Summary: A reality of female life not observed in Twilight. DARK EDWARD. Mature themes.

PERIOD. Yes, it is exactly what you think it is. WAIT, WAIT....don't run away yet....

Obviously, this fic is not for the faint of heart (or stomach). I will say this though; as repulsive as the subject matter may be under initial impression, the core issue of the story is written tastefully well and the writing is absolutely refreshing. Some of you may say, "Tasteful? How is that possible?" but I say to you, look to the realities of the Twilight story. This may be, for lack of a better word, gross, but it IS a reasonable topic (however taboo the material) and this story addresses an issue within the Twilight storyline that Stephenie Meyer conveniently skirted with a
simple, one line explanation. I'm not bashing on SMeyer, because for obvious reasons, this is a topic that she should not mess about
with as the fandom majority would have a proverbial cow. I, however, find it intriguing and stimulating at how realistically the author is able to portray, describe, and resolve this fundamental issue that would (or should) otherwise be avoided like the plague.

Kelsey does an amazing job of describing our beloved Edward, lost to his thirst, and transformed into a formidable vampire monster right before Bella's eyes. "Hello. Edward's not here anymore, please leave your message at the BITE." UNGH.

In all seriousness, I often found it highly improbable for Edward to be able to essentially 'turn off' his thirst for Bella, and always secretly desired to see him lose his carefully perfected control. Well, this story certainly quells THAT craving. She wonderfully contrasts Bella's feelings of fear/terror and desire/lust as they also coalesce in a very realistic way. Her use of brief flashbacks parallelling certain moments in the story provide meaning and significance to Edward's actions and Bella's reactions and tie everything together beautifully.

Again, if you can get past the macabre plot content, this is a HIGHLY desirable and INTENSELY DARK Edward....did I mention INTENSE? You WILL breathe heavy reading this story, whether you like it or not. Personally, I did not find as much offense as I expected with this topic. It is certainly not along the lines of mutilation, torture and gore (which is where my limits lie), and with the caliber of the writing and overtly sexual constitution, the story was very easy to digest, and intrinsically HOT AS HELL.

That being said, I urge you to push your limits and give this story a go around....you will NOT be dissapointed....that is, if you're looking for a deeply dark, dichotomistic, dominating Darkward drowning in his vampiric and carnal desires.....yes, if that is you, then this is your story!

NOW, GO AND READ MY LITTLE MASOCHISTS, GO AND READ.

Summary:
In the darkest depths of Port Angeles, a war has begun. Sociopathic vampire Edward seeks revenge on a Hunter, Jacob, and as images of a girl haunt Jacob’s mind, Edward is determined that he will hunt her down... Rated M for lemons & language.


Soooo.....
This fic is 13 chapters so far, regularly updated with not too much wait time for updates. It starts off with a really DARK Edward who doesn't give a flying fuck about humans, even going so far as to toy with them to relieve his "boredom". Jake is an incessant Hunter, determined to kill Edward, having it in his head that Edward was the Vampire responsible for his mother's untimely demise.

The writing in this story is done well. It's not Pulitzer writing, but it certainly isn't lacking in plot twists and pulp. She is taking the story in VERY interesting directions, her attention to detail is very satisfying, and I am PANTING for the next chapter. I hope you'll click the link and come along for the ride.....it's a good one.

Okay, I have to say, or 'WARN' for some of you smutlovers, that this story is more or less smut-free so far, but seeing as it is rated M, I am HOPING beyond ALL HOPE that she does eventually make it to the hot schmexin'....we'll see. There are other aspects to this story that can earn the M rating as well, but I'll keep on her for some sexin' though! You can trust me on that!

****** UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!******
So our lovely author here has broken her SMUT-CHERRY and tantalized us with a delicious little lemon! Oh my word, she has done us pervs proud! And EMPOWERED our lovely Bella! I just finished up Chapter 14 (yes! well spaced frequent updates!) and not only do we get our long awaited LEMON, but she ramps up the action and plot in the story 10 fold! The electricity & intensity she's created between our B & E is so palpable it can be cut with a knife, and the scene immediately following has a flow that is damn near flawless! It really was just SUCH a cool scene....I can't think of a better way to describe it. In addition, her use of the characters in this story is original and unashamed. She has created some WONDERFUL twists to their personas and has actually made me HATE Jacob! (Yes, that's a GOOD thing). SERIOUSLY, READ THIS FIC NOW...GO! RUN!!!

CLICK IT, READ IT, ENJOY.

XOXO
