Rebel Witch (The Crimson Moth, #2)

by Kristen Ciccarelli

“How dare you touch her.” Gideon knew better than to open his mouth. But he couldn’t help himself. “At least she likes it when I touch her.”

WHACK HIM HARDER!!!

“You want the truth?” Her own hurt bubbled up, like steam from a volcano ready to erupt. “This is the truth: I would have married you in a heartbeat, had you asked me. I would have married you knowing you would hand me over to my killers—or kill me yourself—the moment you found out what I was. That’s how pathetic I am, Gideon! That’s how desperately I wanted to be yours!”

TELL THAT MAN

“Because he loved me! Because he didn’t want me dead! It was the best offer I was ever going to get!”

Oh girl......

If this was weakness, he wanted to be weak. If this was sin, let him be damned to hell. Kissing Rune was like a realignment. There was before, when everything was off its axis. And there was after, when everything was steady and right.

That’s how I feel reading thing book

Of all the boys in the world, why did she have to fall in love with the one who could never, ever love her back?

I’ve never felt more seen

“You are far worse than a thorn in my side,” he said, his dark eyes gleaming at her. “You are a knife in my heart.”

“It might look like weakness on the surface. But in truth, it’s tougher than steel. Love can’t be controlled. Love can’t obey unjust laws. Love will always oppose tyrants.”

“Because I was stupid enough to fall in love with a witch hunter. Stupid enough to hope he might love me back. And if he did, I wasn’t going to let anything come between us again.”

“It’s been an honor, Captain,” she whispered against his lips. Gideon let out a soft cry, but he didn’t fail her. Pulling the trigger, he sent a bullet straight into her heart.

Sometimes our paths must diverge from those we love. But if love is the highest power, our paths will converge again—if not in this world, then the next.
