Kindle Notes & Highlights
I don’t bother to finish breakfast, or even pick up my bowl. I use my abilities to dump the contents into the trash and toss the bowl into the sink.
Seems like he’s getting a bit lazy
What’s up with this word
“No. You can keep it.”
Why would he let her keep his moms flash drive??
Curse
I can feel the knot in her chest
How can you feel a knot in someone else’s chest?
Again, a sigh pours from my belly.
I don’t like this writing style
I glare into his tinted frames with a fearsome snarl, but do as he says.
His expressions are too dramatic
widened jaw.
How can you widen your jaw?
“Do you trust me!”
Typo
Tears finally tumble down her cheeks with each of her vigorous wails.
This language is too much
“Do you trust me!”
Typo
Stupid little insect. It has no idea how much its life is in my hands right now.
Mmm I don’t like this
I inch away from the window and turn to glare toward the back end of the convenience store. There’s a thin wooden door that is marked with a rusted sign.
Why is this man always glaring and snarling and growling and gnarling
The expressions aren’t congruous with his actions
How comical my confused, yet relieved, scowl must look.
You scowl when you’re confused or relieved?
pursuing Mom and me.
Typo
can sense them perking up with scowls,
Who “perks up with scowls”
“The man who we first released from the chamber—that bright son-of-a-gun—he reads a few books, and is the first to realize that the marks are star patterns. The one on his arm is the constellation Auriga. So that’s what he names himself. He convinces us to do the same.”
It’s weird that he’s narrating a flashback but flopping from present tense to past tense
“Why are you looking at me like that!”
Typo
snarl, and feel my body acting on its own. My brow hardens, and my arm raises toward Leo. I send him rushing backward with a burst of kinetic force.
He really has anger issues
but I still feel like making Leo’s body dangle from the ceiling.
This guys a psychopath
Pavo shifts his grimaces between us, like a mall security guard.
Security guards don’t grimace??? Dude get your expressions right and expand your vocabulary
As for Leo…everything about him just rubs me the wrong way.
He has no real reason to distrust him
My smile shifts to a concerned gnarl,
What does this mean??,,
“Neither did I.” I give a sarcastic laugh while approaching her.
How is that sarcastic
The word seems to squirt from my lips as if Ara had said something to provoke it.
Who says things like that???
An astonished grimace covers my face.
Who grimaces when they’re astonished????
The thought of an Aural out there somewhere, with the ability to jump into anyone’s body and control them, is unsettling. Especially someone bold enough to leave the only family they’d ever known.
Did you just completely forget the part when she said that she doesn’t like using her powers??
I can’t help but want to thank him. Without his sacrifice, Leo, Pavo, and Ara wouldn’t have been able to rescue me, because they wouldn’t have been saved themselves.
A bit self centered?
scowl as we walk side by side, back to the farmhouse.
If I had a penny for every time this author uses the word scowl or any other negative expression for no reason or at all, I’d be living in a mansion rn
return the gesture, trying my best to conceal that I don’t agree.
So you also would be reckless and draw the bad guys out without a regard for civilians and risk the identities of the other clairvoyants? I don’t like you dude
“Hold this.” He bombards me with his cup, just as I am tilting mine to my lips.
My dude is giving him his cup to hold, and the author’s word choice is “bombard”
Reader Clairvoyants can do the opposite.” My head snaps toward him as I come to a realization. He’s read my mind. He
I… thought this was already established
I snarl.
I want to punch you
“Got it!”
Typo
My eyebrow curls with worrisome intrigue. I fixate my bulbous pupils on Leo’s crisp lenses.
What is this languageeee
Can’t you see if she’s okay.
Typo
But the thought that she has been taken…that she could be in any pain because of me…it
But we just established that they were after her not you
I am not like Pavo, Leo, and Ara. I can’t just wait idly by for the worst to happen. The slightest possibility that she isn’t safe is enough for me to act. And there’s nothing they can say to sway me.
This is so dumb. You have no information or advanced skills and your going to leave the only allies you have?
And then…
I think it makes no sense that these people would want to be killers after they went rogue to stop the organization
pause to examine each of their calculating grimaces.
“Calculating grimace” makes no sense
“If I can draw her out somehow, we can find the Charon. Just…just give me a chance to prove myself.”
Um… why?
“Okay, kid,” Perseus says. “You want to be a Predator? Then you gotta go through initiation.” “Whatever it is, I’ll do it.” I sound like a child trying to impress the big kids on the playground. What am I saying? These people just robbed a bank.
Yeah wtf is this now?
My index finger begins to dance around the trigger. I have to do it. Don’t think. Just do it.
Why do you HAVE to kill him????
“Yeah, well, he had it comin’.” I scoff, trying to replace my confusion with bravado.
This is so gross
Our gazes meet just before the door closes. His arms are crossed, and there’s a dubious smirk across his face.
I’m so confused. Did he kill the guy or not?
“Like, light as a feather, stiff as a board.” I reminisce on the joyous days of playing Ouija with Mom, as a child.
Wtf
She looks incredibly attractive. I’d been so intimidated by her that I’d never really noticed that she is gorgeous when she doesn’t look so murderous.
Why does this matter
It reminds me of high school classes and learning the Pythagorean theorem and other overt, impractical nonsense I felt like I’d never apply in my adult life. I need to do things my own way. The stupid box will get moved. But right now, I want to expand my horizons. I want to see if I can fly.
I don’t like this protagonist
