Shadow Master (The Nightwatch Academy #4)

by Debbie Cassidy

“Free,” the creature whined.

Awh, It was so cute

“Magari dust. We use it. We be unharmed. We help. We be free. We just want be free.” His eyes welled.

Why did I picture Dobby from Harry Potter?

“I promise I’ll get Brady back. I promise you I’ll make them pay for what they did to you. Goodbye, babe.”

Her use of babe kinda bothered me

He must have cottoned on because his shoulders relaxed. “I was explaining to Miss Justice that as Shadow Master, she needed to be focused right now. Sexual liaisons need to take a back seat.” He bit the words out.

Ugh.

Orion’s brows went up. “Ah, and your petition?” “Was a mistake.” His voice was flat. “I retract it.”

Eye roll.

Lloyd looked down at the ground. “You have us, Justice. You have us all, and we care about you. This”—he waved a finger between him and me—“this is a relationship.

NO IT WAS NOT. Not enough, not enough.

Do you want me to bite him? Athos asked.

I loved Athos

He glanced at me. “She may not be in love with me yet, but she like-likes me, you know? I’d really like the chance to take that somewhere because …” He took a deep breath. “I’m fucking head-over-heels in love with her.”

“Like-likes me” lol

“I would have loved you, Kash.” He gripped me tighter. “I fucking know.” And then a blinding light ripped the air in front of us, and furry paws reached for me. I caught the flash of gray eyes and the curl of a too-wide smile, and then the world shattered.

Did not see Larkin coming back

The troop ambled in next, taking their usual spots, and breakfast was truly underway.

Assuming Lloyd, Devon and Aidan.
