Summary: A familiar foe has returned. A game of sorts, a game that has been played many times over, a game that taunts Edward's guilt-ridden sense of humanity. This time he must win, for good. It has to end now. Vamp/AU/OOC/M for Violence/Lang/Themes/Sex
i love when i find a story that is fifteen or more chapters in and i fall in love. it's like a much wanted birthday gift. i read the first chapter last night Dark Games & Twisted Minds and immediately fell in love. today i devoured the additional eighteen chapters. i am a big AU girl so if you tell me edward has a hard time controlling his bloodlust i am there!
one of my favorite things about this AU is the time katinki put into showing us the extent that bella's blood actually called to him. i always felt that SMeyer missed the mark on that point. to say that bella is edward's singer is an awfully strong statement in my opinion. i don't believe that edward should have been able to sit next to bella for an hour that day in class. at the very least he could have run out of the class and feigned sickness. this story shows exactly how hard it was for edward to refrain from draining her. this quote says it all.
"It was truly a siren, a lilting, seductive beckoning call to which his body was involuntarily drawn."
the first thing i noticed about this story is that the author does a third person narrative beautifully! after reading this i realized that my new favorite thing is 3rd person narrative. katinki does a superb job with descriptions and visualization. i love how her chapters are not super long but packed full. she moves the story and plot but takes time to make us feel like we are also on the ride.
oh and i love how katinki brings in cannon quotes and events into her story. it all started with twilight, right? from bella telling edward that tomorrow is her turn to ask the questions, to edward calling james absolutely lethal. so good.
although i prefer AU stories, i must say it is easier to find a good AH story. so when i find a really good AU i hold on for dear life. this story has quickly made it to my favorites tab on ff.net and i only have nine stories on there...
also Dark Games & Twisted Minds has made it to the final round in three categories for the 2010 Indie Twific Awards: best action/drama, AU WIP that knocks you off your feet, and best secondary characterization.
if you like it, vote for it. voting opens the evening of 3/15 and ends 3/24
