Schemes and Dreams

Some thoughts...
Spoiler
I think the new chapter took us by surprise.
For one thing it's a fairly radical shift in direction. I don't think most of us expected this storyline based on what had come before (though I do think Ravyn's audition foreshadowed it a little).
For another, it is a much darker tone than any Tartosan Sun fan would expect from @DaniRose2143. We're used to bright, happy, romantic stories where the good guys win and the bad guys, if they exist at all, are quickly vanquished by our loving and supportive heroes. I think it's really interesting to see our author exploring something different.
Pondering further, I don't think it's actually the Occults element that throws me as much as the unexpectedly dark storyline. We could have had the same effect with Judith and Ravyn being kidnapped by dark and gritty but otherwise ordinary gangsters.
By the same token, unlike @Ellupelluellu, I wouldn't be completely surprised by werewolves showing up on Danielle and Londyn's doorstep... if it was a loving, romantic and supportive couple who just happened to be hot tempered and disappeared into the Tartosan hills on the night of the full moon.
Just my $.02, for whatever it's worth.
