Hey everyone! I got a ton of amazing feedback from many wonderful people, and I'm in the process of editing the book to help smooth it out and help establish things a little better. Here are the list of edits for earlier chapters:
-Chapter 1, TV showing the giant rats, the state of human-supernatural affairs; Doña asks Jacinta to take food and everything she can
-Chapter 2, Jacinta doesn’t steal Doña’s stuff lol (at least, not unwarranted anymore); instead, she takes it on Doña's request (in Ch. 1)
-Chapter 4, added Jacinta needing to take pills for as-of-yet unspecified medical issues
-Chapter 5, explained healing potions a little more; gave further context to supernatural-human relations; cut the SEE explanations into chapter 6.
-Chapter 6* (NEW! Sort of. Parts of chapter 5 and 7 blended into here; all other chapters will be pushed one past the number they were before. Includes more detail on Jacinta being unregistered/illegal, gives a little background on the country/world, Pandora's Box, how she and Gregory met)
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
-Chapter 7, (which was chapter 6) removed call from Olivia, moved it here; clarified Jacinta's only one working lunch shift; added minor detail on covens (being found families/networks for people who lacked them otherwise)
-Chapters 8-10, dialogue tags, punctuation; no major edits
-Chapter 11, edited Joe saying double pay to hazard pay, made him a little more caring for Jacinta
-Chapters 12-13, minor edits
[For now I'll stop with the edits up until Ch. 13; I'll be revising the book as it goes along, so if you see anything that's off, please let me know! I appreciate any critiques or anything you have to say :D]

Also, I have a very important poll I'd like for you to answer (if you like!) It'll help gauge interest in certain alternate dimensions/worlds. Some have already been written and semi-planned out; others are potential worlds/ideas to be used in different ways. I have plotlines and purposes for any/all of these, but they're just listed generally and simply.
This poll won't close, so new readers that join way after the book continues can still add their thoughts!
And also, feel free to answer as you like. If you want to pick only your favorite options, go for it--if you like them all and don't have much of a preference, answer that way! It's up to you.
If you have an idea, feel free to comment it too! I'm all ears and love interaction. Thanks!
*Apparently a few options got deleted on the first draft--hopefully they all are here! Feel free to vote for the story too if you'd like :)
