Kindle Notes & Highlights
For those who enjoy walking the line between the Shadows
What a beautiful, slumbering place, hidden away like a cancerous beast.
Never in my life have I craved to be alone, but now it’s an insatiable urge. I want to be alone, I need to be alone.
The terrors I crave to unleash upon Fernestia and all who helped them.
Oh, how I wish I remained ignorant.
She left you to die with your parents.
Pain changes you, Edgar, remember? She needs to be disposed of.
“Want me to entertain you, babe? I know your head’s probably all fucked right now with the nasty things your brother said.”
My eyes lift to the foggy mirror. The girl I see, no longer stained by blood, is one I don’t recognize.
He is an unholy god in the flesh.
“He was never worth your tears,”
There’s no helping him. Destiny has always been confused and melancholic, only ever able to focus on the ending of each story rather than the middle.
My new prison is a beautiful one, but all I can ponder is how lonely I’ll be here.
Leave the boy alone. Amser will retaliate if you hurt him.
“He has darkness inside his heart as well as his Shadow.”
“Don’t let the Shadows drag you into the dark. We’re all still here, aren’t we? We’ll be okay as long as we stick together.”
“Since when, sweetheart?”
“I don’t know when it happened, maybe when I saw you tied up in the basement and bleeding for me. But… I want to be close to you.”
“You are the sole source of my weariness. I can’t stop thinking about you.
The way you bite your lower lip and suck in breaths when I’m too near.
drives me absolutel...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
“Are you going to be a good girl this time?”
“Show me how much you want it, sweetheart. I don’t fuck
girls who bite my dick without a little bit of penance.”
“Show me how badly you want it,”
“What is it about you that drives me absolutely mad?”
“I told you the bad guys get the girl.”
“I tried once to be a hero. Do you want to know what it got me?”
“It got me a bunch of dead friends and more blood than I could ever wash from my hands. It’s easier to be the obedient villain. The sexy guy that gets to kill people,”
“You literally fucked me on your torture room floor in front of him,
so I don’t want to hear it,”
“Will you forget me when I’m dead?”
“You’ll be okay. Just keep your heart muted and I’m sure you’ll forget me before long.”
“Why was he in your room, Terra?”
“If we can’t get him tamed, then I promise you, I will.”
“Whenever I look at you pain spreads inside my chest. I hate it.”
I will never allow that to happen.
No one can hold the weight of that much death and guilt except me.
They read: “Consensual Violent Sex.”
Is that supposed to make this less awkward?!
This fucking Shadow is going to be the end of me.
“No wonder Elias is so possessive of you. Your Shadow has quite the appetite,” he whispers in a deep, tempting voice.
“Elias might know how to please you, but I doubt those boys do. Tell me, are you satisfied?”
Hope is something I think we could all use a bit of right now.
Fear keeps people away, furthering the loneliness I’ve found myself in.
But I can see it clearly now—I don’t have the heart of a hero.
I was never meant to have a bright, beautiful god inside my bones.
Only the darkest, most greedy deity would call my soul to its own.
“He’s still my brother.”
“Listen, Edgar, and listen well. If you try to kill your sister again, I will gut you so slowly, so agonizingly, that you’ll beg me to take you apart joint by joint.”
