Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Good,” I mutter before gripping Patrick’s head and snapping it to the side, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. “That’s for my grandma, dick.”
Chest pumping, I dig harder, bright red bubbling from where the glass slices into my skin. When I’m done, I drop the shard, my entire body vibrating. I failed Addie. And I’ll never let myself forget it. Not with the rose now carved over my heart.
His presence is pure evil, and I just know that when this man dies, he won’t go to Hell. He’ll stay in the fourth dimension, where he’ll continue to haunt and terrorize the living.
“We know you’re a bad bitch, Zade. That’s not the point.”
Who hurt you, bro?
Francesca stands on the other side of the bonfire, deep shadows, and bright red accentuating her features. A demon risen from Hell.
“Do you prefer to be the one throwing the stone or to be the one beneath it? Choose now.”
He invades my body like a parasite would, an unwelcome tenant that leeches from my life force to feed his own.
“You’re supposed to say I smell like flowers.” “Baby, there are flowers out there that smell like straight ass. So sure, you smell like those flowers.”
We’re a team, baby. Got it?”
I was born with a blackened soul and good intentions. And there is a difference between those who are needlessly evil and those who do bad things hoping that something good will come out of it. I'll let you decide for yourself which one I am.”
“It’s because I love you, Adeline Reilly. And I know you love me back.
It wasn’t my decision to be raped and brutalized, but it is my decision to slit their throats for it.
Condemning those who are capable of being the executioner doesn’t make them better people. It makes them compliant.
“Not only am I scary, baby, but I’m really, really angry. And when I’m angry, I’ll make them pray for Hell.”
“Sibby!” I shout exasperatedly. “Stop taking your clothes off, we are not having a fucking orgy!”
I can feel every beat of her heart drumming against my chest, syncing to mine in a ballad of longing and sorrow.
“Our mouths are touching the same spot,” she says shakily. “Does that count as kissing?” “You tell me, little mouse. When I make you cry out for God, does that count as praying?”
“The ride to Hell is going to be a tough one, Rickety Dick. Have fun on your adventure.”
"Without you, I will shatter. But with you, I am indestructible."
Something about tanned skin covered in black tattoos… Jesus Christ, thank you, She-Devil for inventing a man like Zade.
“You were never a whore for those men, little mouse. You know why?” “Why?” I whisper. “Because they never owned any part of you. They took what they did not possess. That doesn’t make you a whore; that makes you a survivor.”
He told me before that he wanted me to fall in love with the darkest parts of him, and I have. Every fucked-up piece of him.
“I don’t care if I need to set this world on fire until there’s no one left but you and me. The world will burn around us, and I’ll gladly live in chaos with you as long as the only person that is a danger to you is me.”
He doesn’t answer, possibly holding on to hope that I don’t know exactly where he is. As if every breath he takes can’t be felt through the strings of my web.
“Did she cry out for God?” he pushes. “Yes,” Xavier spits, and fuck, I’m falling apart. I thrust against Zade’s hand, rolling my hips mindlessly, the bliss eroding my entire being. “Good,” he says, a grin in his voice. “That means she was crying out for me.”
“I’ve followed you through lifetimes, Adeline. My soul needs you so badly that I’ve become a shadow, destined to hunt you for eternity.”
“You and I will never end, little mouse. Even when we’re six feet under, and our bones are dust, I will haunt your soul until it aches to be free of me. And then, I will hold you tighter.”
“I would kill for you—I have killed for you—but I would also put down a gun and never pick it up again if you asked it of me. The lengths I would go to for you are terrifying, little mouse. So easily, you could destroy me, and I would lie down and take it. I don’t care if I live or die—as long as it’s all for you.”
One cannot wield power if one does not have control over it.
He’s giving me a spoonful of my own medicine, and it tastes like ass.
The prey becomes the predator. She’s the most beautiful creature I ever did see.
“You’re searching for life inside that sunset, yet I seek death between your thighs,”
Heaven isn’t a place you go to when you die, it’s inside the person that’s worth dying for.
