Phantasma (Wicked Games, #1)

by Kaylie Smith

“The dark is for people who are too cowardly to face their actions in the light,”

Life is not measured in good or bad thoughts—it’s how you treat the world around you despite them.

All the people who only do good deeds because of what that might gain them in the afterlife are no better than those who indulge in a little sin every once in a while.”

I’d rather cease to exist than know you’ve looked at anyone else the way you look at me

I know I should have enough self-control to just stay the fuck away, but you are the only thing that’s ever made me feel even a semblance of hope in this eternity of Hell.

The thought of wasting another second when I will lose you forever in only three days has ruined me. You are the closest thing I will ever get to experiencing heaven, and I’m not ready to let it go.”

“In a different life, in a fair one, I would’ve kept you until my eternal soul withered away to dust,”

“In all the darkness, in all the loneliness, you have been my one source of light,”

“My soul will go to its grave with your name echoing in my mind.”
