A few hours ago I was sent the finalists for the Gordon Edgley Book Review competition, where people had to review books that they (or anyone else) had never actually read. These reviews were BRILLIANT. We got some of the best, most imaginative responses back, and it was not easy picking winners.
But picking winners is what I had to do, and so the winners are Patricia Snake, Sophie Carter, Ella Corkum and Katie Roberts-Malpass.
Huge congratulations to the winners, and a huge congratulations to EVERYONE who entered. You have kept me entertained...!

(*hugs Death tightly* awww, don't apologise
They are good Gar)
(*hugs Deathy*)
no sorry needed sweetheart. Everything's okay.
Phaestra: It is not about the cards you were dealt. It is about making the most of what you have.
(Hey Em, how are you?)
Yup and we have only just started, *keeps walking* upstairs is the bedrooms, the swimming pool and the balcony, up ahead is the living room, games room, library and the conservatory which leads to the garden
Tawnee: This is like heavan...*says quietly* and...I get to stay here?
*smiles, looking back over her shoulder*
Yeah. S'pose it is.
*runs*
Yup for as long as you like *smiles*
Tawnee: *smiles* you are kind hearted, Garrett. And you are my first friend
(Hello)
Aww thank you *continues smiling* and your welcome, please call me Garr.
Phaestra: *calls after her* You are still not free, you know?
*shouts back* I know!
*runs faster*
*cuddles Rose*
(hello Ed/Lament, how art thou?)
Tawnee: Okay, Gar *smiles sweetly*
(I am fine thanks, how are you?)
(hello ed)

(Hello Gar)
(I am doing psychology hm, so could be worse ^^)
Tawnee: *nods* yes please
Cole: *takes Inky Into cottage*
*she is still sobbing*
(Psycology, not too bad then)
*Sits in bar drinking*
Ok follow me *runs up stairs*
*Appears in cottage* Hello again
Y you could have let me finish my drink!
COle: *says quietly* sorry, Inky. Christ. Ive never seen you like this...
Tawnee: *runs after him*
COle: *turns* what do you want?
I wish to offer my apologies for yesterday
*gets to the top* on the right is my room and on the left is your room both are en suite, enjoy.
Cole: its okay, but we need to find Ed
Tawnee: *gives Gar a hug* thank you ever so much. You are spoiling me
Already found him *grins* I don't think he will be returning
Cole: where is he *growls*
*perks up* y you found him?
*stops a decent way away from Phae*
*okay min listen up. I'm offering you a deal. You don't hurt anyone in blogland, not one person, or their property. At all. In return I'll come along*
*Backs away from Cole* Yes, he... I don't know how to say it
*accepts hug* I'm not spoiling you its just how i had the place built, so go have a look around and remember what's mine is yours within reason of course *laughs* would you like to meet Mortimer?
*Mumbles quietly about this and that and fades*
Minerve: *shadows spill from Silente, landing on the floor in front of her and solidifying into her form*
Come along where, mortal?
Cole: tell me
Tawnee: *tilts head* Mortimer? is that your brother?
(Death?)
First of all, what do I get?
With you. To your relm. As yours.
Minerve: As my what?
Rose?
Cole: Bribery? That is dishonourable...what do you require?
Pet. Toy. Okay thing. Possession.
*Thinks* To be a werewolf
No Mortimer is my pet, he lives in the garden.
Loki...
Tawnee: I like animals *smiles* id be delighted to meet him
Cole: *stares at him* but why...? it is dangerous to turn a human into a wolf
Minerve: An interesting offer. However, if I wished to own you, I would have taken you already. I refuse your deal.
Don't worry, all I need is blood and I can change my NA from that. I know the risks
*DNA
Ok *shadow walks to the garden* *goes into a barn and brings Mortimer out* this is Mortimer, he's a rhino.
Okay then. What, out if interest, would be the price of such a deal?
Cole: Okay...how much do you need?
are you actually going to...?
Cole: its for you, princess
*Grins* Excellent, around a few litres will be enough
Tawnee: *stares* a rhino....ive never seen one before...*whispers* is he dangerous?
Minerve: More possessions. Perhaps I would own half of this place, and not harm the other half.
In show choir one boy is going to Comic Con on Friday and he's going to the Marvel panel. It's in NYC, so this is how terrified he is of me now.
You're going to Comic Con?! Okay if you see Tom Hiddleston there get me and auotgraph please.
V: And for me!
He plays Loki, you know him yes?
Boy: Yup..two autographs.
V: I'll shank you if you meet him and don't.
You'll be dead. Deader then Coulson and in more pain then Loki was when Hulk smashed him.
Boy: ok! I'll tell him two crazy fangirls have dibs on my head if I don't.
Nope he is not dangerous, unless he's angry but he doesn't get angry often so its ok, come give him a pat.
Cole: Litres? that'll kill! I can always change you the normal way
Distant... School preparations...
Kill? I know. The normal way? Please explain
Tawnee: *pats Mortimer* good rhino...
That isn't mine to offer.
Understood, love.
Cole: *sighs* it is rare for humans to change, but it can happen. The normal method is for me to maul you as a wolf. If you turn wolf, you will heal quickly. If not, you die
Mortimer: *nuzzles tawnee*
me: i think he likes you.
*jumps off of Elleni's bed, walking outside*
*she stretches, looking around for other people*
I will just take the blood please
Tawnee: *giggles* Mortimer....
*to Gar* where did you get him?
COle: *quiet for a moment* Inky, pass me your dagger.
*shakes head* w what are you going to...
Cole: you need Ed back, this may be our only chance
*spots Dug*
*waves*
Before you do, I need to tell you what happened to Ed. Something changed, he flipped.
Minerve: Then have a think.
W what does that mean? please...tell me
*stiffens, not waving back*
I got him from a zoo.
(my favorite lyrics from a song:
Freeze...
At ease...
Let Funny Man bang on these keys
I'm about to get it crackin' and freaky deaky
All the ladies in the world just dyin' to meet me
Cause nothin' about me is ever cheesy
I'll get you in the bed and make it squeaky squeaky
*Chase sat on the porch, leaning on his cane as he watched his son train. Lorcan was doing laps around the garden before practising kick boxing on a stuffed punching bag.
Chase had aged well, looking slightly older than his dimensional counterpart and his son Lorcan had aged well too.
Now at the age of 21, Lorcan was training to take his father's place as a Guardian of the Light. But he also inherited some of his mother's werewolf genes so he had to tame his inner beast before he could take over his father's duties.
He also looked completely different from his dimensional counterpart. With dark brown hair and deep but bright blue eyes, it was hard to recognise him without his silver features.
Chase coughed just as Emerald walked out with two cups of tea before sitting down beside her husband.*
Emerald: He's been at that for 3 hours, he's going to burn himself out.
Chase: Ah he's alright. Remember when he did this for 7 hours over some girl on Facebook.
Emerald: Oh yes! Leave him to it then. How's your fever?
Chase: Better. I'm definitely starting to feel the cold now.
Well, I don't think much of the Ed you know is left in there.
(Gar...)
Tawnee: A zoo? thank you for rescuing him from captivity. He seems happy here. Now I need to show you something...stay here
*goes behind the stable*
*undresses*
*changes into her silvery dragon form*
*emerges*
*sags slightly at Dugs reaction*
I can't offer what I don't have Min. Bye.
*walks towards Dug*
*shakes head* I can help him...I can!
Minerve: *vanishes in a mist of shadows*
(I will be back soon.)
(If a disappear, it is because I'm goin to school in a sec...)
*Cuddles Loki*
I have an idea. Cole, you want to protect her yes?
Cole: I will protect her
(gar, this is what her dragon form looks like
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/284/6/1/the_silver_dragon_by_yamber-d30jkm8.jpg)
That's early today, Rose. *cuddles*
Well, I will take Cole to see Ed and if he says it is safe I will take Inky as well ok?
Cole: *nods* okay
(who likes the muppets?)
*she doesn't move, just watches Silente approach, uneasy*
Wow that is amazing, you look so pretty.
(what *looks puzzled* i did say those are my favorite lyrics from that particular song)
*Cole and Lament appear in the middle of the arctic. An ice palace is formed in the centre with hundreds of bodies impaled on spikes around it*
Tawnee: *lowers her head to him*
thank you...
*talks telepathically*
Cole: very interesting....
After you *Points to stairs leading to palace*
*smiles in a friendly way and speaks softly*
Hey dug...
(that's really cool inks.
and i do like the Muppets,

Cole: *walks up stairs*
(Ive seen most wanted

*she doesn't smile back, just looks at Sil, he r eyes unreadable*
Hey.
*Stairs lead to a large room filled with computers and missiles* *Ed is sat at a computer with messy hair and a short beard starting to grow*
Cole: *approaches him* Ed, Inky has been worried
*Ed turns with a mad look in his eye* *He jumps landing just in front of Cole*
Ed: Why shouldn't I kill you
Are you....how are you?
Cole: because I decide if Inky should come here or not. She hasn't been right since you left. Inky will die at this rate
(Rose you have to ded...)
CAN EVERYONE JUST TAKE A MOMENT OR SEVEN TO APPRECIATE HOW AWESOME CHLOE IS
(The weather in UK has been horrible today)
Ed: You saw the bodies out front? Death takes everything. *Goes back to wiring a missile*
(Tia...that is nice but can you stop...*looks hopeful*)
Cole: so..what? don't you care if she dies *anger grows*
*avoids her gaze*
Fine. I'm great. Yep.
Ed: When I am finished everything will be dead *Types on one of the computers*
Cole: *to Lament* we have to get Inky here
L: We? No, you *Cole appears back in cottage*
Dug..
*sounds upset*
I'm sorry...
Cole: Wait! *roars*
*jumps* wh what happened?
Cole: *hugs her* We need to get you to him soon, but Lament wont help
(Gar?)
Your very welcome my dragon friend.
Yeah. Sure fine.
*her hands unconsciously brushes the huge scar on her hip*
*Lament appears in bar laughing*
Tawnee: want a ride?
(yup I'm still here i was just watching the vid, and then i found another one which was funny.)
*Inkys legs buckle, she grows weak*
Cole: *catches her* come on, everyone here seems to end up at the bar
*takes her to the bar*
*sees Lament*
Cole: *pleads* you have to help her...she is growing weaker...take her to see him please...and ill make you a werewolf
no...
Cole: shhh, its okay
Sure why not * jumps on tawnee's back*
(Okay Tiger ^^)
Tawnee *flies high up in the sky*
*flies above blogland*
Werewolf first, then I will think about helping
()
*She had been given strict instructions. A direction and a time. Miss it and miss her chance. She couldn't risk it. She was usually late. She wasn't going to be late today.
She found the street with little difficulty and the house that she needed. Right there. Two men and a woman.
When her eyes landed on Chase, her face tightened. He was older, which was odd. Older and gentler, almost. The other, a younger man, she had no idea. His face was familiar yet it wasn't. She recognised the woman, too. Emerald.
She forced a frown onto her face but felt a grin starting to pull. She surprised that she had actually been given the right address. She made her way up the path, almost weary of the young man who seemed to be destroying a punching bag.
That could be your face...
She hid a shiver behind a roll of her shoulders, and approached Emerald*
Hey there. My name is Cynthia Rose. I would like to talk to your husband, and Lorcan, if he's here. Is that alright? I'm a friend of a friend... I'm afraid a have some terrible news...
*She hoped her lie wasn't obvious. Her voice changed completely to one of remorse when she spoke of this 'terrible news'. She gave a whoop of victory inside her mind when her eyes turned sad*
He was a good man...
(Loki, it's not actually early. Daylight savings is a bitch.)
Cole: *sits Inky down*
*produces a dagger*
*stabs himself in the stomach*
*Inky screams* No!!
*winces at the sight of the scar*
Oh...Christ...dug...i-im so, so sorry...
*Collects blood* That will be all. *Vanishes*
*quickly moves her hand, stuffing it into her coat pocket*
*softly*
Did you at least..
Are you free?
Cole: *collapses* I inky...make sure he takes you
*kneels down next to him* Idiot...why?
Cole: I had feelings for you once. I care deeply for you
I can see my house from here and the bar, wow this is just amazing thank you Tawnee.
(hmmm, I like the band 'breaking Benjamin')
*Reappears* You know, Ed is pretty much a different person. You two could have worked. Oh, won't your vampire friend be able to heal him?
Tawnee: this is the least I could do
*goes spiralling down to earth*
*lands with such grace*
I shall change now
Sil...I haven't seen her
*rings Sil* Hello?
No. I slapped Min. She refuses to help...and is now stronger in blogland...
*Chase frowned as Emerald stood up and walked out to face Rose. She looked at Lorcan, who hadn't noticed anything yet. The look of concern on her face, what relative, what friend is dead now.*
Emerald: I'm Emerald, I'm Lorcan's mother. If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you would talk to me and my husband first, Lorcan has to finish his training.
Is it really terrible? Who have we lost?
*She offered her hand and showed her to a seat up on the porch, just in front of where her and Chase had been sitting.*
(I've thought about thi and i think it will be cool, I'm going to ship Tawnee and Garrett, it shall be called Tawnett / Garrnee, i can see it coming if things go smoothly.
-R, (<Garrett's author)
OH! It's 8:30am...we don't switch until around Halloween. So I'm 15 hours or 13 hours behind.-Zaf
*answers the phone sounding close to tears* hello?
(That is a great idea Tiger ^^)
A are you busy...can I take two seconds of your t time? *cries herself*
Ok Taw, i won't look *looks away*
(you think so to Inks?)
(Yes, I think they would be good together)
Tawnee: *goes behind the stable and changes back*
*emerges human, fully clothed, minus the bandages*
*cuddles Rose again*
Where are you?
T the pub...Cole n needs help
This is nice *laughs awkwardly*
(shall me make it happen then Inks, and i like diary of Jane by breaking Benjamin)
*Continues to collect blood*
(okay ^^
I was just listening to that...no im listening to mayday parade's cover of somebody I used to know)
Tawnee: *smiles sweetly* it is, Gar
Cole?
*looks apologetically at dug and motions one minute*
*steps through a portal into the pub*
*to L* Stop Lament! you must have enough
()
Oh great. You've done it now.
*She smiled thankfully and took the seat she was offered. Emerald and Chase, Lorcan's parents*
Chase, Emerald, okay, that was a lie. I'm going to blunt with you. Chase, Lorcan, the ones we know are dead. They're were from a parallel dimension. But Lorcan, the other dimensional Lorcan, he has a daughter... And Casha...
So, I was wondering if you would allow me to tell this to your son... Chase, Emerald... I'm sorry...
*sees Sil* please help him...hes an old friend of mine..
*Cuddles Loki happily*
Boo!
I only needed a little bit *Laughs and vanishes*
gtg, bye
(okay Ed)
*rolls her eyes, not really caring*
(bye ed) (here we go then)
Taw we've know each other for a bit and i feel a connection between us, do you feel it too?
Tawnee: *blushes* um...yes *looks at the floor*
*Chase looked down at the floor as Emerald gasped in surprise.*
Chase: I heard some people crossed over. I never realised that they were... us.
What happened to them?
Emerald: More importantly, we have a granddaughter? And who is Casha?
*Emerald was trying to take the situation as seriously as she could but she wasn't sure whether she faltered by showing a slight smile when she asked about a granddaughter.*
*crouches and heals cole quickly, a sufficient amount for survival although not completely healed*
*steps back through the portal*
Dug...how can I make it up to you?
Tha *shes gone* oh
Cole: Inky, Im sorry. I should have taken you in the first place...
*shakes head* no, I am sorry for getting to into this mess
()
To put it simply, Chase was killed. He wanted to take Ariana, Lorcan's daughter. And Lorcan...? He was killed for abusing Casha, by Ariana. And Casha. She is the most amazing person I've ever met. She and Lorcan are together. Casha is Ariana's mum. She's pregnant, now, too. With Lorcan's child.
Do you want to be my girlfriend?
Tawnee: *blushes* o okay *smiles*
(Hewwo El ^^)
Ok *grins* shall we hug?
(this is going to be funny, thanks Inks ;) (
El?? I..I didn't want to...
(No problem Tiger)
Tawnee: Okay *hugs him*
(Hello El how are you?)
*her tone is slightly sarcastic*
Well you tortured me once, I forgave you. I've broke up out of jail twice and helped you when you got in fights or tried to kill yourself and then you torture me again, hoping to help yourself and then it does nothing but make the god of Death and whatever stronger here?! Do you really expect me to forgive you?!
*her voice got louder and louder, almost shouting at the end*
(I'm laughing my butt of right now *grins*)
lets go to the bar and get a celebratory drink.
(Distant... Classes have started...)
*Emerald tried not to but she ended up letting go a small squeal of excitement.*
Emerald: We have grandchildren?! Oh my gosh... That is just...
Chase: Em, relax my love. We have to decide how to break it to Lorcan. How he could be a father without even having sex with someone.
Emerald: Oh my gosh, you're right.
*She looked over at her son who was now high kicking the punching bag. He looked so focused, that nothing else in the world mattered but that wasn't true. He had children out there, with no father. No family connection.*
Emerald: He needs to know Chase. If not for him, but for the kids.
Chase: If you think that's what's best dear but I have a nervous feeling about this.
(lol *smiles*)
Tawnee: *giggles* okay
(it seems like she can only say 'okay')
*winces, flinching*
S-sorry...I...im a shit friend...
**goddess
Ya think?!
*she's so angry, not really caring how badly she hurt Sil*
*she hugs Elleni back, ignoring Sil*
Hey El!
Please dug...there has to be a way...
Well, we - Casha's brother and myself - were going to tell you guys this, and I guess we have. Would you like to come over...? I'm sure they wont mind. The others might not trust you all too much, Hell, I don't like you, Chase, but it's not your fault. Your para-you tried to steal Ariana. And Lorcan... Wait!
*She turned, looking over her shoulder at the yoing man*
That's Lorcan? My God! He's so... He's so different! He's... Maybe they'd just distrust you, Chase.
*sneers*
Like what? What do you think could possibly help?
Lets go *gets ready to shadow walk*
(i reckon its because she is nervous, look at Garr he's not sure what to do really)
Apologizes, food occurrd.
*Leif appears on Rose's head*
(Haha yes
One last comment and I must depart I'm afraid)
Tawnee: *holds onto him*
(We will finish this tomoz ^^)
*takes a step away, hurt flashing in her eyes*
*is still sneering*
No, really. I'm curious. What do you think?
Chase: What do you mean he is so different? And don't worry about me, I can handle a bit of distrust.
Emerald: We can go and see the baby?!
*She just couldn't contain her smile any more, the thought of being allowed to meet her first grandchild.
Lorcan started strolling back towards the house. He had his towel around his neck, rubbing deeply into his brown hair while sipping on a bottle of water.
He slowed down when he saw Rose with his parents.*
Lorcan: Is everything okay?
*She laughed and pulled Leif off her head*
Hey, sweetie.
I-I don't know..p-pay back?
*her lip curls but she looks thoughtful*
Hmf.
Pay back.
Leif: Momma!!!
He spoke! Can Kari speak?
*glares at Silente before letting herself be lead away*
*calls over her shoulder*
We'll see.
