am.”
They drain half their mug of coffee before they groan and rest their head on their arms.
“I’m so tired,” Sam whines. “Coffee’s not kicking in fast enough.”
Edd laughs. “I’m sure you’ll buy an energy drink wherever you go. You always do.” He glances at their wrist but it’s void of any bracelet. “How are you uh, how are you feeling today? Anything in particular?”
“Hmmm…” Sam hums a little as they sit back up to drink their coffee. “They/he. Maybe. I feel good today. Just not she/her good. I tried to find the bracelet Matt made for days like these but I dunno where I put it.”
Edd nods and together, the both of them sit in silence for a few minutes.
“Oh wow, you’re up pretty early.”
“Mornin’ to you too Tom.”
There’s no heat in their tone so Tom ignores it. He plops down at the kitchen table next to Edd and drains his flask.
“Tom it’s literally eight in the morning. Eight.” Sam tells him.
“Quiet from the peanut gallery. You have coffee, I have this,” Tom shakes his flask a little at them before he gets back up to wash it out in the sink.
Sam rolls their eyes and finishes his mug.
“Sammy! You’re alive and awake so early!” Matt exclaims as he zeros in on Sam. He plops down into the seat next to them.
“Oh my god why is everyone so surprised I’m out here right now?”
“It’s because we all assume you’re dead until you shuffle out of your room at four in the afternoon looking like a zombie.”
Sam glares at Tom but he doesn’t even bother turning around from the sink. He sinks down in their seat mumbling to himself. Tord enters the kitchen, hair wet from his shower, and they sit up.
“Good, you are up,” Tord says. He grabs the coffee pot and pours more coffee into Sam’s mug. “We can leave in ten minutes, I already set your shoes next to the door and-” he squints at them. “Where are your earrings? Are you okay? You always wear earrings.”
“I’m fine. I just wanted to drink coffee before I put them on.” Sam takes a sip of his coffee and winces as it’s hot from being in the pot. “Where are we going today?”
“You’re going somewhere? Can I come?” Matt asks.
“No.”
And just like that, Tord crushes Matt’s hopes and dreams.
“It’s just going to be me and Sam. I want to spend time with-” Tord pauses as he stares at Sam’s bare wrist. “What’s today, venn?”
“He/They.”
“I want to spend time with him today,” Tord continues. “After all, my bestevenn is always so busy and sleeping like the dead when I’m home.”
Sam rolls his eyes. “You are all so dramatic. I saw you last night.”
“Yeah, for like five minutes as you made tea at three in the morning.” Tord ruffles Sam’s hair and grabs a mug for himself. “Anyway, we’re going to this little place I found near my work. It has lots of trinkets you’d enjoy and it shouldn’t be busy today so you won’t do that thing where you avoid going down certain aisles with people.”
Oh that was. Strangely nice of Tord. Sam takes a drink of his coffee to avoid confronting the warmth in his chest. They're so glad he has great friends. Even on mornings like these where none of them let him have a moment of peace without reminding him of his shitty sleep schedule.

Ectober Day 2: Possession
“Soooooo, what’s eating you?”
Sam’s question jerked Tucker out of his roaming thoughts. “Shouldn’t you be asking what I’m eating?”
She rolled her eyes at the joking deflection, edging across the attic floor towards the space Tucker had set up his ‘workstation’, ie his homework that was getting ignored and everything he needed to keep his PDA running. “Fine. What’s bugging you.”
“I’m the one that does that too! No more spy cams for creepy old ghosts.”
“Tucker.”
Her stare was cold and unimpressed, and gnawed at him even as he pretended not to notice, studying the ceiling very intently.
“I can’t help if you keep pretending you’re fine, you know.”
“I’m fine Sam. You’re just wearing so much eyeliner everyone looks depressed.” His grin was short lived, as it didn’t manage to even get an amused snort out of his best friend.
“Whatever.” She leaned back, book in hand as she got back to trying to study. Yet even with her distracted he felt a pang of guilt for continuing to deflect. Of course she was just trying to be a good friend, but it wasn’t like she could do anything about the problem.
Rechecking the same things over and over on his PDA wasn’t getting anything accomplished, and the loss of casual conversation as they worked just made everything feel more awkward. This was meant to be a relaxing time, when they could just chill and not worry about stuff for a bit, but he’d gone and made it all weird by being jumpy. Sam was way better at keeping silent for long sketches of time too, so she’d win this. His fingers itched as he considered. Maybe he could just make something up? Nah. They knew one another too well for that to actually work.
“It’s seriously nothing bui-”
“But what Tucker. Whatever it is, you’ve been weird all week.” You don’t have to pretend it’s not a big deal.”
“Okay, okay! Let me finish, sheesh.” That earned a smirk at least, though he still hesitated. “Well you know the whole...overshadowing thing.”
“Yeah? It’s freaky, but he’s cut it out. Mostly.” she shrugs, then narrows her eyes. “Wait, has he not cut it out? Do I need to give him a lecture about bodily autonomy for three hours? Because I will.”
He chuckled, remembering the time his absent friend had been going on about how you should never anger a Manson. “Did you actually have a slideshow?”
“I had three slideshows, thank you very much.” She seemed a bit more at ease, but wasn’t shaken off poking for an answer. “Seriously Tuck, if he’s just being an unthinking idiot again you gotta say something.”
“No, Danny’s been fine on that. I think he learned his lesson after last ime.” He’d gotten quite the apology from the half ghost after Sam chewed him out about what he was actually doing when he went and overshadowed someone. “I just. I don’t know, hasn’t he seemed a bit…” He waved his hand, unable to find the word he wanted.
“Overprotective? Yeah.”
“Like today? Acting like we might drop dead at a study session because he’s grounded?”
She raised an eyebrow. “Or he was just grumpy about being grounded?”
“I don’t think so. He gets weird whenever we might not be around, even if he isn’t grounded.” A pang of guilt made him lower his voice, even if his friend had no way of overhearing him. “I swear I’ve caught him going all ‘scary eyes’ when mom and dad have plans.”
“You’ve seen that too?” Sam looked uncomfortable, eyes flicking around the room for a ghost that wasn’t there. “Y’know how I’ve been trying to befriend Paulina now that she’s chill out a bit?”
“And you chilled out a bit.”
“Hey, she tried to date Danny just to get at me, I get to be petty.”
“A little. Though you almost squashed her.” he teased, getting a light shove.
“Quiet mister ‘I’m just going to be a fear hulk ghost that steals cars’.”
“Man that sounds messed up.”
“Get used to the dumbest things around here, I guess.” The goth nodded. “Anyway, Paulina. It always starts getting cold if he spots us chatting or whatever. Nothing big, we’re more acquaintances than anything but it’s kinda weird.”
“Does he know he’s doing it?”
“No idea. I’ve hissed at him to cut it out, but I can’t tell if the dumb look is genuine or not.”
“It does always look natural on his face.”
“Oooh, blackmail. I’ll totally tell him you said that.”
“No you won’t, ‘cus you started it.”
“Shoot.” Yet even as the pair’s snickering subsided, the vague sense of unease stayed.
“I get he probably doesn’t mean anything by it, but it’s like the whole overshadowing deal. Doesn’t it kinda feel like he seems a bit…” he trailed off, not really wanting to voice it even if he’d brought it up in the first place.
“Entitled to our attention?”
He shook his head. “No, not that. More like...we belong to him, or something? That we’re his ghost property?”
“Darn it Tuck. I really want to say no, you’re totally off.”
“But you can’t, can ya.”
“Ghosts have possession issues part two?” She groaned, rubbing at her forehead. “This is so not gonna be fun to point out, you know that?”
“Better we do before he tries scaring anyone who comes near us off.”
“Ooooh no, you’re gonna break it to him. Not me. Nuh uh, I had to do it last time.”
#Danny Phantom#Tucker Foley#sam manson#ectober#my stuff#hi overshadowing is still SCARY STUFF#being friends with a weird half ghost is hard#but they try#why did i pick the weirdest take#danny isn't even in this one!#technically#i swear i'm gonna update in the morning tomorrow#or...today#rather

Making Out With VAV
Let me start off by saying I've been into VAV since June 2018 and they're coming to my city in a few months. I will fucking die when I see them okay. On an unrelated note the photos with them are like $40 each and if you want one with each member its $250 (which is more expensive than the vvip tickets!) Ugh should I get them all or do 1? I'd feel terrible if one member's line for pics was shorter than another ya know UGH I'M GOING THRU IT PLS HELP ME
I got carried away with some of the members but tried to keep it short so I'm sorry others are longer than some. ^^' I’m not even Baron biased but why does he hurt me so...I’m so sorry Lou.
Thank you to the anon who requested this. As you all can tell, I have a weakness for VAV so I love writing them. - Cookie
St. Van:
I've deadass dreamed about making out with St. Van (who hasn't? you're lying if you said you didn't). He's such a fucking tease LIKE WHY SIR?
Anyway, I can imagine making out with him is ALWAYS hot and heavy, no matter where you are.
He'd much rather make out in his room or your place, where no one can interrupt because 11/10 times it's going to escalate to new heights.
Honestly, he has no preference when it comes to a "make out style". If you want it short and sweet, he's down. Rough with lots of tongue? Sign him up!
Doesn't like much dialog when he's in the mood, he'll catch your face in his hands and open mouth kiss you so you didn't get any mixed signals.
Likes to be dominate no matter what but he likes when you're sitting on his lap.
His hands, without fail, will always be in your hair - stroking, pulling, pushing it from your face.
If it's up, NOT FOR LONG 'cause he'll take it out the ponytail
That's on hair pulling kinks
Be prepared for lots of noise.
He's a moaner and WILL moan in your mouth if you nibble his lip or try to take over the dominate role.
He'll find it so so so hot when you're rough with him - his unoccupied hand will grip your thigh and force you to connect your bodies fully and he'll definitely grind up into you, pushing your hips down into him.
There's absolutely nothing gentle about making out with St. Van.
He won't bruise you but ALMOST.
He'll give you bedroom eyes when you pull away and smirk when he notice how turned on you are.
Leaning back into the couch with his head tilted to the side and breathing just a bit hard, he'll lick his lips disrespectfully. "I like when you're on top, baby girl, but I think we should take this to the bed, hm?"
(FUCK I GTG HOW AM I GONNA LOOK THIS MAN IN THE EYES WHEN I MEET HIM? IDK LORD HELP ME)
Baron:
Ok my sweet baby Baron.
I feel like he's a low key freak.
BUT A GENTLEMAN.
The first couple of make outs are sweet and precious.
He's very loving and kind so he won't be rough with you, like never.
Is so shy the first time, but will initiate it about maybe 3 weeks in the relationship - sooner if you're flirty.
Doesn't know what the hell you're comfortable with in this new step of your relationship. Picture this:
It's been a few weeks since you two made it official, even though you went through a month of the talking phase. You were flirty, but Chungheop was still shy with you on certain things. Today, the two of you had a fun-filled day at the amusement park. He had been eyeing you with heart eyes all day and you to him as well. It was hard not to, especially when you have a boyfriend as cute as him! As you were driving back to Seoul, the rain came down in buckets but Baron didn't want to go back to the dorms just yet. With cute puppy-eyes he asked you if he could come over to hang out for a few hours. There was absolutely no way for you to resist that.
So here you were, walking back into the living room after changing out of those ridiculously tight skinny jeans and into your pajama shorts. You traded your cute blouse for one of Baron's large shirts. He was lounging on the couch, scrolling through Netflix for something to kill the time with. Nothing was particularly catching his eye though. He didn't have to wait long until you flopped directly next to him and snuggled into his side.
As he took in your attire, his heart was pounding a thousand times a minute. You were too cute! When you two mutually decided on a Rom-Com, he got bored pretty quickly and shyly kissed your cheek.
With a smile, you turned to see him gazing at you. He leaned closer to your lips and hesitated only for a second before closing the distance. Softly, slowly would mold his lips to yours. Chungheop tilted his head to the side, softly exhaling while the arm on the back of the couch comes to the back of your neck.
Won't introduce tongue but will groan when you do it first.
Heavy breathing and a whole lot of gentle caressing.
His fingers slide down your cheek to cup your jaw before trailing to your cleavage only to settle on your hip.
He won't have a tight grip, it's always light but never in the same place for very long - boy has wondering hands.
Typically they're gripping and stroking.
Will quietly groan if you deepen the kiss or start touching his skin (neck, stomach).
His lips aren't ever rough with you
He'll like to take his time tasting you.
He's a nibbler/biter so expect him to bite gently on your lips a few times.
Also he'll pull some freaky moves out of nowhere like sucking on your tongue and smile cheekily when you moan into him.
Likes to keep you on your toes so some times, just to hear you gasp in surprise, he'll throw you on the bed/couch with a playful smirk.
Overall, he’s very sweet to you. “You look so cute like that, baby.”
Ace:
A whole tease. That's it. That's the post.
Jk. But Wooyoung is a big fan of a foreplay, like this is where he thrives!
He knows how to fuck with you too, so he'll initiate the kisses and will make them so fluttering and lingering that you'll be on the verge of trying to smash his lips to yours.
He'll pull away and be like "Uh-uh don't be so impatient, baby. We got all night~"
Might even laugh a little bit if you were getting frustrated with all his teasing.
He's the type to dominate everything about making out but it's in a sensual way (?)
like not rough or aggressive at all.
Will sneak his tongue in to spice it up after a few minutes just to catch you off guard.
Tongue
LOTS AND LOTS OF IT
French kissing
With a lot of moans from him - he’s pretty vocal but he’s not nearly as loud as you
Likes to suck - on any part of skin on your body. He’s not picky
Sloppy kisses since he has less self control than you think he does
He'll pick up the pace only to slow it down again and smile when you make noises into his mouth.
Lives for the moment that you finally break under all the teasing and yank his hair.
Ace likes to catch you off guard a lot so he'll sneak up on you when you're distracted and spin you around just to give you kisses.
He's a romantic at heart so back hugs that turn into making out on the kitchen counter are very common for you two.
Wooyoung wouldn't want to make-out in public spaces but a hello and goodbye peck when he's in disguise is alright.
He'll be mortified if you were in the middle of a heated make out session, his hands slowly creeping up your shirt only for the members to burst in.
He would be soooooo red in the face lol so yeah y'all would have to be ALONE ALONE to have any real freaky time.
Ayno:
(first off, how dare I use this gif)
Has zero self control when it comes to his s/o
As mentioned previously, Ayno is an ass man
So if you want him to jump your bones, just wear a flattering pair of skinny jeans or a tight skirt
He’ll literally follow you around like a puppy
Lots of gulping, narrowed eyes stuck to your hips and ass as you walked in front of him
When it comes to making out, he’s the same way
A kiss is never just one and done
NO MA’AM, he wants all the smoke
He knows you like how his lips are so he goes in for the kill immediately
No build up
He’ll catch your wrist and spin you to face him
As soon as you notice his body pressed into you, his lips are pushing and pulling you to fold into him
Who are you to deny him that?
Doesn’t waste any time with teasing - his tongue is already putting in work
Likes to cradle your head and tilt it up to him
Wants to hear you whimper and moan breathlessly into him
Always likes to break the kiss to stare at you with an intensity that has your blood boiling
But is soooo playful
Might smirk and leave you hanging
Some times he’ll purposefully attack your mouth when you two really shouldn’t be kissing like when you went to his parent’s house
Enjoys the thrill of getting touchy when you guys could be caught any moment
A little bit of an exhibitionist
He’ll tickle you or nuzzle you to cut some of the sexual tension or say something to make you giggle as he’s pressing kisses on your cheeks
Looooves to handle you if you’d let him
REALLY loves when you handle him too!!!
That one time when you pushed him on the couch, straddled him and yanked his hair, he swore that he was in heaven.
He’ll easily submit to you if you want him too
But he’ll make you work for it
Licking your lips, neck
Yoonho will beg you to let him put hickeys on you and when you agree, he’ll jump on you that second
Jacob:
HOt, heavy, messy, passionate all the time with no build up or warning for you at all.
Jacob likes to keep you guessing so he'll initiate a make-out just about damn near everywhere and at any given time.
He honestly doesn't care whose in the room, unless it was like yours or his family.
The members and other staff?
Yeah, doesn't matter - if he wants to kiss you then he will.
If they don't wanna see it, they better leave because he won't stop unless you want him to ;)
Making out isn’t just kissing for him - it’s a prelude to the nasty-ness that’s about to come
So if you try to break the kiss to go answer your phone, he’s thoroughly offended and will drag you back to his lips
The type to walk in, no words, and catch the back of your neck with his large hand
Likes to make out with you against surfaces with him standing up
He’ll tell you he thinks it’s really hot when you wrap your legs around his waist
A bit of a size kink because he loves to corner you and pin you to the wall/bed and hover over you
You...have absolutely no complaints so...
He’s the dominate role even in making out
But just so gentle and loving that it makes you swoon
Rarely makes a sound other than breathing heavily, humming or growling
Face grabbing!!!!!
100% of the time will grind into you
Since his body is always smashed against yours, he doesn’t need to move much for you two to feel the friction
Has a habit of biting his lip and looking to the sky to grab his composure
Likes your attention on him so he’ll grab your jaw
Playful but not as Ayno
Chuckles when he accidentally tickles you but easily refocuses your attention to the matter at hand:
His tongue in your mouth
Lou:
Shy baby won’t initiate any make-outs until later in the relationship
Probably like 3-4 months into it
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t like making out
Exactly the opposite actually
Hosung loves the intimacy of making out with his partner and finds it really romantic
Is very soft about the entire thing
Nearly melts into a puddle when you kiss him out of nowhere, literal hearts in his eyes
Light pecks - just lips pressed against each other the first few seconds then he’ll slowly move and close his eyes
Hardly any freaky shit until he’s more comfortable with you
When he is comfortable, he’s still very sweet and loving but will be a bit of a tease
Likes to pull away from you and watch you chase his lips
Will play innocent when you get upset that he won’t move against you
Makes you work for it ‘cause he’s a bit of a brat
His hand kink will show during make outs
As soon as your hands touch him under his shirt, he’s a mess
Loud, deep groans and sucking his breath
Wants to watch you so he’ll love it when you’re in his lap
Lots of slow, teasing kisses until he can feel you grind into him
“Do that again.”
Knows how deep his voice can get so when he figures out it’s a turn on for you, he won’t shut up
“If you keep kissing me like that, I’ll have to take you in the room.”
“Unless you want me to strip you right here on the couch?”
“Princess, you’re eager hm? Mhm, I like that~”
You try your best to shut him up but the more you do, the more he’ll do also
He doesn’t prefer boobs over ass or vice versa but he tends to find his hands are constantly caressing your ass and waist a lot
Is hardly ever rough with you but will appreciate a few bites and sharp grips from your hands
Ziu:
Playful then turns hot and heavy.
Heejun likes to goof off so making out will start off very innocent.
You two could be just talking and laughing and he'll strike- tickling you and tackling you onto the couch.
Eventually, it'll die down and as you were giggling and telling him he was crushing you under his weight, he'd be too busy staring at you to hear you.
In a split second, he leaned down and gave you a soft kiss - something to convey what he was thinking at the moment.
He had no intentions of going past that but when he felt your arms wrap around his shoulders, thin fingers stroking the back of his neck and down his back, it sends shivers down his spine.
Ziu knows how big he is, and he is very cautious of you as well so he won't be rough with you unless there's a special reason.
Usually, his hands stay on your body, running patterns down your sides but they'll always settle on the swell of your hips or your ass.
He'll definitely man-handle you a bit - pulling you on to him, pushing you into the couch/bed.
Some times he forgets how strong he is so his kisses suddenly turn very passionate, and in turn kind of sloppy.
Open mouth kisses with lots of tongue clashing.
Likes a little bit of pain
Your nails scratching his back, yanking on his hair - as long as there’s no blood
He's pretty vocal, groaning and whispering sweet words in your ear.
Dirty talk is only for rough sex so most times he'll be just a big ball of love and sensual, lingering kisses.
Then, when you want to deepen the kiss, he'll leave you hanging out of literally nowhere and look at you like you're crazy for trying to get freaky in the dorm living room when any of his members could walk in.
"We're not doing any of what you're thinking on this couch, little lady."
Finds it hilarious how sexually frustrated he can get you though, so he'll leave you hanging a lot more than you want lol.
Will probably laugh in your face when you pout and curse him for turning you on with no intention to finish

Nevermore by Kelly Craigh
Book: Nevermore
Author: Kelly Craigh
Publisher: Atheneum Books for Young Readers
Release Date: August 31st 2010
Format: Paperback
Pages: 543
Started Reading: March 22, 2019
Finished Reading: March 26, 2019
Summary (supplied from GoodReads): Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.
Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life.
As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares.
His life depends on it.
My Thoughts: Honestly, I had read this book back in 2012 from my local public library, but due to due dates I couldn’t finish it. I then purchased the books in time so that I could re-read them. But, obviously until recently I never had a chance. I would try to pick Nevermore up again, and for some reason always just after the ice cream shop scene. I think other stuff was just distracting me.
Of course, I picked it up again and I refused to let anything distract me. I read through it with in 7 days due to work and the like. And, guess what...I didn’t really want to put it down. I would constantly be thinking that I wanted to read rather than go into work, but of course I need to work to pay my bills.
Nevermore is the type of book that you really have to have patience with when you get about half-way through. Its not a bad thing...its just that the build of of stuff tends to wear you down and you get impatient. I found this with the other books too. Yet, its that build up that you need. So, that you can get more enjoyment out of the parts that you really are looking forward to.
The characters I found were quite dynamic considering the story that was being told. Isobel is a cheerleader, but she’s not a bobble head like your mind would like to stereotype. And, and with that it brings me to her future love interest in the book. Varen Nethers, he’s a goth kid, and as you can now imagine when I mentioned sterotypes...that exactly what Isobel did...she stereotyped Varen when she was placed as his partner for an English project that they did on Poe. Over time she begins to find out more about Varen. It could partially be the fact that her actions catch him off guard because she wasn’t quite what he expected either. That ice cream shop scene that I mentioned earlier? One of my all time favourites when Isobel sticks up for him. It think that was the time that he really starting thinking that his stereotyping was wrong too.
One stereotype that I did see in background characters’ behaviours was that of Isobels old friends. The jocks acted really....what you think of a jock fromt he 90′s films and stories of when they bully those who they think are weaker than they are.
When you enter Varen’s dream world with Isobel...another sterotype, but on the story this time. It was coocoo for coacoa puffs. But, thats what you expect from a story that involves Edgar Allen Poe elements, mystery, horror and a dash of YA.
Reynolds was quite the character through out the books. In the first book he was very much like a...not quite spirit guide...but you almost want to put him in that catagory because he was constantly helping Isobel? I guess you could say a “Dream Companion” though I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before myself...but trust me when you read the books, you’ll see what I mean.
Gwen...you meet her about halfway through the first book...and honest to goodness I saw a good friend of mine in her. Not quite the same personality, but the sarcasticasm and always there for you drive I saw completely. I just recently go in touch with this friend again too, which I find a bit ironic in a hilarious way. Gwen is the type of friend that everyone really wants in their lives. She can playfully bicker with the main character’s love inerest. She can get under the friend’s parents nerves, and yet find her way back again. She’s there to help her friend get out of a tight spot, and put her life on the line for each other. Yet, she’s also the friend that encourages you to jump out of your comfort zone a bit, so that you can improve yourself.
The setting through out the book I found was quite descriptive, that might be why I mentioned earlier that you really need to have patience with the books. There is foreshadowing, and you really do need to pay attention. It will most likely be explained by the end of the book, or well into the next one what something might have meant. By this point you kind of want to slap you head like you “should have had a V8″ for being so simple and not catching it. You, then reflect on something, and your hear begins to melt.
The end of the story? *claps to Kelly* You really did a good one. Quite the cliff hanger to make the reader come back for more. That’s exactly what I did. Though I must say with the second one I was a sucker for punishment. For the readers of the blog...you might get an explaination in the next review.
Verdict: I quite enjoyed this book. I found it delightful, mysterious, and intreguing all at the same time. The characters you actually want to hanging out with. Even though the Dream World is kind of freaky, you do want to go there and see what you see from your own mind at times. It was next to perfect in my minds eye, but I am trying to be a little bit more honest with my reviews, like I said when I started the blog. Soooooo...I dub this book....
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
