    |  | Sometimes I just don't get why some reviewers are so picky about every little mistake, while others look past errors of language and form and who knows what else. Mainly, I thought the idea was creative, but the implementation was not up to such high ratings.  The long text, unbroken by chapters or sections, made this a chore to read.
 I kept at it because the story did have some mystery that hooked me, but I probably skimmed over the last third because it became somewhat predictable.  What ruined it for me was the ending with the busted teeth and life in absolute ruin.  I probably should have avoided it due to the "heavy" code, but my rating is mostly for the form, not the content. (7/10)

    |  | Well done story with a very interesting plot.  Very nice character development.  Great scenes with Ellie struggling with her instructions, but unable to resist. (10/10)

    |  | I much enjoyed reading this story. It is well constructed and the animosity felt by the elder sister towards her younger sibling really comes through. The ending paragraphs give the tale a well rounded finish with ellie confined to a brothel. (9/10)

    |  | Excellent!  I simply loved the way our heroine is tricked and turned into a complete whore at the hands of her sister.  The interesting array of mistresses makes this one particularly intertesting and diabolical.  This is a very well crafted story with echoes of that "strange- silent-town scenario running in a ghost-like vision of slavery with a very un-sisterly-like passion exploding into the dark depths of a depraved mind.  Nicely done! (10/10)
