Blake Harper, Josh’s estranged brother, tags along at the last minute, and Mackenzie Keaton quickly catches the eye of the mysterious, older brother.

Although it wasn’t a major character it was still my biggest challenge to have her back interacting with the others and reacting to different situations. I think in the end I wrote the character back into about seven chapters.
One big change was resurrecting someone that had originally been killed off very early on. They tend to be who they are and if I’m to force a change it’s much more difficult for me to continue writing them. There wasn’t too much to change in terms of the characters, perhaps a little strengthening, but I find it very hard to change my characters.
