cats.on.clouds 2008-04-27 ch 9, anon.	abuseWhoo. This is pretty creepy. It kinda has that feel that one is watching a movie made for sci-fi channel... I wonder if the man who took Miles is a spirit too... or whatever those sudden human appearances are. Good work.
Shadowlancer 2008-04-07 ch 8, anon.	abuseThis is something different. It even sounds mature and that is a rarity on here. My favourite spook is islands and people trying to survive the unknown. Do look forward to your progress.
FormerNoAccountOnFP 2008-04-03 ch 8,	abuseWow. You should add a horror genre on this. The chapters I had not read have left me looking like a fish out of the water... you know with my mouth open. It feels like if they entered the Bermuda Triangle. What Roman sees, how Hillary acts... and that outburst from the usually calm and collected Miles... very creepy. I love it. I feel also a bit of the whole LOST thing... Just what is in the island? What happened to the people Gina brought before? Is that blood from those people? If the man really is Roman's father, why did he leave his family? Why is he so weird? (Traps? That's extreme for normal paranoia!) I want more please!
FormerNoAccountOnFP 2008-03-26 ch 5,	abuseThat was creepy! I'm terrified of having any form of accident underwater! I'm starting to get this sensation in my neck... usually happens right before something bad happens in a horror movie... right now I tingle, but... it grows. I'm excited yet nervous about their eventual tour of the island. Roman's desires are justified to me. A person should never stop until he or she reaches closure of something painful... even if it takes forever. That advice of "suck it up" just doesn't suit. Good chapter. I loved the insight...
Nefertiry 2008-03-26 ch 5,	abuseI like the addition of words with Roman and Hillary about their dad-- it sets the stage for what may happen next. I had a strange thought the other day about Terrance... but I wouldn't want to spoil it by writing it in public. ;) I remember the dive sequence... it was SO difficult to make. You have no idea-- a true challenge. I'm so proud of you. Really, really proud. =)
Nefertiry 2008-03-22 ch 4,	abuseI was always proud of the kind of Blonde Gina made. A big change in character creation from the dark, brooding, and dramatic once (for me-- not you xP) -- I am really enjoying the rerun with a more "put together sense." Now don't tell me, but... you gonna change what happens at... Omg, a cliffhanger! How dare you? More, more!
Nefertiry 2008-03-22 ch 1,	abuseI missed this story. Oh my word but wasn't it quickly turning bad? I still remember that scene with Miles... shudders We go way dark! No hikari at all. Still a part of me always wondered, "If I weren't here how would he do it?" This is my chance. And you kept Gina all giddy but smart. sobsob No seriously... I can't wait to see what you do with this! I am SO curious!
FormerNoAccountOnFP 2008-03-21 ch 3,	abuseI really like the chemistry amongst the characters. Just three chapters but it is as though one had lived with them. Subtle words really unify them. You have good characterization. I really hope something happens with Roman and Gina as I took her humorous words to him in the last chapter to heart: she might end up saving him... right? OR vice versa. Sorry for my implications but I am just a sap for romance and I have a bit of a "Survivor" feeling with this story. Survivor meets LOST. Now the SUV people freaked me out. And if you mention it, with the lingering gaze... it must somehow be important. Either way, I am intrigued and the suspense is wonderful. Keep it up.
FormerNoAccountOnFP 2008-03-19 ch 2,	abuseCrank.. fp logged me out and deleted my second review. Shame. Must compress the thoughts: Firstly, I like the tid bits of clever wit and sense of humor. Being a curly haired woman myself, I understand why Hilary would enrage at the 'Tina' hair (good visual). More than ever, I am viciously intrigued to know about this Coco Cay. I can't even begin to guess what you're scheming. Update rate is much loved. Hope the pace keeps diligent.
FormerNoAccountOnFP 2008-03-19 ch 1,	abuseWell if it is not an actual writer in this section who knows how to use the English language without butchering it! I have become so sorrowfully dubious of new authors (as in people that are not on the favorite list of authors I already respect). That's how I do my reading... have some solid likes, and read what those solids have enjoyed. Dubious mouse that I am and since you haven't any reviews yet I read your profile, which is actually mature sounding and eloquent... and to my blissful cheer you actually 'know' one of my favorite author's on here... how wonderful is my luck. It is blessed since I met my husband I must add. And to know that this beloved author worked in unision with you automatically gives you what I call 'the token of faith.' Your story's first chapter has excellent scenes... I am intrigued by how Roman has lost his parents because the way he thinks that his father may be alive... gives us the impression is was a questionable death. And he has been chasing the possibility that they are living for years? Interesting. It's rare to find out of cliché fiction these days... and well written for the most part, so sadly I must add some objections and not be akin to a hormonal teenager (as this is not a silly romance) and mention some quirky 'errors.' I must make a fair judgment and an observation... the shift on point of view towards the center and finale confuse me a tad. To have Roman AND the sailors' thoughts thrown back and forth so... close to each segment makes me a little uncomfortable. Or maybe I prefer one point of view per chapter, or at least a consistant point of view with chapter breaks and real-time shifts. You did want to tie the point of view, correct?
