Sorry I haven't left a review until now.  It took some time to read all the chapters back to back.  Wow you really pack alot of punch in each chapter.  First of all, I have to say hands down this is the best alternate Twilight story I have read so far.  This is not something I declare easily.  Thanks to my twific addiction I have no idea how many stories I have read in the two plus years but I would venture it would be close to a 1000.  OMG, I also have to say some of these chapters are downright hilarious.  I will be reading and all of a sudden I am laughing out loud.  Seriously, my kids think I have lost my mind.  The way you wrote the characters they are believable.  This is the first story where you made even Victoria a likeable character.  The sex written is totally hot and it grabs your attention.  Alot of time when you read thses kind of situations it is written very generic and they all blend into one another.  Holy cow, you have nymphos running rampant also.  I can't wait for the next chapter even though you updated yesterday.  In case it is not obvious through this review, I effin' love this story.  Keep up the good work.



Author's Response:

Wow!  Thank you for your kind words--they worked wonders in building up my confidence level.  Don't worry about your kids thinking you're nuts, mine already know I am.  I blame it on them, though.  How else can I come up with all the looniness in the story.  Thank you again.  The next two chapters will be all twists and turns--bear with me--they're necessary chapters.  XOXO

I love how we are seeing the family all together at once.  I can't wait for this dinner to happen........can you say awkward. Alex has to sit there and pretend nothing happened with Dame.  

I hope Bella doesn't find out......it will get messy.     It would be awesome to have Sonny and Amelia hit it off.  Dame needs to get his shit straight first....not jump into another relationship.   Can't wait for the father daughter chat next chapter

Another great chapter as always.  Yay my lazy ass is finally leaving a review.  It has been awhile.  Although this chapter was pretty tame it hit me on a personal level.  I am talking about Kylie's POV.  I wish sometimes I had an older brother, a protector.  Kylie always had two.  Now that their lives are moving in different directions I can see where she is coming from.  By being the baby of the family she was used to having all the attention.  She is in for a dose of reality.  It is hard because she was close to Dame but they are not seeing eye to eye.  And I know people will hate me for this next statement but I am gonna say it anyway.  It is not Jordan's fault.  If he is wrapped up in school work and his girlfriend and neglecting other peoples' feelings it is not her fault.  I am not very close with my brother even though he is 3 years younger than me.  I used to pass blame on his wife sometimes why he doesn't come over my house that often.  I have come to realize you cannot make anyone including a sibling make time for you if they don't want to.  Kylie needs to focus on herself and her goals for life.  It is not the Kylie show and not everything revolves around her.  Even though I do alot for my parents and my brother at the end of the day I look out for my husband and kids' needs first.  Wow I sound bitter but I am not I have come to accept life as it is.  I love your writing because you keep shit real.  Life is shit sometimes and not everything is rainbows and unicorns.  It is messy and feelings get hurt sometimes.  I love how from the beginning of Riders to now how much these three siblings have grown.  Keep up the fabulous work and I can't wait to see how you will wrap this for us in a pretty bow.

Love ya,

Oh boy Lexi.....you hit it out of the park with this one.   Shit is starting to boil over.   I hate to say it but Dame is going to get what is coming to him.  Wow his head is a scary place to be in...he is conflicted.  Hmm where to begin....how about that stuff he said to Carlisle.  That was asking for trouble.  Did he not think Carlisle was going to confront Alex about that?  As if that wasn't bad enough....he is trying to put doubts in Maggie's head.  That is the same thing he did with Alex.  Carlisle coming after him was inevitable.  Did he think it was cool to just say that and disregard it as a joke....wow that is messed up.  His obsession with Maggie not cool either.  I feel bad for Amelia now.  Her behavior makes sense now.  She can't keep her man in check......he cannot be controlled.  Her being clingy is not going to stop his behavior.  What Sonny said was right on the money....you reap what you sow.  He needs to straighten himself out or else.  I am proud of Maggie standing up for herself and Sonny.  The way he kept coming at her is not cool.   He didn't like it when Sonny gave Amelia a ride home but it is okay to try to get with Sonny's girl.  Oh boy I can't wait for the next chapter...shit is going to get real for Dame.

Hey Lexi first off I want to say I am loving this story so far and am so happy you decided to make the Storm series a trilogy.  Last chapter you threw us for a loop pairing Sonny with Maggie.  I was like wow I didn't see that coming.  He is hot and she is sweet but together they could melt ice standing next to it.  This chapter just solidified it.  Why all the hate on Sonny trying to be happy.  Hasn't he been through enough!!  He was shot at as a child and had to grow up real fast in this lifestyle.  You can say it was put on him much like Edward had it put on him when he was young as well.  Him and Katie are done...stick a fork in it.  Her comments in this chapter just showed her true colors.  She was just using him for sex plain and simple.  If she truly loved him she would cut a bitch for even looking at her man and not invite her into the apartment.  Aro needs to get his nose out of their business.  Where was he when he caught his married daughter effin' his friend's son in the office at Eclipse.  She is not a goody two shoes and is a chip off the old maternal block.  Like mother like daughter...it is sad really she could of had it all with Sonny.  Maggie may be young and innocent but she is passionate and would be loyal to Sonny.  Why would you want someone who consistently cheated on their spouse even if it was with you.  They forced her hand leaving her husband....she would have still continued going back and forth like a ping pong ball.  That is straight up nasty.  I feel it is Sonny's due time for some happiness and if Maggie makes him happy then Bella and Edward need to step up and support them and be happy for them.  They need to remember how they got together and Bella's friends and family thought she was nuts for taking off and being with Edward.  It is universal the need to love and be loved.  With that being said I can't wait to see Dame's reaction to finding out that Sonny and Maggie are together.  I wish Amelia was being genuine with her feelings.  I was really disappointed by her shadyness the last chapter.  Until the last chapter they were my favorite couple...but she just killed it.  His actions weren't any better.  If he was paying any attention to his girl he would have noticied her checking Sonny out when he wasn't looking.  I really hope she is not a mole being placed to start shit in the Cullen family.  It is starting to look that way to me.  So sad I really liked her even though she hoe'd it up on the first night.  OOPS......but then again so did Maggie and Bella as well.  I swear the Cullen men must be blessed with magical peen it made these three women put out the first night real easy.  They were dickmatized I guess.  Can't wait for the next chapter to see how things progress ****crosses fingers*** with Sonny and Maggie.  This story is the highlight of my week it makes my day when it updates.

First of all you are awesome for updating a day early.  I squealed again this morning when I say it.  What can I say about Chapter 24....crazy rollercoaster ride as promised.  When the shit hits the fan.....it hit it hard.  Dame and Amelia are on rocky ground right now.  Her standing by him is commendable but lashing out at other people is not cool.  What she said to Maggie in the kitchen was downright bitchy.  Then to turn around and say shit to Sonny about Maggie even more shady.  Her confession to Bella was a long time coming.  She sat on that secret for awhile now and she should have pushed Dame to tell his parents but she did not.  Her getting mad at Bella at the aftermath was ridiculous.  I used to like Amelia....now not so much.  I get the whole situation with Dame has her stressed but damn girl put your big girl panties on.  Her being preggo right now is the icing on the cake.  Both are at fault, it takes two to tango.  It is simple to say kill Lauren....because as a Mom I can see Bella's pov.  But makes things complicated is that her children are and/or were involved with Sonny and Kylie.  This such a tangled web.  Can't wait until Saturday....it is going to be epic just like this chapter...I have a feeling.  You are a masterful storyteller...keep doin' what you are doing.

Wow this chapter blew me away just as you promised it would!  Lauren got what was coming to her.....no one could save her she did it to herself.  Now that she is gone Katie could grow the fuck up and not be poisoned by her Mom.  Now that Dame has received closure from this nightmare he can grow and mature not just as a man but as a human being.  He needs to go back to square one and learn the basics.....basic human emotions and reactions.  This is where Amelia can prove herself is to stand by him.   No lie I used to love her character Lexi........but the last couple of chapters make me want to bitch slap her.....sorry.  As for Sonny and Maggie, I love them so much but......Sonny needs to get off the baby train for awhile.  He already has a daughter coming any day now but is so desperate to knock Maggie up.  I don't get it.......maybe he is feeling insecure and wants to establish a more permanent connection.  Sonny wake up...she married you and loves you.   Geez give the poor girl a break because she has been through so much.  As always can't wait for the next chapter even though I just finished this one.

Sorry I am only leaving this until now.  Thanksgiving was shitty to say the least....anyway here we go.  I wish I was creative in my reviews like our girl Najs but sadly I'm not.  Wow where to start.....I think Bella is going through a rought time which is understandable.  Alot of shit has went down and because she is the Mama Bear she receives the brunt of the emotions.  She is trying to be strong for her family and it is not easier.  I am glad that Bella and Edward recognized the role they played in getting Dame and Amelia together.  They recognized this as being a mistake in nudging him too strongly when he might not have gone for it himself.  But they both recognized that getting with Amelia was the last thing he needed at that point in time.  I have said this several times and it is what it is.  Now this drama with Amelia and Dame.  From the beginning there was something fishy about Amelia.  From the first night they were together she schemed to trap him.  Him being a med student going in with no rubber the first night dumb move on his part.  She confirmed said entrapment to copping to the fact that she lied to him about taking the pills when at the time she said she was.  SHADY BITCH FOR REAL!  It is pretty obvious she had to have been given an incentive to go through with this.  All signs point to her Dad and this is really upsetting and to her admitting he offered her money to continue her relationship with Dame. To push your child to do something like this is low.  Even she realized this now....let's see where this goes from here.  I don't think this is the last we will hear from Amelia.  Her coming back with a bs excuse after they broke up solidifies this.  I love the Dame and Jordan dynamic but they need to keep it casual for now.  Let's see how this goes because we all now Dame doesn't do casual.  He needs to focus on school and his own emotional well being.  If he can do this, then I am all for him getting into a serious relationship with Jordan.  He deserves to be happy and she seems like a nice and stable girl.  He needs stable after enduring the crazy ride he had with Amelia.  Can't wait to see how things will play out for these three!  Love this story it is deep in my heart for real.

Yay we are back to my man Sonny.  Well he is not mine....I wish.  I love him to death too bad he is a character in a story and not a figure in the real world.  Wow so I guess the honeymoon phase is over huh.  It couldn't last forever.  It can't because Sonny is not your average 9 to 5 Joe who works in an office.  He's a hustler and has to chip in his share to the thing.  Maggie has had to grow up real fast in order to keep up with him.  But in this chapter we see she is still that naive 18 year old girl with stars in her eyes.  Her expectations were unrealistic.  Maybe she didn't have the big picture of who he was when they got together but she still knew more than Bella did in the beginning.  She will grow and mature it will just take time.  She is spoiled because Sonny spoiled her rotten to make up for her parents being so cheap.  She is going to always expect things to be the way it was in the beginning.  That is why it is called the honeymoon phase.  I am glad they talked everything out and she recognized her shortcomings as well and communicated her fears to Sonny.  You don't know how much I want these two to outshine everyone because they had so much shit thrown at them.  When they rise above all this drama it will be a big FU to all the haters.  Leave the poor girl alone about the baby issue for real.  When I was 18 I was concerned about finishing high school not having babies.  I can see where she is coming from.  It seems like everyone is pressuring her to have a baby now.  I hope this doesn't become a much bigger issue than it is right now.  Hopefully things will get better from here but who knows life in the Storm series is unpredictable.  The rest of the cast of characters are hilarious.  The winner being Ed Sr.  Can't wait for the drama to unfold.  Love ya to death and the Storm Series.

First of all I begin with Edward and Bella. Wow they are so in tune with one another and still so crazy about one another after all these years. That is something to aspire to. I love how you have Bella bring up the quiet before the.....and he cuts her off. Simply genius! We get a glimpse at Edward and how he is preparing Sonny for the role as boss. Essentially he has made him boss all but officially. It will be interesting to see where Sonny decides to take things.

Now my favorite subject.....Sonny. I love him to death.....for a fictional character. My husband is lucky he is fictional and not here in real life because if he was I make no promises lol. He is loyal, confident, and strong. He has the traits to be boss. Him butting heads with Edward is Edward's way I think to prepare him but to also bust his chops a bit. Sonny's comments how Dame gets off easy are not really off the mark. I think Edward is trying not to get Dame involved with the life. How much that will work remains to be seen. If he wants an ordinary life and a future with Jordan I think he will keep his nose clean. Knowing you Lexi, I have a feeling something will happen that will pull him in. So excited that the story is heading into a Sonny/Dame arc. I would like to hear from baby girl a.k.a. Kylie too. Edward still likes to look at her as a a little girl but he is in denial lol. We all have to grow up sometime. With the direction the story is going in I hope we will hear more from Maggie as well. She has been through so much in this story. I love her as well even if some of the readers don't like her.

I will end this here I think.

Love this story,

Hey Lexi Gemgirl here!  Finally leaving a review....sorry I am lazy with that.  This chapter was well worth the wait.  You nailed it....every emotion you feel when you are giving birth for the first time.  You are excited in a good and bad way.  I agree with Bella telling off the doctor.  He should not have put her through that.  When you do the final scans they have a pretty good idea how big the baby is going to be.   She is petite and being her first birth it was unnecessary grief for her to be put through that.  My first birthing experience was not great at all.  I can relate to her frustration at the doctor lol.  I guessed correctly about the name.  I had a feeling she was going to name him that.  Such a beautiful chapter.  But what I love most about you as an author is the subtle little hints you dropped last chapter.  No I am not going to write my feelings on that.  You have to draw your own conclusions.  Loved this chapter so much.
