whoa now i see this interestingwill you continue this story?

Love your story, I really like your writng style, and I can't wait to your next update.

I love the plot so far. Don't care for Garrett, but I suppose that's as it should be. Please return, and don't leave this tale to rot. :/

Would you be continuing this?

this is one of the best stories i have read in a while. it is dark but not too dark. the characters have a lifelike quality to them that makes them realistic. i could almost see myself in this epic drama

Interesting story, please keep it up

this chapter is full of emotion, the italic part is touching and dark, and gripping!!

merry christmas and happy new year.
I really do like this story , so update..

I like this story also. I didn't read the other version, so I don't know how different this version is of that one. But so far, this story is really good. I've always liked beauty & the beast, so this version of the story is really intersting. I can't wait to read more :)

I thought that this was a very good opening. Or I might just like Varin too much. :) He's rather bipolar in this chapter, but still nicely done! As for the dream, just one question, does Emmy have an idea that the beast is the same man who's keeping her? She hasn't seen him in his wolf form right?

Nice intro there, but maybe more about how he killed her husband? That would fuel her hatred towards him some more, then you could give us access into her twisted mindframe. But I suppose you're saving that for later.

Ah, this seems more interesting, Emmy as Varin's source of humanity. I think it makes better sense of why he'd take her away. I think you should've given Mari some more space here. Really, Garrett's got enough limelight already, we don't know enough about Mari here. Other than that, nice chapter! :)

Ceremony of the Virgin? Oh, poor poor Emmy. :)
I didn't really get the transition of Emmy's mood when she goes into the forest again, why is she melancholy again all of a sudden? Or is she even melancholy? I don't really get things sometimes.
Having her power manifest now seems a lot more interesting, holds the reader more I think. And Garrett, I just don't like him, I don't know why but I just don't.

The description was absolutely beautiful. I thought this was a nice calm opening to the story. That along with the dream and hints to Emmy's past were all very enticing, it would probably make me want to know more if I didn't already know the general direction of the story.

I think this is ok, I really like the way you wrote it and the story is very gripping and cool.
first person is not good always, since you can tell what that character feels but no more, I mean it's limited.

Not a bad chapter. I found it a little difficult to get through without my mind drifting, but that could have more to do with the fact that I'm exhausted...

Anyway, you kinda lost me with the conversation between Garrett and Emmy in the woods. It was just... too much touching and false selflessness, I guess. Don't get me wrong: I generally consider myself a romantic guy, but I just kept thinking, "Oh, get real" at the characters. But maybe that's just me being cynical.

But again, this is a good chapter. I do like the new direction you're taking this story - I'm always game for stuff of a darker nature.
