hey there..
i didn't want to write my reviews till the end because it is what matters the most to me...the end
so i just finished this one...i totally loved it...and i don't know if you answer reviews but i have no other way to ask this;
this could be totally my fault..maybe i missed something but at the end i didn't know did spike still has his soul or no!!!
when i first read that he no longer had his soul i was confused.cause from what i know spike's soul is permenant and can't be lost...and i didn't understand WHY would he lose it?!!...then came what giles said about him not killing kennedy (i wish he did...HATE HER!!!!) and i thought maybe spike still has his soul .....but by the end of it i couldn't decide which one you meant!!!
and along the story everybody was wondering how could spike -even as a vampire- lasted this long with such damage...and i thought you're going to give a surprise about that at the end
other than that, the story is amazing...of the best i read
and thank you so much for giving "tall, dark and forehead" hard time at the end
LOL

Author's Response: Hey, thanks for the review.
The story is not finished yet, but the reason Spike's soul is gone is the spell that Willow performed, the one from Tara's book.
The spell returned him to what he was... ie a souless vampire.
He lasted as long as he did because of the fact that he is a supernaturally animated corpse. A human would have died within hours if not sooner.
And don' t worry Kenendy will get what's coming to her. lol
