Kindle Notes & Highlights
Civellas don’t have friends. We have enemies and business partners.
I felt a sickening wave of arousal wash over me. There was something about the possessiveness in his tone that made every single one of my muscles curl up like a cat. I was preening and desperate. Why was I so determined to be claimed by this man? Did I have Stockholm syndrome?
"I think you could be Eve herself, Juliet."
Cute but why? He has known her through conversations overheard at the diner table. Why are all the brothers falling for her? The author hasn't made her stand out in anyway. Shes an average girl.

I'd need to find William and see if there was still any hope for us. After working up my courage, I went downstairs and decided that if I ran into Malice, I'd ask him about his promise. I still wore the necklace we'd battled for. The sentimental jewelry felt like a weight around my neck. A secret.
"You're killing people and working at a sex club. What happened to you? You've literally become all the things I hate about our world. William told me everything. He said you spent the night with Anthony last night, too. I thought we discussed this," she shouted.
First, I realized that Malice didn't actually care for me. Second, I realized that William didn't love me enough to fight for me. And third, I learned that I needed to leave before my heart was
Bruh...this is ridiculous. She is just now realizing this? I am starting to think the author did this on purpose
