okay, 1st of all

on that snippet.... can't wait to get that book.

2nd on the other snippet with the tub.....

I was assuming it was the protagonist as we get her POV in the 3 previous books... but, if the authors decided to make a turn and get another POV on this scene the speculation will be driving me mad.... so... I refuse to think who those are and will wait patiently for the book... as patiently as I can

and last but not least... on Alphaz.... well... to me at least it's an interesting combination of... the worldbuilding, the characters, the story, the relationships, and the big mystery of Lucas.... Yep, he is one big mystery for me, because okay, he says he would do all of those things... he was craving to do all these things... but still he didn't. and the reasons he gives for Not doing anything is that she didn't give him those rights. That the deal didn't cover those rights, that she actually trusted him to stick to that deal. And yes, it is highly disturbing, and violent, and all of these things normal people consider sick... But, how is he any different than those Pirates Andrea reads about? To me at least the 'thinking' of something isn't the same thing as doing it, and how much different is he from Raphael in Nalini Singh's Angel's, the androgynes in Lili Saintcrow's Dante Valentine, or Nikolai in her Selene? Or any other dark character in any other book? Just because we can't have a POV from those dark characters doesn't mean they are not considering, thinking, craving something that would give any sane person pause.
Still, he understands that wanting something and doing it are to different things. I am curious as to what will happen with her daughter and maybe... the Stockholm's Syndrome?
Yes, I do have things I cannot read about, child abuse for example rises my hackles...
But those Alphaz intrigue me in a good way, and I have faith in the author's abilities to tell me a story that will continue to intrigue me....

guess that's just me...
