The links for the continuing parts are not working. A blank page opens up. [Editor's Note: We're uncertain what the problem was. The pages were always loading fine for us. 07-17-2010] - angela - Jun-24-2010   

Part 2 links to part 1 and part 3-5 to part 2, http://xenafiction.net/scrolls/cam_taylor_better_the_devil_you_know2.html
Both pages are blanc [Editor's Note: Umm...the links are correct. I just went through the whole story. Refresh your browser (F5 or Ctrl-F65) on each part that seems to lead to the wrong place.] - Josje - Jul-22-2010   

I have the same problem, only the first page displays, the next one is blank. [Editor's Note: Try refreshing the browser page, clearing your cache, and rebooting your computer. The files really are there... Honest.] - Anonymous - Jul-24-2010   

hmmm, still doesn't appear to work, refreshed, rebooted, even tried typing the file manually still 1st page only and the rest, nada. :-( - Anonymous - Jul-31-2010   

Never could get the links to work in IE8. Wound up downloading Firefox for something else, and thought I'd give this another try. It works with the Firefox...Lovely story, by the way. I put it on my watch list and can't wait to read more. - Angela - Aug-06-2010   

It's working in IE now. Thanks a bunch. - Angela - Aug-09-2010   

These were great characters and was very well written. Enjoy! - rleef - Sep-17-2010   

definitely take the time to read. good plot, good characters. - ~M - Sep-23-2010   

Good story but I wanted to smack those "investigators" up the side of the head a few times. They seemed clueless and basically lucked out "just in time". I don't think I would place my safety in their hands. - Anonymous - Sep-23-2010   

That was a good story. It was fairly well written other than the not so convincing plot, but still good enough to take the time to read. - uber goober - Apr-03-2011   

Good story. Hot romance with a bit of angst. Great ending. Okay, some readers may think the investigators are kinda dumb from all their failures, but personally, I think, all circumstances considered, its more realistic this way. The author doesn't make superheroes or geniuses out of her characters, and they're not incredibly lucky either. They're just doing their jobs they best that they can. My only concern is they seem a bit young/inexperienced for this kind of dangerous work. God, what am I saying, this is just a story. So enjoy it like I did! :-) - OMG - Jul-24-2011   

i just finished reading this story and i had a hard time putting it down. its worth a read. good plot twist - Katie of ohio - Dec-04-2014   

Really good read couldn't put it down . - SD - Jun-30-2015
