This is a very nice story with a graphic that matches it quite well. I felt like I was almost part of the story.

""But he kissed you and turned you into an Immortal,"


I particularly liked this thought!

Hello again,
Aw, now that was an exciting chapter. Hades appears to have succeeded in transforming Echo into an immortal. Of course, appearances can be deceiving. Perhaps Hades, in his arrogance, has miscalculated.
Alas, where is Persephone in all this chaos?
And Georgios is a nice surprise. I think most thought it would be Theo who would save the day. Georgios may play a bigger role in the story yet. he is the warrior of the family.
You've maintained the suspense very well.
Best wishes.
Robert

    Hi again, and thanks again for the six stars. Appearances can be deceiving, for sure.
    Persephone has not been forgotten, lol.
    Theo will have his day, but not yet. He's off on a different mission.

    Thanks again, my friend,

Georgios can to Echo's rescue. I am hoping that her being Immortal won't jeopardize her relationship with Theo. Surely something can be done. I really like this story.

If they were nice they wouldn't be working for me." (nice,)

    Hi Barbara, thank you so much for the six stars!!! I appreciate, as well, your comments. I think it would take more than this incident to come between them. She has many friends and lots with power.

    Take care,

After posting a final chapter to my Tucker series this week, it gave me some extra time. So, I came looking for your latest post. This is my favorite chapter yet, and I only wish I had a six to reward it properly.
Thanks for sharing.

    Ric, thank you so much for the virtual six and for stopping by. I need to add you to my list to fan so I can follow your series, or at least, backread it.
    I'm glad you liked the chapter. I will probably post more often now that I'm off of teacher for the Summer.

    Take care,
    Rhonda

I enjoyed that chapter. I think a long time ago I read another chapter earlier and now need to start all over. Not reading from the beginning made me curious what I missed. One fix, once more instead of one? Last sentence. Esther

    Hi Ester. I would love for you to read the book. Don't feel you have to review along the way, lol. That would take forever.

    Thanks for finding the fix. I'll get it taken care of.

Good artwork and great chapter to go with it, Rhonda. I enjoyed reading it and you created just enough suspense. It didn't seem like Echo was going to have a chance, but she took one when she broke the emerald necklace from her neck and threw it off. That was a bold move. I was surprised that Hades didn't get angry.

Right before that, Echo was thinking of her true love who couldn't be there, and it helped her remember the emerald necklace. Good thinking and reaction on her part. It was surprise that Adam showed up, but it is good he did. He proved that he could take care of the situation even though Hades had the upper hand until Adam drew his sword an held it to Hades' throat.
and even Sunny got in on the action.

Your description of how Adam was gasping for air was excellent. We start to fear for him and also for Echo. Unfortunately it was Hades who kissed her and made her immortal, but I wonder if that is permanent or temporary since he is not an upstanding model of what a god should be. I also think that he did that against Echo's will so I don't know if the effect will be the same. At least he let Echo go with Adam.

I liked the ending and the fact that Georgios was there to help. But I am wondering about the scream from an animal, which one it was, how it will be impacted, and if it is something that will help Echo from being beholden to Hades since he kissed her. There is a lot to think about in this chapter. You are doing a great job, my friend!

    Pam, thank you so much for the six stars and for taking time to analyze it. Hades was angry because of control issues, but opted for getting on her good side rather than raging. He's working on the long con.
    Adam is a little less afraid of Hades because he grew up around the gods, and because he knows he poses very little threat, or so Hades felt.
    The screaming animal will tie into the next chapter, though poor Echo's fate won't be decided for a few chapters. but there was some foreshadowing early in the book that will tie back in.

    I'm about finished with another chapter (trying to get as much done as I can before family members remember I'm off for the summer and jump in to give me something to do, lol.

    Take care, and tell Robert Hi!

    The best is hard shoes to fill. I should have said a little more in my reply that I appreciated the information you shared. Hope you take some time for you over your summer break!!

    The best is hard to fill, but you've been there for me through thick and thin, and by thin, we know it was months that rolled into years and still you kept communicating until I came back. Thank you for never giving up!!

Well, the kiss from Hades did something, but what? Echo and her flashbacks to Theo and their connection might have disrupted Hades efforts.. or I hope so. He appears to be so mean and evil, yet he keeps his promises and lets her go. Reminds me of a spoiled child who really just wants to have friends and doesn't know how. Well done.
Smiles, Carol

    Hi Carol!
    Thank you for the six stars! You're a champ!!
    I like the comment about the spoiled child. I think you have something there. He does tend to push people he cares about away, and only wants them when convenient to him.

    Good call on her thoughts about Theo.

    Hugs,
    Rhonda

Nice chapter, and reading these lines: "Then, she remembered Phillip's warning about Hades' hypnotic voice. Is that what the crafty jerk was trying to do, mesmerize her? How dare he. With a tremendous effort, she fought back." I just had the image of a snake trying to seduce this innocent dove. Thank you for sharing this beautiful chapter.
