I. Love. This.

Solid story! I like how you wind the two stories together. It's really interesting. And Riley is a great character! Keep going :)

I've gone back and reread what you've posted so far and I still like this story. I think it has terrific potential and you left it at a cliffhanger. That just makes your readers anxious for more. I am curious that you disabled you PM though...

Please keep up the fantastic work. Good luck.

I am always happy to discover stories like this. Keep up the good work :)

amazing story! i love how Riley is a normal girl in the middle of it, with no fighting skills but she learns and practices and doesn't have some power that makes her different. i also like how you have everyone have the thoughts that men were superior because in the 19th century that was common, women were expected to be mothers and wives so them thinking it's not normal for Mina to be a chemist or Riley wearing men's clothes is historically accurate

I am glad to see another update. I think you handled the events in Venice fairly well. I certainly look forward to the next chapter and hope to see it soon. Good luck.

Hey, I'm pretty sure I reviewed too... Derp

Wow, that mother is one piece of work. It seems like Riley has some form of autism yet the mother is quite unsympathetic about her daughters condition. Since there isn't a whole lot of character development with the mother, all I really feel is dislike for her. I'm not sure if that's what you wanted or not, but that's how I'm reading it.
I like Riley, but at this point I'm interested in seeing how she develops more as a character in future chapters.
Please don't think I'm being harsh, I'm trying to give you a truthful critique. I know that's what I want in my stories so I hope you don't mind :)

This is a very entertaining story. I hope to see more soon. Good luck.

I love your story it is so freaking awesome please continue I want to know what's going to happen with Riley and also want to know the real reason skinner protects her and teaches her how to fight!

I don't believe it, I helped you add something to a story. It's a bit of character background but still I didn't see that coming.
I have to say that I enjoy how you have Quatermain's comments piss Riley off, fits with change in times.

AWESOME! Please write more. One peice of advice for keeping happy readers, try not to end a chapter on a cliff hanger and then not fill them in for a long period of time. But either way, it is indubitably brilliant.

A wonderful chapter. I certainly enjoyed every minute of it. Riley keeps weaving herself in and out of the movie plotline and it is certainly entertaining to read. I liked her little joke by stealing Skinner's coat and hat. She was having fun. And you did a good job with her inquiring about Mina's chemistry equipment. Even if Dorian interrupted... Finally, the accusations against our invisible thief were handled very well. I just want to give the poor girl a hug. Keep up the great work.

Love the interactions between Riley and Skinner, really well written!
Can't wait for the next chapter!

A lovely chapter. Now she might actually be able to keep herself from always being a victim. A man with experience at fighting will still be able to beat her, especially since he'll likely be stronger. But she might have a chance now. Especially if they underestimate her due to her being a girl. And so far Skinner showed her some good basics, but there are other tricks that would probably be helpful to her. Like a firm kick to the right area if her attacker is a male, eye gouges, a shot to the gut to wind an opponent, or even slamming her head into someone's nose if they grab her from behind. After all, she doesn't have to fight FAIR.

And she's starting to guess about her situation concerning what happened in her old life. That's good. I can't wait to see more soon. Good luck.
