One of my very favorite chapters in this story and such an abrupt end, yes. That drawingnroom scene !!!! Ohhhh Rose!
And so sweet how Von Armin described Scrap’s love for her Mother as the kind that grows warmer with absence…. What a fantastic writer you have introduced us to Mandy. How can we ever thank you?

The surprises in this chapter stunned me! And I loved the descriptions of how each person prepared for dinner: quite telling. Thank you Mandy💞🌟

I love the word "inventor", ie: liar! Hahaha! This is a fabulous book! And you are just the person to read it aloud! Thank you Mandy!

P.S. I have a system! If i have not rated a chapter, that means I fell asleep during your reading, so I must re-listen, during the day, and THEN I rate it (all 5's of course!) and move on to the next chapter!

Oh my!!!
Did this one end without a “To be continued” ?
I usually get to the end and wake up as you say this but I feel like it cut off this time?? Just at the best bit too!!! Am I just missing some?

My-my! What a story! I’ve listened twice, but still don’t know how the chapter ends. It seems the more captivating, the easier it puts me to sleep. I’ll have to listen again! Thank you Mandy for your excellent reading!!
