I'm 19. I have you beat. I rather like Kaylee. I don't even really know why. I just do. Alvin, too. I remember reading a story called Cryptids about siblings (one male, one female and I believe they were twins) who went hunting for things like Bigfoot, and their parents had died doing the same thing. Good book. Thought some of the very basic similarities between Cryptids and your story were somewhat amusing. You have a more creative approach, though.
I'm rather long-winded sometimes. If its bothering you, please say so.
Author's response
I have actually never heard of this Cryptids book. I took the premise from the Montrumologist series and the Book Character thing from a novel called the Bookman.
And things just happen because of who they are and who they know.
