This was really fun! I think I read it before a couple of years ago, but I really enjoyed 'rediscovering' it! Thanks for suggesting it, Lois_Lane_Fan!!
I agree, Patrick made a really great (and creepy) bad guy in this. There were times when you could almost sorta kinda sympathize with him, in his twisted kind of way. I do like villains that have *some* redeeming qualities -- and he did prevent his father from killing Lois at the end!
Speaking of the end, it was great that Jennifer (who was so integral in helping Lois and Clark combat Patrick's spells through their love) turned out to be a druid priestess. I also liked how ML Thompson used the fertility ceremony story to make it possible for Lois and Clark to have children, despite Dr. Klein's pronouncement to the contrary.
Finally, this line really hit my funny bone.
"That's because you don't have to watch it every day," Jimmy said. "Lip lock in the conference room. Lip lock when the elevator doors open. Lip lock when they realize there's no paper in the copy machine."
I really loved it because it's so true! (and yet so wonderful)
