Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I can see you have no idea how you did the third one. That’ll make Darius relieved, wary, and extremely nervous.” She nodded with a smile. “Want to be my best friend?” “No,” I said without meaning to. She nudged me with her shoulder. “You’ll change your mind. I’m really fun.” “No,” I repeated, my politeness filter missing in action.
If there were any certainties in life, one was that Reagan’s and my versions of easy were vastly different.
She’s not someone to underestimate, trust me. She looks all trembly and vulnerable, but if that banshee tries to throw magic her way, Penny will react in ways that will suck your balls back into your body, I kid you not.”
Welcome to being a woman—always blamed for shit going wrong whether it’s our fault or not.”
“I know that isn’t me. I know that I should leave you alone. That I should give you time to find someone worthy. But I can’t. I can’t stay away from you. I think about you constantly. I pull up memories of your smile. Your laugh. Your eyes…especially when they burn for me, like they’re doing now. And I’m not strong enough to ignore your pull. So any time you want, I urge you to push me out of your life and shut the door. To do what’s best for you. But until then, I’m at your mercy.”
“This is what I feel like when I’m with you,” she said softly, full of feeling. “This is why, no matter how long you stay away, I’ll never forget how good it feels when you’re around.”
“Her path has been set. Her journey is in motion. He will complete the pyramid of power. The curse breaker will join the oath takers and forge a bond in blood. It is in this union that the way forward shall be writ. That they shall learn their highest level of power, and hold the kingdom from falling.”
“The bonds of sisterhood have formed. Your unique circle has been set. Now you must harness the power of the underworld.”
“Yeah, right.” Reagan took another sip of her whiskey. “Point Penny in the right direction, tell her it’ll be fine, and let her bumble around until the whole place is in an uproar. She’ll do great.”
“You are a dream come true in a life full of nightmares.” His lips traced my jaw. “You’re my savior, Penny, and I’m honored you have chosen me. That you had enough faith in us—in me—to wait for me. I am completely undeserving, but I know how lucky I am to have found you.”
“What the hell?” Reagan shouted through the door. “You get a boyfriend and suddenly I can’t kick open your door without breaking shit? That ain’t right, Penny. That ain’t right. Wake up! It’s time to kick some ass.”
“That’s why God gave the gift of birth to woman,” his brother always said, “because he could trust in mothers the most.”
