![]() ![]() I’ve never experienced anything but love for what IA write, and I appreciate all the enjoyment I’ve gotten out of your work, authors. They see the beauty in younger people and when they are pains in the asses, they see the fun in that, too. She was super grim and just….lost the sparkle that made her an amazing character. It completely ruined the character for me and many other readers. It happened in another extremely well known UF/R series where they had a young character and they aged her to the point where she could have a romantic arc with an older character (much older….not like Derek) and it wouldn’t be creepy (not saying this was the reason behind the choice to take the story there, but that was the net effect). And the worst outcome, though this would not happen from IA, is that something would get written where Julie is, in becoming an adult, stripped of everything that makes her so wonderful. My #1 hope from this team is that they continue the Grey Wolf series. Tough, funny, totally age appropriate in how she was written (I am sure there is no shortage of source material), a unique character, and patient with Derek, who is a hot mess and my other favorite. ![]() I’m a psychotherapist who specializes in ages 15 – 25 and I just like that age, so maybe I’m not representative, but how could people hate her?
