Myralee 2008-05-27 ch 11,	abuseI came across this a couple of days ago and set it aside to read later. Last night I came back to it, and the instant I started reading I couldn't stop. I read from 7pm to 1am, all the while telling myself "Just one more chapter" until I found that there were no more chapters left to read. It's been a long time since I've been able to just sit down and read a fanfic all the way through, at length and enveloped by the plot. I have to say, it's a wonderful feeling to be able to do that again. I'm not even sure how to word this review, because I loved this fic so much, and its such a rarity here in the world of fanfics that I wouldn't even know where to start. You are a magnificent writer; I'm sure you know that. Your use of detail, dialogue and subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) wit is amazing. The characters were true to the show, the plot was constructed and executed very well. And the whole thing was just great. It made me so happy to find a nice plotted, well-written piece, especially one that had such long chapters. I wish this site had more stuff like that! I cannot wait for a sequel, if it's still in the cards. Please keep writing stuff like this so I can keep gushing over it :) ~Myralee Note: Normally I don't point out specific parts of a story in reviews, because for some reason it makes me feel silly, but I also want you to know that Chapter 10 was probably my favorite chapter in this because of the way you balanced suspense and humor when Booth and Brennan were after Giggles. It was frustrating as hell, wanting to know what was gonna happen and having you wave that suspense in the readers' faces, but the exchanges between the two of them actually made me laugh. And that's a compliment. You rule.
Whitelight72 2008-05-25 ch 8,	abuseAnd the penalty for lying to a forensic anthropologist is that no one ever finds and identifies your remains... LOVED THAT!
CarineM 2008-05-25 ch 11,	abuseI love your story and the way you write, your creativity but I didn't like the end mayvbe because I wish it was longer, I don't know. Anyway good story!!
Cathartes 2008-05-22 ch 11,	abuseThis was great, thanks for sharing! I wish the show always had this much sensitivity.
Mona 2008-05-17 ch 11, anon.	abuseWhat a captivating read! Thank you so much for this -- can I interest you in constructive criticism, too? [monanotlisa on lj]
Lazy Cat 2008-04-04 ch 11, anon.	abuseSo, will we get to read the sequel?... Please? =D Giggles is so creepy... I want them to get him!
Lazy Cat 2008-04-03 ch 10, anon.	abuse"Brennan, Queen of the Dead, and Booth, Lord of I-Know-Where-You-Live." LOL That was too damn funny! I like this story. It feels like watching a Bones episode. And that's the kind of fan fiction I prefer. ;)
ambee-monkey124 2008-03-29 ch 1,	abuseWow, where do I begin? I haven't been overly impressed by others fics- they don't capture the feeling of Bones. This fic does-spot on in fact. From the believable dialogue, the spot on characterisation of Booth and Brennan, complete rock solid plot, convincing detail and the writing. Such brilliant writing especially in the moments when Brennan is simply examining the bones. And, oh my, when Booth rescued Brennan . The lines- Booth could feel the intense heat of her torso on his ...a rivulet of rain water traveled down her nose, over her mouth and dripped onto Booth’s bottom lip.' That writing was sizzling and throughout the entire chapter the chemistry was screaming off the page. I never believed their chemistry could be captured by the written word- I'm proven wrong! I'm glad I still have 10 chapters of this to go!
SocksNTies 2008-03-10 ch 1,	abuseI hope there will be a sequel. =)
beaglelvr93 2008-02-29 ch 11,	abuseI just read this fic, and I LOVED IT. Amazing ending. And so sad. I loved the lengthy chapters and how you had Bren kiss Booth to get his gun. Lol. Brilliant! Beagle
Chicklit 2008-02-14 ch 11,	abuseAbsolutely fantastic story -- You've nailed the format of the show, blending an intricate case file with a period of character evolution for Brennan (and Booth). Thanks!
beaglelvr93 2008-02-05 ch 1,	abuseWow! I just discovered this fic (a little late, I know) and all I can say is WOW! Beautifully written, and amazingly lengthy chapters. I love how you have BB down so great. Scurries off to read more Beagle
dasku 2008-01-15 ch 11,	abuseThis is probably one of the best casefiles I've read in any fandom. Giggles is a fantastic bad guy, and your style is wonderfully descriptive and compelling. I could have done with a longer epilogue, but I think it's because compared to the rest of the chapters is so much shorter. Anyway, you've done an amazing job, and I do hope you write something else in this fandom. It's been one hell of a ride :)
BonesDBchippie 2007-12-13 ch 11,	abuseB R A V O! THIS was just about the BEST case centered, detailed, B & B centric fic I've EVER had the pleasure of reading!! It was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! There were times througout that I felt that B&B were a bit too harsh on one another or were a little bit bitter about things that shouldn't of been so much an issue--BUT you've done an TERRIFIC job with all the characterizations and can I just say WOW!--the whole David being a pupet and already dead REALLY blew me out of the water!! AND to know that there's a sequel and that Giggles is still out there?! Well, I just got another case of the heebeejeebees!! I must say that I truly LOV'D the way you ended it! SO PERFECT the way you brought them back together!! I also LOV'D the conflict that Brennan had with the visuals and human side of it all and really not knowing how to deal with it! And the fact that Booth was willing to transfer to make her happy-- HOW could she NOT see his intentions, but I thought you did an excellent job of showing that Booth isn't always right--he's human too and not perfect! Take a bow! YOU'VE done a marvelous job with this and you have a beautiful outlook on how you think your grandfather would be reading over your shoulder--I think he'd certainly be proud of THIS story!! ALL 131 pages of it! WOW! I L@@K forward to the sequel!! MERRY~~HAPPY~~HOHO!! ~G :D
BonesDBchippie 2007-12-13 ch 8,	abuseTHIS is a running review!--AS in running quickly to the review box and saying W O W!! THE case you're presenting is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! It was all I could do to screech to a HAULT and leave a few words of PRAISE!! MARVELOUS! I tell you just REALLY wonderful with the way you've built this up and played it out! I'm STILL baffled! The B&B'ness is AWESOME!! It seems a little harsh at times BUT it's so THEM!! LOV'N it ALL!! Gotta run and see what predicament Brennan has gotten herself into now! ~G :D
