Kindle Notes & Highlights
She’s very much partial to music from young men who don’t look like they’re capable of growing facial hair yet.
thats pretty funny ngl
I’ve got to figure out who Olivia is. And I’ve got to keep something terrible from happening to her.
WHAT
His eyes are like creamy, endless pools of milk chocolate. I could write bad poetry about this guy. In another month, I’ll be etching our initials in a heart scratched into the wood of my desk—that’s how bad it is.
Shes cooked
That’s Olivia Reynolds. She and I share the same first name,
Well which oliviais in danger godammit
he talks to an attractive woman in her forties that has the same dark hair and eyes that he has and also a similar nose. I think it’s his mother. He
“Hey, Olivia,” he says. “Hey,” I say.
I do not trust you sir
smile, trying to enjoy the compliment, but my mind is racing. Olivia Reynolds. That’s the girl Liam is interested in. And it’s not surprising, because she is absolutely beautiful. Of course Liam would like her. I’ve got to fix
WRONG GIRL
“Frank? It’s Erika Cass. I need to talk to you. There’s another… Please call me back. As soon as you can.”
Wfh do u mean another im scared
And he’s very good at getting what he wants. I won’t let him have what he wants this time.
He’s always shrugged everything off as “boys will be boys.”
He bound and gagged a girl in a closet at five years old i dont think thats noraml
Frank is quiet, hopefully scribbling down the information. “Olivia Reynolds. Spelled how it sounds?” “Yes.” “Got it.” “Same thing as last time. Okay?”
Arghhh wrong girrrrl
This guy is not crazy. No way. I don’t know what Madison was talking about. It’s clear Aidan and Tyler are jealous of Liam, because he does so well in school and all the girls think he’s cute.
Uhhuh
“Detective?” “Yes?” “Do you really think Liam did it?”
Did whaaaaaaaaaaat i cant with not knowing
“Does your girlfriend know you’re a psychopath?”
No bc shes in denial
“Yeah?” Liam lifts an eyebrow. “Well, if I am a psychopath, maybe you should be careful. Because I know pretty much everything there is to know about your family. I know where your mom goes to yoga class. I know your dad parks his car outside the garage at night. And I know what window is your sister’s bedroom.” Tyler’s eyes widen. “Also,” Liam adds, “you’ve got a new cat, don’t you?”
if there was any question abt his sanity its answered now omg EDIT: AFTER I FINISHED THE BOOK I NOTICED THIS HIGHLIGHT AND OMG HE MEANS THE CAT THAT HE PUT ON TYLERS BED THAT LIAM DISEMBOWLED ARGH
“I really think…” He frowns at me. “I think if you go out with him, your life could be in danger.” “Oh, come on! So you’re saying he’s a murderer?”
Yes yes i am saying that
“He said he couldn’t wait to get married, so he could stuff his wife deep in a hole and never let her out.”
and im putting him up for adoption
“The truth is that your father isn’t… He’s actually…” “What?” “He’s alive.” “What?”
“Then what happened, exactly? Where has he been for the last forty-two years?” Mom looks down at her wrinkled hands in her lap. “He’s been in prison. For first-degree murder.”
Was he a phsyco did liam inherit the phsyco gene
I think I’m in a hole.
omg
I’d just like to see what would happen to her, Mommy. If I put her in a hole and didn’t feed her, what would happen? And if she were my wife, I could do what I wanted and no one would even look for her.
the way id be calling for adoption so fast
reading that book Holes when I was in ninth grade. It was about some kid who had to dig holes as part of a punishment. It was pretty good, as I remember. I think they made it into a movie.
It was not good
My chest tightens as I realize what I’m touching. It’s a skull.
Now both terms are used but ‘sociopath’ generally refers to a milder form of the disorder. Psychopaths are much rarer.”
sociopaths don’t have normal human emotions like empathy. They have no concern for the feelings of others. They also have a very high threshold for disgust, which has been measured by a lack of reaction in these patients to photos of mutilated faces. But sociopaths don’t care about faking emotions. Psychopaths, on the other hand, are excellent actors. They’re intelligent, charming, and fantastic at manipulating emotions. They can make you believe they care, when in fact, they feel nothing.”
you’ve got an individual who feels no empathy, no remorse, no fear, and is prone to violence. It’s not surprising so many serial killers are diagnosed as psychopaths.”
“So are you saying Liam Cass is a psychopath?” “It’s hard to say. He was only nine years old the last time I saw him, and most of these personality disorders technically can’t be diagnosed until eighteen. But…” “Yes…?” “He was definitely a sociopath, but my gut feeling was that he was also a psychopath.
“Because you were scared.” “Yes.” “Of a nine-year-old boy.” “If you knew what was going on inside that kid’s head, you would be scared too.”
Sociopath. He doesn’t feel empathy like you do. He doesn’t feel love. He’s just faking it.
He had a wonderful childhood. How could he turn out this way? “There’s often a genetic component,” she had said. But that didn’t explain it any better. Jason and I were about as boring and normal as you could get. It didn’t make any sense. How could a nice, normal couple like us produce a child like Liam? I never got it. Not until this morning. When I found out my father had been in jail for murder for over forty years.
Called it
Damn it, where’s my Xanax?
Physco child stole it hes gonna murder someone or OMG NO HES GOING TO GIVE IT TO OLIVIA
grab the bottle, wrench it open, and pop one in my mouth. I swallow it dry.
Nvm ig
He showed me the trap, the mouse’s tail captured by the metal bar, as the tiny animal squealed in distress. He laughed when I cowered behind my mother’s legs. It’s one of my first memories.
Cheerful first memory
“Liam Cass, you are under arrest for the kidnapping and murder of Olivia Mercer.”
Well shes still alive
wish I had a wife, so I could put her deep in a hole. Unfortunately, Hannah is the one who has no idea what she’s talking about. I know my son. And I know this won’t end well.
When she was about four months old, we took her to the park and a big dog rushed to the stroller, barking loudly enough to make Hannah burst into tears. Liam jumped in front of the dog, bravely holding up his hand. “Doggy, no!” he cried. “No hurt my sister! No!”
Aw thats so sweet
But the real truth is, whether or not the truth comes out, I believe Liam will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Liam in jail. My little boy in jail. Surrounded by murderers and thieves.
He is a murderer and a physcopath
But I know one thing: if he is a sociopath, he’s the best actor in the history of the world.
What if I was smelling the perfume of a dead woman?
stoppppp
My hands won’t stop shaking as I pick up my phone from the kitchen counter. I type Troy, NY into the map app. Then I calculate the time it would take for someone to get from Albany to Troy by car. Sixteen minutes. My eyes raise upward to the ceiling. I hear the shower running, and even over the droplets of water, I can hear Liam singing to himself. It couldn’t be. He wouldn’t. He’s not like that. He’s not like Jason. Not really. It’s a coincidence. It’s got to be a coincidence. I lean against the counter, my knees weak. I can still hear Liam singing in the bathroom above us, as the stench of

Srsly it ends like that!?!?!?!
