Everyone here knows Ivy! For those readers there must be a lot of dramatic irony in the stuff that Jake doesn’t know about them. But I’m a newcomer here, so Ivy and her friends are as much a mystery as whatever is going on with Jake. The story works both ways!

Took me right back to high school…I was the weird kid trying to be invisible. I’m settling in for this one with great anticipation!

This was so good Sally! I’d read Ivy and Ixo’s so went back last night and read it again and the other two you mentioned, to get caught up on all the characters. I hope you’ll consider writing more than 1 or 2 serials of this character also. This group of friends reminds me of the Nancy Drew books with a spookier twist. Fitting in can be so hard and others cruel. So glad for friends like Ivy.

Indeed…the world building and characters we know so far have oodles of potential for a couple of series (of books)*

*You surely didn’t think i’d miss a chance to mention your future career path Sally 🤭😉
