Kindle Notes & Highlights
For some reason, the moon reminded me of Shade, of his eyes that were almost the same color, of the way he looked at me, like he couldn’t make up his mind about me yet.
I want a Shade POV so bad lol
“Oh, boy. You’ve got a mouth on you. You’ve got balls, I’ll give you that. Much bigger ones than most,” said David cheerfully, like he was paying me a damn compliment. “I swear, nobody’s entertained me more in weeks.”
Fuck this guy, playing games like a prick
I looked at Jasper again, shaking my head because no way in hell was this real. Just no way. But he smiled. “Run, mouse, run,” he sang.
Shit WTF
Instead, I found a man standing not three feet away from me, looking down at me with his hands behind his back, his brows raised, his smoky eyes curious. Shade.
SHADOW DADDY TO THE RESCUE
We heard the voices—the Elysean students, including that guy Jasper who’d somehow unleashed those animals on me.
Is Shade gonna fuck them up?
Shade turned to look at me, brows narrowed now, a pissed off look in his eyes that seemed completely black with the storm brewing in them.
Morally grey indeed… he did stop the animals though
A V-neck with thick straps tied in elegant knots, the back lower than normal, the dress slightly flared up as it went down to the ankles, with a slit that probably reached my thigh.
Shade gonna be SWEATING I hope
I knew exactly what they wanted to say when they brought me this dress. And I knew exactly what I wanted to say back when I wore it tonight.
Gotta love the commitment to the "Middle fingers up" plan
“What happened to make friends, not enemies, Sera?!” she hissed, keeping the fake smile and speaking without moving her lips at all.
Angel has grown on me for sure
Shade was wearing a tuxedo. An actual tuxedo, with a crisp white shirt and a black jacket, and his hair was sleeked back, his face clean shaven, his eyes as bright as the moon like I’d seen it from the tower last night.
He's Wearing black too technically!!
Damn it, why was he so beautiful? And what was wrong with me?! Probably just my stupid hormones. He’d saved me last night, technically speaking.
No resisting a shadow daddy
He still watched me, sipping his drink slowly, those stormy eyes dark, those beautiful lips slightly stained red with the wine.
Drooling
“He’s House Opal, of Hades’s Bloodline,” she continued, making ice-cold chills rush down my back again. “The others are still saying to stay away from him, but they won’t tell anyone why.”
Swoon
“Your bitterness hasn’t diminished your beauty, Snowflake. I almost wish it had,” he said,
Knees shaking
“Your dress makes my shadows envious, Snowflake. And if you were to think clearly, you wouldn’t take that as a compliment.”
Pft pft pft DEVOUR US
“Stay out of my way, Snowflake. I am not your friend,” he said, shocking me all over again.
Hot then cold. How long until he caves??
wine so strong that it would wipe the mind of any mortal who drank it for hours. One could do with them as they pleased.”
Oh shit those shitty student guys tried to wine roofie her!!!!
“The stain on your dress was from the Elixir,” Eeda repeated, patting my knee before she stood up. “And you seem fine, don’t you?”
SHADE SAVED HER AGAIN
The way he pressed his body against mine and I felt all his hard muscles showed me exactly what he intended to do with me.
AKA HIS DICK. GET THE FUCK AWAY LORENZO
Shade was at the beginning of the hallway, hand raised while his shadows dragged an unconscious Lorenzo toward the corner.
SHADOW DADDY TO THE RESCUE ONCE AGAIN
“I don’t give a damn about the other girls—if you don’t disappear from my sight right now, I won’t be able to stop myself. Do you understand me?”
Shade only has eyes for you babe. Kiss already XD
He growled. An actual, honest-to-God growl that had my toes curling in my shoes even before he pressed himself against me. I felt him. I felt all of him.
Delicious
“You should run from me,” Shade said. “You should hide from me. You shouldn’t talk to me.”
"I am not safe/good for you" trope has entered the chat and I love it
His eyes closed. His body slammed against mine. He kissed me.
YES FINALLY
I moaned. Right in his mouth, I moaned. And he lost control. His tongue slipped inside my mouth like he was starved for the taste of me.
SCREAMING AND KNEES QUAKING
His body was hard against mine, his cock pressing against my stomach.
I bet it's huge
The way I’d kissed him had sent everything I thought I knew about myself right to the depths of Tartarus.
Oh how the turn tables
But I decided right then and there that it was never going to happen again.
Lol doubt it
“Are you out of your mind, Snowflake?” Shade said, looking down at the book until he finished speaking, so perfectly calm you’d think he was asking me how my day was.
Love an immediate confrontation post-make out
“Also, while we’re at it, don’t ever kiss me again,” I said, my voice suddenly dry.
Lies
“Don’t flatter yourself, Snowflake. It was just the spell,” he told me, and he could have fisted me in the damn gut. “You weren’t spelled, though. And I dare say you enjoyed it more than I did.”
HE'S GOT YOU THERE SERA
“Why? Why do you even care?”
Tell us Shade, WHY DO YOU CARE
“Haven’t you figured it out already? You’re a pretty face, Sedorah Sinclair,” he whispered as he analyzed my every feature. “Elyseans have a weakness for beautiful things.”
I bet my left kidney that isn't all of it
Because House Opal were descendants of Hades, Ares, and Aphrodite—and those who came from Hades’s Bloodline could control shadows. Shade. Is that why he called himself that—because of Hades? What was his real name?
OOHHH what is your real name shadow daddy???
“I don’t. I just hate men.” The kind who claimed to be gods specifically—like him.
Men suck
“Why?” he asked without missing a beat, and I could tell he’d been stopping himself from asking me probably since I’d sat down. Now that he’d started, he wasn’t going to stop. It almost made me smile—pretty face, my ass. He liked me. He just didn’t want to admit it.
He is def in denial that he likes you haha
Moving a bit closer to me, he whispered, “Where did you fall from, Snowflake?” He’d asked me that the very first time he saw me in the courtyard, too.
Heart racing
Right now, he looked so damn fascinated, so curious, I almost spilled all my guts out to him. Good thing I had the sense to stop myself and smile. “California.”
I can't wait until she spills it all to him and us
“Apparently, a Hedone descendant who works in the kitchen cast the spell and she refuses to say why. She made it so that whoever the Elyseans already had feelings for would be amplified to incredible proportions,”
OH SHIT. This means fucking Lorenzo already had feelings for her. And of course Shadow Daddy too
The prick had lied to my face—Elyseans have a weakness for beautiful things. Yeah, right. He definitely liked me—and
Obviously Sera, DUH
On it was a chocolate cupcake as big as my fist, with pink icing on top and colorful sprinkles shaped like small snowflakes all over. A purple candle was in the middle of it, and the words Happy Birthday were written on the plate with chocolate.
MY HEART.
“Love is not peaceful. Love is a thunderstorm that shall not leave a stone untouched in your mind and body when it is felt right. Love is alive.”
Poetry
Pay attention, know your surroundings—that’s what Shade said. And despite knowing who and what he was, I trusted him with all my heart.
Shadow daddy won't lead you astray
Hands around my arms—someone pulled me to my feet. Nick on one side, Emily on the other, holding my weight on their shoulders.
Genuine Shock that the others are helping her at all
“What an incredible two days,”
TWO DAYS?!
They gave the Slim Shady wannabe six—each house gave him two,” said James, probably talking about Ethan, and I loved him for it.
HA XD
He laughed. “Oh, I know. I got you a leather backpack, by the way. Like the one you liked at the mall, remember? You kept staring at it,” Miles said.
Miles you are a sweatheart
“Oh, please,” she said, waving me off. “As if that was the first time we snapped at each other. We’re friends, babe. Friends argue. Doesn’t mean I love you any less.”
The power of friendship has entered the chat lol
She was right—Ethan was nowhere to be seen. I wondered why.
Where is the fake slim shady?
“Good evening.” I half turned to find none other than Shade right to my side, looking too much like a damn god for my liking.
Shadow daddy to meet the friends and Miles
