Weeeeell...
Spoilers bellow !
So, don't read below unless you've read the book.
Well, I don't know if the book is canon, it seems non-canonical to me, but still very nice. Aurek survives in the book. Nobody dies.
My question is...
who is Jaques' father?! Is Jaques canonical? I've never heard about him in Jaquiline's bio.

The person she was looking for? Sorry it's been awhile since I've read the book.... xD

Jacques appeared on the Renier family tree from the Black Box. Jacqueline killed her human husband after she had his kids, which is common for women in the family.

Kids? Does she have more children?
Also, what was grandpa Claude's curse? I bet it was that he had to deal with the incompetent family of his. Most of them can't even read or write.

Sounds like a black widow.

Indeed, though it sounds like the people they just have a "fling" with don't end up well either unless your are lucky or still useful.

Well, as I said I don't know whether Jaquiline and Louise are quite like the characters presented in the book. Still, I have to say that Louise tells Aurek that if Jaquiline didn't approve of her relationship with Dmitri, she would have killed Dmitri early on.

Yes, but if Jacqueline liked Aurek just the slightest bit don't you think she would refrain from killing his brother? I mean blood's thicker than water right?

I think that if Jaquiline liked Aurek she would turn to wererat in front of him. Even smelling the old shirt of Henri Debois (her lover) she kept under her bed, made her start changing her form.
In the book it's pretty clear that Jaquiline doesn't care even a bit for Dmitri and Louise, which actually infuriates Louise.

Jacqueline's curse only makes her transform if she's genuinely in love with someone. If she just likes them, or has the hots for them, or feels genuine but non-romantic affection for them, it's not an issue.

That's what I meant. With the difference that I don't think Jaquiline can feel a genuine but non-romantic affection for someone. Even the romantic thing, is part of her curse.

She has 4 total, per the Black Box (
Legacy of the Blood uses the plural term children, but does not specify a number). Only Jacques was named (and he is the only one who appears in
Scholar of Decay, although by the timeline all the others had been born and Dominic Soufel was already dead when the book took place).

Renier family reunions must be a pill "So who dies this time?" "don't you mean who died this time?" "asked and answered"
