Not that it really matters, but just FYI.<br /><br />I liked the description. I liked the premise of the scene and the action. But I just didn't really connect to Janelle. It doesn't feel like she has a voice in this scene. <br /><br />I would love to suggest to change the POV and write this from first person, but that makes me the most annoying person alive. But she needs more thoughts and emotions infused into the voice no matter what you do. She's flat here.Secret Agentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-91900691732854808232010-09-24T06:05:16.605-04:002010-09-24T06:05:16.605-04:00Very exciting and grips me.

She's freezing and breath is catching at the same time. Those are two strong reactions at once. But I don't know what she's reacting to.<br /><br />The next line is much stronger. Cool descriptions, movement, glass buckling. (I'm not sure about glass buckling. It sounds neat, but I'm not sure if it cracked or what.)<br /><br />The dad is definitely creepy, and the whole thing has a dream-like quality about it. I'm waiting for her to wake up, too.Jodi Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796496740054225283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-35768777095380076922010-09-22T23:20:45.683-04:002010-09-22T23:20:45.683-04:00Hooked.

There is a clear reason he wants her to see the storm. I almost wonder if Tempest is the MC's name, and that is why the dad is wanting her to see the storm and all it's glory.<br /><br />I'd keep reading to see what happens.angela robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114119913653244467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-40368311196855635842010-09-22T20:39:42.316-04:002010-09-22T20:39:42.316-04:00Love this one - nice intrigue with the father.
