With love, terror and adventure, Black and Blue hits the top! Well-written and instrumented; like book #1, keep this series -these character lives- winding out to enrich all around them. Kudos on whom you chose to widen their “family” and begin the tapestry to include others. Please keep them true. Please keep your series to it’s belevolence. Too many have not the charm of suspense, hardship and trials; but also joy, tenderness and relief; all while not making things crude, soul-destroying and violent. I’d say Gold Star if not for how cheap gold is to your work! Well done!
