Once Bitten Twice Shy notes; chapter 18

Chapter 18
Jaz seems to be taking things in her stride despite all that’s happened to her.
Saving twin David remotely is just another blip to contend with as it seems her Sensitivity has been boosted in yet more ways.
She can sense the emotions (worry) from her companions in Cassandra’s apartment. She’s not sure what to make of Albert’s revelations either.

It must’ve been Albert’s military background, because, man, when he dropped a bomb the entire country shook.

It’s a case of thinking you know everything and then, POW, everything you thought you knew for user gets thrown out the metaphorical window.

Chapter 17
WTF?OMG!
Ack, I’ve resorted to texting (insert disdain here).
Despite this momentary lapse in composition of Formal English (my lousy grammar notwithstanding), those 8 characters convey my astonishment rather succinctly.
Allow me to elucidate.

Last chapter, Jaz felt reluctant to touch Cassandra in case the attractive psychic should delve into her psyche and reveal things Jaz does not wish to admit to or disclose to anyone else.

Once Bitten Twice Shy notes; chapter 16

Chapter 16
I was right about the weird Tor-al-Degan ritual, not only is the entire event going to make things difficult but now Jaz & company have to deal with a bona fide demon, and one of some legendary renown. Tor-al-Degan is the demon’s name, who is a Kyron(?) and it apparently has an appetite for human souls. Lovely.
Which brings me to Cassandra, an appropriate name for a seer/psychic.
She runs “Cassandra’s Pure & Natural” and from the description of the place at the chapters beginning, it must smell thoroughly gorgeous.
