It seemed he was going to break away from her, but then at the end he didn't. It wasn't a very satisfactory ending.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415222406280230021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-767083783954656462012-12-15T12:35:50.504-05:002012-12-15T12:35:50.504-05:00Not much response.

Let me see if I've got this right:<br /><br />Graf 1: Meggie is a clairvoyant. She warns Jim about something unspecified.<br /><br />Graf 2: Meggie meets Jim again and sees he's had sex with a demon.<br /><br />Graf 3: Actually Jim and two other guys have been having sex with this demon or think they have.<br /><br />Graf 4: Jim wants Meggie's help. Meggie has the hots for both Jim and Kyle, so she reluctantly agrees to help. (How?)<br /><br />Graf 5: Meggie stops by Jim's place and there's this maelstrom of desire stuff.<br /><br />Graf 6: Somebody tries to banish the demon. The demon does not take this lying down.<br /><br />Graf 7: Meggie, Kyle and Jim (what happened to Peter?) try to battle the demon, but lose.<br /><br />Looks like everything in the first four paragraphs could've been said in one, preferably with more specifics. <br /><br />Synopses are tough to do. Probably the toughest thing to do. Before you re-tackle this one, I'd reconsider the ending. Yeah, it's true, the protagonist winning in the end has so been done before. But there's a reason for that. <br /><br />We lose in the end in real life.<br /><br /><br /><br />AlaskaRavenclawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-80848263557271778892012-12-14T15:17:42.542-05:002012-12-14T15:17:42.542-05:00To be a true paranormal romance, the demon must se...To be a true paranormal romance, the demon must secretly really be in love with Meggie, Jim & Kyle, profess this in a remote castle on a windy afternoon, and arrange for them all to live happily ever after.khazar-khumnoreply@blogger.com
