Okay, you've messaged me again. You began it with "Yes, Sir;" is that a yes to my question about the vampires? It happens that I do enjoy the relationship between your heroine and her big brother, for I have two younger sisters toward whom in their childhood I related similarly; in fact, the youngest, who is eight years younger than I, was practically _raised_ by me. (Not that our parents were negligent, but I had a lot to do with teaching my baby sister about life and the world--and about God.)
