We have been teased with mentions of a intelligent and powerful martial artist monkey who talks in riddles, But he has yet to make an appearance and I for one hope he will be introduced early on in the next book.
Talking about an awesome monkey character but not introducing him just seems wrong.

Isn't she only supposed to grant Tom's wishes? or am i confusing something up?

Ok, well speaking of long lost characters
are we ever going to find out who Tom/Orcus's lady friend is?
If it's Jen I'm just going to die laughing

Since when did Tom have a car, tizzy? and yea Tag i just don't really see tom focusing on any sort of romance at the moment unless it's as obvious as playing Hide and Seek with Giants, and he is seeking.it appears to be kind of a side effect of him as being a demon seems to be a Barge-load of responsibility and a decidedly major lack of sexual urges for the most part, I mean he's only 17 from a high tech world, and is most definitely not an incubus :P

Tom needs an aggressive suitor that is wooing him. Bold and audacious.

Agreed, he's got enough on his plate that he won't be making a move.

What he needs is a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend soft of person.

OR---what about one of Orcus's ex's?

I'm sure romance will happen eventually, at least as long as it will need to feel rational( Love? Hah!) and not some sort of rushed plot device. just give it time, nobody, not even the most crazily celibate(ignoring thing i will not even consider to be bodies)- and lets be honest that Tom's not close to that, merely has far too much to think about- will go without either romance, 'love' or at the very least a bed partner for too long.

Otherwise, i've heard there are shapeshifting non-demon dragonnesses who if impressed would probably find Tom a Challenge, but i need not warn of such nigh insane dalliances, not to mention those Dragon Gods you can find on some specific Material Plane Clusters.

But yes i agree Tom is most definitely not the Chaser.

In book II, when Vaselle shows up, I was very seriously tempted to have a second character, a Sister of Tiernon or maybe a priestess get totally by Tom and decide to convert and become a groupie and then try to start a religion, which of course would really have complicated things for Tom, who wouldn't have wanted one, and for Orcus who never wanted one.

My thought was literally "religious groupie"

However, I decided that it was too much overlap with Vaselle at the time. As it is, he is not getting as much page time as I want.

Backing up: The car being waxed is Singkun's, what you don't remember the time(s) when Singkun transformed himself into Mr Myagi? He had to keep his tail in his pants, but....

I almost wrote earlier about Hilda. However, she's already spoken for with Trisfelt! Will Tom have to battle Trisfelt for her hand?

Here is a bit of a left field thought.....for a romantic partner for Tom

What about Inethya, the Prophetess of Nysegard..

Reasoning....
1. They have fought together against a "Great Evil" - people that fight together in a desperate battle tend to forge strong bonds of friendship / companionship
2. Inethya knows (or sort of knows) what Tom is already - so no need for the secret identity / reveal
3. She has her own power, so there is not going to be the whole inequality of power thing
4. Being a Prophetess of Nysegard, they don't have the same negative view of Orcus / D'Orcs as people from Astlan
5. She is going to want to find out about the comment that Tom made about being Tiernon's step-brother
6. She is going to want to find out the truth behind the withdrawal of Tiernon's people from Nysegard
7. She is used to working with beings / people from all different races - so no big surprises from all the people hanging around Tom
8. She seems to be a bold warrior - can see her doing the chasing
9. They have been intimate in a metaphysical sense - when Tom invaded her link to Tiernon - she is going to want to find out more about that, as well
