You know I have to scold you for having Rowan have an illegitimate child, right? Because it is only the most cliche choice EVER! I was on the edge of my seat during the conversation between Linden and Meadow waiting to see if you would do the "affair with the twin brother" and I was so glad you dodged that trap. But you still took the "illegitimate child with my high school boyfriend" route.
That said, pssh! I'm a romance writer, so I'll be doing the same thing and scolding myself. Sometimes you just have to. I was sure it was coming, but life is pretty predictable, so there you go. You probably knew when you were writing that there would be some backlash.
Now, the goods! You fit a lot into this chapter and there were a lot of scene breaks, so I'm still wrapping my head around it. I'm loving the new information we've received at the beginning of the chapter. I admit, when I started reading, I wasn't convinced that the witch meets vampire story would be that compelling, but it seems like you've put a lot of thought into it.
YAY GABRIEL! You can not keep that boy away for so long. I loved his reaction to seeing Linden and I loved his reaction to Linden's identity even more! But I'm still waiting for more drama between him and Willow. Or at least more intimacy. They currently have the status of a boring, old married couple.
And I love, love, love your sets in this chapter. I love Rowan's apartment and I love the store where Meadow works. All around beautiful!
