Gerald, Are you sure? The "teaser" at the end could be dropped from the book and the book would still be a book. The teaser, if I understand what Lisais saying, is isn't an integral part of Rles of Prey but is an ad for another book--or am I wrong. Is it an actual part of Rules of Prey that leads into the next book, i.e., to be continued? Will it be part of the next novel? Gerald is usally right, I admit. Maybe I misunderstood Lisa's description.
