Hello!
I read your story and I really enjoyed the first half of it. I like how the sisters' story is developing and I like your writing style. But the end was really strange and Juliana accepted too fast what Maribeth was doing and what she wanted to do to her. It felt jus strange and although I like your story, but I don't like the end at all. It happened too fast and the end came too soon.
Anyway, I like the folk legend about these creatures and it was really creative. I hope to read more of your works.
It still disturbs me that you write Juliana's sister once Maribeth than Maribel. Does she have two names, or it is a mispelling?
