This is one of the most amazing fics I've ever read! You literally made my night :) Fantastic job 3

You should publish this. Best writing I've seen this far.

This story is officially my mental cannon for the Night Stalkers! Well written and incredibly enjoyable to read!

Wow, this has got to be the best Blade fic I've read so far. Thank you for a wonderful read. I hope you'll write more fics in this verse, cause, mate? This absolutely rocked. _

Amazingly brilliant, just lost a whole afternoon to this! You got the characters down to a T, something that not many do. Great writing style and a strong plot :-)

Hi Cassie

I found your account, but unfortunately you appear to either have Private Messaging disabled, or I'm just not familiar enough with 's systems to be able to figure out how I message you! Please feel free to drop me a line, and I've updated my profile with the other sites I'm active on :)

I have to review immediately or I'll never be able to form my thoughts into words. It is one of those moments when the flood of consciousness is so great that wrapping it to words seems impossible, but I will try. (Please, I beg of you to excuse my informal writing and any errors that may appear – there will be many – as I have no time to edit this). Now may I start with saying this may be the most amazing work I have ever seen on FanFiction, ever. I have often thought that before, but never actually stated that, for fear of having to bite my tongue, but have surpassed all else by such a long shot that I feel, in this moment, confident to make such a declaration. I am left shell-shocked after your story, literally reeling in your brilliance, so forgive me if I sound slightly awe-struck. Let me now move to my _brief_ constructive criticism. I hate to point it out, since they are so minor and mostly opinionated, but also, I feel I must put them forward because there _are_ so few it would be so easy to fix to perfection (not in this story, but thoughts for forth-coming ones). In the beginning, I felt some instances were _slightly_ repetitive. For example, brining up someone or the other not being stupid, or, eh, let me try to think of another… It has slipped my mind, but just through out the story there were a few occurrences where I thought it was not necessary to re-iterate that point. (The example I gave was not so good, so don’t take that to heart.) Also, just in the beginning, the first few chapters, I felt it moved just a very little bit slower than necessary. Just a small thought, which may be my problem, not yours, but I felt I should mention it. Another thought was maybe when you emphasize a word in a sentence, how you put it in bold for accent, maybe you could put in italics, because to me, bold seems to sharp a contrast, too abrupt, it takes you out of the story while italics emphasizes without jarring. Also, as for the rating, I am personally someone who less often reads M, though not offended, I would usually rather stick to T based stories. I also feel that both M and T now-a-days has such a wide range, so subjective, that it is hard to know what you will get. That said, I think your story would constitute as a moderately low M, or a very high T. I worry though, that having it labeled M may deter potential readers, and I feel it would be indecent to hide a master-piece like this away. So maybe you could consider renaming it T, and adding a strong warning, or just giving note that the M will be less explicit. But, after those small suggestions, let me tell you that unlike so many submissions you had so few errors, spelling, grammar, typo’s ect., that I am so impressed and think this should be a standard for all writer on this cite to live up to. You obviously put so much work into this piece, not only writing, but editing and editing again, thinking through the plot and just _everything_, that I know I could not have done this and I am so in awe. Now I would like to mention your absence of author’s note gave the tone of a real book, very professional and in ykeeping with your style (although I did miss the insight into writer’s personality that comes from the intimate moment of sharing a story) I also wanted to note the authenticity of the this story. So many times I forgot I was on FanFiction and thought I was reading a published book online, so bravo, very impressive. I wish also to comment on the epilogue, which so often I feel ruins an ending, taking us out of the story, but yours I loved. My heart squeezed up tight as I thought of all that has happened. Thank you. Moving on so I may continue singing your praises let me say your style is brilliant. You always portray each character, each scene, each relationship and interaction, from romance to fighting, to emotional turmoil to straight up plot development, so beautifully, each scene immaculate, each character unique and deep. This story is so original! A beautiful back-story, the flow is brilliant. I love how you have taken each piece and woven together. There is no end to my thrill from your work. Now that I have but myself in the awkward position of having been misrepresented, but I must confess I have never seen, or even heard of, the Blade movies (although I did watch the third, Trinity, after finishing this story). I came across “The Lies You Live” while searching FanFiction for some work in the Matrix category, and became confused, thinking it was some cross over, when I saw the name Trinity come up under Blade. That said, may I now ask, to clear up lingering confusion, is the third movie the only one with Abigail, King, Dex, Hedges, and Frank in it? If so, I am evan more impressed by your ability to create this whole world out of barely anything. If not, please pardon my ignorance. Also, in my research I discovered references to comic books, how do those play in to this world? Where do these characters truly develop from? Anyways, you have most certainly converted a new fan, for I have already fallen in love with the characters. I suppose before I go any farther I should check when this was written to see if you are evan still here, for for all I no, you could have last checked FF years ago, and note care an iota for this story. Ah, but it seems this is more recent, so thank goodness I have not missed you. Anyways, May I end by saying I am thrilled to see so many more stories listed under your name, I anticipate greatly reading them. As a last note though, is there a way I may get in contact with you? I know you mist likely have no patience for a heart-swooning fan, and I would hate to bother you, taking up your time when you do not care, but if you would answer my questions I would be eternally grateful. I hesitate to give my E-Mail though, since all these modern evils that we must be wary of. Anyways, I will tell you that, although I have not taken the time to log in, I have a true account under the same name, and although my less technology savvy, go as far as to say deficient, brain has not figured out how to message fellow writers, perhaps you know a way, so if you wised you could write me. So, this seems to have become quite the epic review, but I had so much to say after the roller-coaster journey that is your story. [Ah, as a side-note, just to finish up, I wanted you to know that I had “best ever”, “fan forever”, “amazing, brilliant, mind-blowing”, and “can I sing your praises” in my notes for this review (yes I actually had to write notes for what I wanted to say to you) so let that indicate my admiration.] But by now you have heard enough from me (two pages if you cared to know), so I will wish you well and dive into your next lovely story. Thank you for all the joy and pleasure you have given me; I wish you nothing but happiness.

Best always - Cassie

P.S. If you have not figured out by now, I have developed an inappropriate level of hero worship for you. : )

Awesome story! I must admit I had my suspicions about Frank. But I still loved it all! You have a great way with words and your characters were absolutely believable! Thanks for sharing this one :)

Poor Abby but Im so not feeling bad about Frank being dead.(I liked Selena,damn it!)and poor King for getting hurt-again.(You can insert an evil chuckle here because..well,hurt King is fun.I like it..not sure what that says about me ;P)

The Night Stalker bit made me laugh and so did "And even if their neighbours did start asking questions, she had no doubt whatsoever that King would have believable answers lined up, given his gift of the gab and mastery of the art of bullshitting." that.I really loved your story and Im a bit sad that its over because theres a serious lack if Abby/King stories out there.

Awesomly awesome!I really enjoyed Abby "bargaining" and hearing the news about how you let us know what was going on inside her head and the tension between the team due to the loss and having to be crammed into the new bolt hole,the patching up and aww,the making written and I even got up a bit earlier to skim over the last chapters before I finally had the time to read them today. ;)

This story definitely deserves a hell of a lot more reviews!Its been awesome so far:your descriptions,the way the characters were behaving,the typical "stupid" comments by King..love,love,love!You know that this is torture,right?That papers due tomorrow...and I still have to write half of it!Sleep is overrated anyway-guess Ill just have to stay awake all night. :)

holy crap, a lot happened in that chapter. first Whistler seeing abby and finally King and Abby gettin close :) Of to read the six more chapters

The plot is getting so fabulous!

Holy hell. I absolutely am in love with the way you write Abby and King. They're fantastic, as is the whole story you've created here. I like it, as well as your one-shots involving them, as well.

I look forward to reading the rest, even if I'm contemplating looking up the place you said this was for just to get my resolution faster. Can't get enough Abby and King. Ever.

Kudos.

I'm super loving this! Very well written and creative!
