Kindle Notes & Highlights
In memory of my Satisfyer Pro2 Rechargable Clitoral Stimulator. I should have recognized the signs of burn out. I should have stopped when you made that weird, terrifying zapping sound.

my Bristlebrook men.
Survival tip #66 If you’re trapped between two predators, don’t worry about taking sides. You’re probably dead anyway.
I wish Beau were here. He might not be magic, but he’s the closest thing I’ve found.
In the new darkness, I see Beau’s lingering smile after he kissed me. Dom’s slow, shocked pride when I delivered the weapons. Jasper’s dark beauty as I curled up at his feet. Jaykob’s smirk as he fucked me. Lucky’s laughter as we fled Dom’s room with a bazooka.
My brutes are dead. The rest of the world can burn.

My brutes are dead. As a budding pain connoisseur, I have to appreciate the notes of that particular vintage. This agony is full-bodied. Rich. Its sharpness sits on the back of my palate, and bitter tannins make my tongue cramp.

“Eden, huh? You are in the wrong garden, my girl.”

Survival tip #89 Don’t follow the herd. Herds are born to be slaughtered.
This white-hot loathing isn’t a feeling. It’s a state of being. These men killed mine—and so they have to die. It’s the new law of my universe.
Survival tip #144 Fear the fury of a woman who has nothing left to lose.
Survival tip #20 You have to be the worst version of yourself to survive. Kill the weak. Strike from the shadows. Run from a fight. Leave your friends behind.
