very good opening chapter. thank you for the fine read.

 I don't normally care for fics where Buffy is turned ,but I absolutly love everything else I've read that you've written, which is pretty much everything I could find.  I am not sure I am going to love the story, however I am  already enjoying the writting. You have a wonderful "turn of phrase" 

Oh, poor Spike.  Great start

It must be like a second bereavement for Spike.  Great start.

This must be what it is like to be truly soulless..devoid of any feeling...Scary!

Really good start, keen to see where you take this,

Ah, but I guess she's been having trouble with feelings for quite a while.  Terrific start that'sopen to so many possibilities.  Thanks.

 That was a low-blow letter.  Guess she thought it best to have Dawn hate her for leaving.. than knowing the truth. 

 Poor Spike.. babysitting the slayer.. it might have been best to let her die.  I guess when a new slayer appears they will figue it out..
She was cold hearted before.. now a reality and probably worse. 

 How's the book?

Another great story from you, that is clear.  I love seeing you write and post here.  You're so great.  Thanks.
