Shit, sometimes a bit of jealousy is OK, but this time it went too far, it was twisted and wrong.

Previously, I have enjoyed Toreth's jealousy, it showed that he did care for Warrick, that he mattered, that he was different from others to him, special.
This time however, jealousy left the "nice" territory to go straight into dangerously sick territory.

The sex encounter at the toilet was really hot, but damn, Toreth can be a really big asshole sometimes.

The shower scene was good, Warrick's conc

Another thrilling glimpse into the mind of a sociopath.

Toreth's jealousy and possessiveness over Warrick triggers a frightening chain reaction in him, possibly with a fatal outcome. For he is close, so close to tipping over the edge this time...and losing it. Losing everything.

Another short story that will keep you on edge constantly.

Jesus, Manna's good!

In this powerful Manna Francis jab, we get to spend a night out with Warrick at a corporate event in Toreth’s head. A very scary place to be sometimes.

Losing It is a slow, frightening, piece by piece spiral down into anger, fear, jealousy, tension, and insecurity. Toreth’s emotions had me dizzy and all kinds of twisted around. His emotions slashed back and forth through the night as he struggled for control—watching, comparing, and prowling. Once again, Manna Francis left me in awe! Toreth’s on

As much as I always say how much I love Jealous Toreth, this one actually made me a tad bit uncomfortable. I like, of course, that he cares (as much as Toreth’s actually capable of caring) for Warrick, but it felt borderline insane (<-yes, I know its Toreth we’re talking about).

The bathroom scene really unnerved me. And though I appreciate the conversation they had about it later, with Warrick questioning if Toreth was actually in control, I don’t know that I entirely believed him when he said h

*gulp* This one made me nervous!


Isn't it clear to us that he has already lost it??
poor Warrick,
"Not bad," he said, "but I already have a better one."
what can he do to reassure him?
I think rings should be considered?? Or maybe matching tattoos??

There's a fine line between jealousy and abuse. And that line is kinda blurred here. Possessiveness this strong is dangerous. Much as I enjoyed Toreth's torment, I didn't like him very much in this one. ...more

Toreth's inner monologue was fascinating in its realism. Down the slippery slope he went. ...more

Toreth’s head is a scary, scary place. And we get to see just how fine a line he walks in his possessiveness and obsession with Warrick. He balances the line; he’ll lose Warrick if he crosses it. How long and far can Toreth go without losing it? It’s what makes riveting reading.

Are all these little short amuse-bouches in the Administration world really worth 5 stars? Manna Francis has built such complex, engrossing characters that she could write them reading the phone book and still mesmerize.
