Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Well, I think you’re going to be distracted with me here,” I pointed out. “I’m not that quiet.”
“Will your parents hate me?”
Always for life. I couldn’t help but smile. I should’ve known. Kai didn’t make mistakes.
“Can you meet me? I need your help.”
There were nine dogs, last I’d seen. Hopefully we could get them all to fit.
My heart
Besides, Will was . . . nice. He might bitch and moan, but he’d do anything to help someone out, I was pretty sure. I mean, he picked out my underwear. That must mean we’d bonded enough to ask favors of each other, right?
“Then we’ll be back, I guess.”
I lve her
Walking over to the dresser, I dug in the cabinet for both of the faunariums and quickly loaded Volos and Kore II into separate containers. If Damon wasn’t coming home, then there was no one to take care of them.
“We don’t have time to debate. I’m not leaving you here.”
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” A bellow nailed me right in the back.
“Tell your brother I want to see him. And if you fail to keep his behavior in check from here on out, I will have him hog-tied and dragged to Blackchurch. Without hesitation.”

“Or we could keep them,” Will suggested. “I mean, look at this shit. He’s shivering.”
“Yeah, they could do with a little spoiling,” Will added. “Let’s just keep them.”
EPILOGUE
Everyone thought he was inhuman. Incapable of feeling. Resistant to emotion. Sick. Unwell. A machine.
He felt everything. He never shunned an emotion. Not one. He knew that letting it run its course was the only way to get rid of it.
mouth. “You can thank Little Sister for this,” he told the headstone. “It was her idea.”
He’d lied to Kai. His mother’s body wasn’t gone. It was less than three miles from their houses. Right here in Thunder Bay.
“I want to never forget that the world is a bad place, that you were real, and that every day you’re rotting under my feet.”
Unzipping his fly, he took out her favorite part of him and glared at the stone as he pissed all over the ground.
But there was another who still very much deserved what was coming to her and who still needed to be dealt with. She was next.
