Excellent story. I was captivated from beginning to end. :D

Oh my gosh! I love this part!..

"Oh god, I have a headache."

"Is it a vision?"

"No, it's a brother."

Hehe. :D

......uh oh.....hehe :P

Haha! "I see a light over there." "Don't follow it!" Hehe, that was funny. :P

Okay. You went from the sublime (Shadowstalker- my absolute favorite hunt story), to the ridiculous. I tolerated the Heehounds guys in the series episode Ghostfacers, because they were really trying to hunt by themselves, and were not malicious, but I can't stand this idea that they would create monsters just to film our boys. Would they really be that malicious, to try and get other people killed just for money and ratings? Or alternately, so stupid that they wouldn't understand what 'outing' the hunters would do to them? I'm sorry, I can't buy it. And I certainly can't buy that John or some other hunter didn't take them out for it. Even Sam and Dean would have been harder on them than this. People died! And then there is the idea of the Sam tulpa. Come on! Dean would never have been that stupid. It strains all credulity, and it's just plain silly! I'm going to have to pretend the few important story moments happened 'off camera' as it were, and just tie the first story to the third. Sorry, nothing here rang true.
P.S. Better on the syntax, and fewer typos, good. But you still don't know the difference between 'then' and 'than', and you don't seem to know that 'vein'(a blood vessel) is not the word to use for 'taking something in vAin', or 'trying in vAin'. Since you do it all the time, no one ever taught you the other spelling, so it's not your fault. But your betas are falling down on their job! (Oh, be careful of using 'sight' for 'site', as well. )
Sorry again, I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I normally like your stuff so much I felt obligated.

Author's Response: it's a shame you didnt like this one, it's my favorite of the series :)

Gotta admit I didn't care much for this story until the river scene, then it got interesting. Kind of a let down after the first in the series, I guess.

I didn't even consider Sam thinking the Tulpa was a view into demon Sam.  Ingenius!

Stupendous!  No time---gotta keep reading!

Well, that backfired.  I wasn't expecting it to happen like it did.  Good job!  Keep me guessing!

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but YAY the Hell Hounds! 

A Tulpa Sam?!  I thought maybe they'd attach a Tulpa to the shadow demon and create a way to kill it, but this is much better!  That's why you're the writer and I'm the reviewer.

Pefect way for Tulpa Sam to make his appearance!

The shadow's parting words are creepy.  Excellent!

OMG!  Dean really stepped in it this time!  What a fantastic way for him to discover the shadow possessing Sam.  Excited for the next chapter!!

Ed and Harry really bring out the best quips in Sam and Dean.  I love it that you brought them back!

Thanks for the info on the supernatural beings.  I will definitely look them up.
