Kindle Notes & Highlights
Her optimism gives me a headache,
“Use me,”
“However you want, wherever you want. Just use me. I’ll be your free-use fuck toy, totally at your service,”

she looks back at me and…smiles. Smiles. My stomach flips. I swear on everything holy that she is the most beautiful creature I’ve ever laid eyes on. And now I know I’m blushing because my ears feel warm.
“Damn it, Boo. I want that.” “A smile?” “Your smile. I’ve decided that’s my new mission in life, so buckle up.”
Diabolical. She’s utterly vicious. Fuck me. A smile curls my lips, and my heart begins to pound. She intended to make us hate her, but now that I know she’s possibly as cutthroat as I am, she’s never getting rid of me.
People are never more themselves than when they think no one is watching.
“What’s wrong, ima sangfluir?” My blood blossom. The damn man is giving me a nickname in his native tongue, one that holds too much meaning for a blood fae.

“Make us your weapons, darling, and no one will stand a chance against our quintet. Let us be yours.”
he wants to strangle whatever is haunting me. But some ghosts are all in our heads.
“How dare you hurt what’s mine?”
“Dead men tell no tales, which means I can tell you anything, and it will go straight into a grave.
How am I supposed to exist now? I’m going to destroy the entire godsdamned world for taking her away from me. I’m going to watch them all rip each other apart so their blood drowns out my tears. I’ll curse the gods and follow her into the Beyond to be with her if I have to.
