That was so much fun! You really captured the feel of a high stakes operation and I adored the classic, eloquent villain mansion. I was really drawn into the world of exotic aquatics, richly woven theme from the setting to the poignant ending with Neal's painting. I've always wanted to use jellyfish poison in story, so it was nice to see it used so successfully and with great effect here.

This was a lovely read with awesome tension, including Neal's helpful banter while in pain, and Peter's steady thinking and support. The ending was the perfect cherry on top.
