This is absolutely terrifying, and I want to see what happens next!

I like this little bit of analysis: "That wide-eyed, guileless expression is a little much. Her idea of manipulation is intuitive, but raw. It needs some fine tuning."

I really enjoy you ladies' versions of high school angst--like the one with the perfect girl who was sick of herself so she punched the lacrosse player....You always have a new spin.

I think I like writing about high school so much because high school was the first time I'd ever been to public school and I didn't really know much about my peer group. Man, they can be vicious, and they can be fascinating!

More Waverly anytime. Just sayin.

I needed to pry myself out of That One Voice and into another (you know the one I mean).

Love this!! I can feel the undercurrents of power...

[brennayovanoff]

Thanks! I think psychological power, especially, is so unnerving.

This is kind of terrifying to read - starts off a little in the theme of "Mean Girls" and then slips into "The Craft". You could go some really fun places with this - there's certainly enough here to get people interested and gripped already.

I still have to figure out what exactly they do, but I suspect it's going to be elaborate and deft.

I enjoyed it. The idea of the prey turning into the hunter is a good theme (one I really like to use).

[brennayovanoff]

That's one of my favorites too-it seems to play out in so many different ways.

[brenbell]

Exactly.
