I had only two things on my mind: cheese and how to get home.
The theme of the entire book😆
“Who wouldn’t want to go off on a grand adventure with a bunch of hot heroes also chosen by the goddess?” Me, bitches. No, thank you. Biceps were nice, but so was not having my guts eaten by an orc.
Cinnamon being Cinnamon
Weeks of crying later, a dear friend came over to slap me out of my sad-girl routine to remind me that “he ain’t shit.”
We all deserve a friend like that
Love is for people with not enough wine in their hands!
“You can’t pull off this look, bro. You can barely pull off that tattered scarf falling off your face.”
I love how she verbally degrades him rather than caving to fear, and she doesn't even realize how brave this is.
A fucking demon attacked me last night, and the day had the audacity to shine as if nothing happened? Rude.
Ma swore, pointing her wooden spatula like a blade. “Chili! I mean, Cumin! I mean Cinnamon! Dammit, the middle child! Stop badgering the girl child!”
🤣🤣🤣
“Did the raccoons teach you table manners as well?” A smirk spread across his lips. “You do know the food stays inside your mouth? Waste is an awful thing.”
I forgot how snarky Fallon is. 🩵😆
Brie flipped the page of her romance novel from her spot on the love seat.
i personally love the combination of fantasy and contemporary elements
I am a strong, independent woman. I run my own segment of the renowned Hotpepper farm, and I pay my own bills. I was absolutely not turned on by that.
yes you were and you know it🤣🤣🤣
Fallon cupped my chin when I refused to look at him. “You certainly know how to feed a man’s ego, Rabbit.” His coal eyes took me in with a downright predatory expression as a crooked smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.“I don’t think I’ll be letting you go after we finish this quest.”
literally squealing with glee and kicking my feet with the way he claims her
A devilish grin sent shock waves straight to my core. “I mean, I’m going to take you as my wife when this is all over.”
internal screaming...my wife!!!
“Yes. And in those four days, I’ve met your parents—” “You threatened my parents.” “Semantics. We’ve saved each other multiple times, been naked together, and I saw you kill a giant lizard with zero hesitation.” He reached over to snag me around the waist and pulled me to him. “That last one sealed the deal for me, to be honest. I’ve always wanted a fierce mate.” “That’s it? The basis for demon marriage is killing an alligator?”
Maybe I wasn’t traveling with a straight villain. Perhaps he was just villain-adjacent. I could work with that.
“I’m sorry. While I didn’t take any slaves of my own, I thought nothing was wrong with the practice. I thought demons were just mindless animals, and that was wrong. If destroying Myva’s chalice will break the curse, then I’d like to help you while you are here.”
This is what taking accountability and unlearning biases looks like.
“You just leveled half a city!” “They hurt you,” he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“Hiding your voice from me will just make me want to force it out of you.” “That doesn’t sound very nice.” He chuckled. “I’m your villain today, remember? I don’t need to be nice.”
“EVERY HOPEFUL PURE THING IN THIS WORLD TURNS TO ASH IN YOUR HANDS. YOU ARE THE SICK BRINGER OF MY MALCONTENT! THIS IS AN INJUSTICE I HAVEN’T FELT SINCE YOUR COKE HEAD OF A FATHER STOLE MY STABLE LANDS!”
you tell him Usha!
“Yes, that’s how mating works. I doubt you’ll find a man stronger than him. So what’s the issue?” “What’s the issue?” I asked. “Well, for starters, he’s a dragon capable of burning down a city!”
like that's the most obvious thing to a human, but it's normal for a demon so it's going over Holly's head
My body came alive at the ferocity of his kiss. As if the world would bring about the end of days if he ever stopped touching me.
I could die from this. They’ll have to write “fucked into oblivion” on my tombstone. But glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die.
