Kindle Notes & Highlights
But I apparently had another secret admirer to worry about. A phantom pain throbbed in my lower spine.
Oh bestie girl what are we doing
“I can’t taste anything,” Silas commented, looking out over the park as he took another drag of his cigarette. “I could eat it, but it would be the equivalent of uncooked rice powder.”
“Are my books the same color?” I held up two books. “Yes.” One book was magenta, and the other was orange. “Are you color-blind?” I asked him amusingly.
Fascinating I am gobbling up this lore
“We have Nests, Dens, and sometimes we just keep to ourselves. Personal preference.”
Of course she’s going lol
I’d suspected for a while that one of these back-alley holes would be a Den.
So did she know about this previously? How did she know where it was? Suspending my disbelief but still
Three men crowded around her, circling her like dogs.
Yuck
A scream was cut off abruptly before a thud was heard. Then, the sounds of ripping began.
Oh LORDT
If this was what the corrupted did, a mental picture of what Silas’s Nest would do when they found me entered my mind. What if they realized I was here? What if they all found out who I was?
“Let me know when you’ve had enough,” I said cautiously. “It will never be enough.” Her words were barely above a whisper. “Nothing I do will be enough.”
If he were something to be consumed, I feared I would not savor him and would selfishly eat him first—no time for saving the best bite for last. Only the need to have him remained.
Truly kissed me.
I wanted her to crawl under my skin and make a home out of my rib cage, for my heart would only beat for her.
I love codependence
“Alina,” I whispered, “tell me what you want.”
I would wait for her to finish, let her use me for whatever she wanted. I would give her anything, body, mind, and soul—if I had one. It was all hers to take.
YEAHHH. delicious
I never thought I could reach the point of craving someone aside from a simple hunger.
I was wholeheartedly, pathologically addicted to her.
“I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”
“Is it because of him?” There was a tinge of venom in his tone.
Don’t like this uh oh
“Why must you be so feral?”
🤨
“The Fixer is here,” I started. “Yes! I heard he was in town. I know things too, see?” She rolled her eyes. “He’s here about a poisoner. That’s why Father called us home. I hope he makes an example out of him.”
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHAT. that’s an INSANE drop but we really haven’t had a scene with just Silas and Phoebe alone from his POV. Just their strange relationship and her not liking him
“Maybe she would have told you if you had told her the truth!” “She would hate me.”
“Most would beg for that position, kill for it, even, as long as you fall in line.”
The facade has dropped. Weirdo
They looked different from Silas’s. Both sets were fairly long and thick, like some nightmare come to life.
A hood was over my head, but I could not feel any other clothing on me.
Oh no no no gross
“I am not a dog, you devil.”
“Good…morning,” I struggled to breathe out. “Good girl.”
YUCK
She reached in and pulled out what looked like a gold collar.
They really do keep fucking pets jfc the Dyvoks would LOVE these motherfuckers
“Mr. Aston kept you close all these years because he knew that you were a Host.
“That’s because even though we have to be born and grow, we just happen to stop at year twenty-five.” He laughed. “She’s just his recent child.”
In his hand was a thin braided riding crop.
Oh no
He fucking sucks bro
SHIT
“Let me in,”
Not the fucking parallel
Every part of my body felt disgusting and vibrated with thrill simultaneously. It was Issac all over again. I could not bear it. It was my fault.
This is so accurate and as awful as it is, it’s that weird blurring and justification and weaponization of something that should only be pleasure
The words sounded painful in Silas’s throat, like he was holding back the rage of something so formidable that it could be biblical in scale.
GOD this is horrendous omg
“She does not enjoy the company of men,”
🤨🏳️🌈
What is bro COOKING like,,,, this isn’t making it any easier
Nothing was mine anymore. Not my body, not my words.
“I will kill myself if that is the only way to get away from you and this awful place.” “You wouldn’t.” “I would do whatever it takes.” I pulled away from him. “You know that.”
That is where my mistakes started when it comes to you, Creature.” The pain in his eyes was like nothing I had ever seen.
YIKES ALINA
“It was interesting to find that you poisoned your father and his assistant. Were you jealous he finally had a son?”
I suspected she killed him by mistake but oml
