"You are one of Cassandra's descendants, Rhiannon. When my time as oracle comes to an end, you will take my place."

I so did not see that coming. Damn good thing I was in the basement on the stationary bike reading this because I yelled "Holy SHIT!" before I even finished the sentence.

Haven't finished reading yet, but I had to pause to let you know just how much you shocked me with that revelation. I hardly ever make noise when I'm reading a story. Like, never. Maybe a soft chuckle under my breath, or a little giggle, but that's it.

BTW: gotta run out soon. I'll have to finish reading this later. *sigh*

AND now I'm back and I've finished it. Wow. I am just ... wow.

I didn't expect the whole Cassadore thing. Like, any of it. Makes me very worried about his interest in Rhia.

And DAMN! Rhia threatening Dolph? Don't get me wrong, he totally deserved it. I would so love to have been a fly on the wall when Edward finished their little conversation. I'm sure it was classic Death.

Awesome chapter, hon! I enjoyed the hell out of it.

P.S. I suspect Rhia's going to give Aedan an earful once she's recovered sufficiently.
