Tin Queen (Clifton Forge, #6)

by Devney Perry

“You’re thirty-two years old and still haven’t figured it out. He’s manipulating you. This is all a sick and twisted game to get what he wants.”

oh i like the sister already.

I’d graduated from law school

wasting that education just to revenge your murderous criminal of a dad? not another brainless heroine in this book series goddamn

But why spend that energy? This was a physical relationship, and for once in my damn life, I didn’t want to have all the information.

cant wait for you to realize what a dumbass you are for putting everyone in danger because your dick says to do this

I closed my eyes and for just a moment, I wasn’t June Johnson. I wasn’t Tucker Talbot’s daughter. Emmett wasn’t my enemy, and this wasn’t all part of some grand scheme to get my revenge. For just a moment, I was a woman who shared a primal attraction with this sexy man. This man who pushed me to shed my inhibitions and be free.

and is the attraction in the room with us?

She was a beautiful woman. She was smart and kind. For the first time, I wished I had something more than friendly feelings toward her, not just because she was beautiful but because at least with her, I wouldn’t be alone. But there was no spark. Maybe Tera and I could have some fun, but it wouldn’t go anywhere. And I wasn’t going to lead her on, not when there was Maggie to consider.

i hate devney perry for this

“I spent my day drafting a will for a young couple. I hate doing them because it always makes me sad when I have to ask parents who will get their children if they die.

lol Genevieve said the same 2 books ago, I think? wtf

She’d betrayed me. She’d fucking betrayed me. The pain turned to anger in an instant.

lol bet this anger will lasts 5 seconds of your lifetime cos you're a doormat. i fucking hate this book

What was going on? A guilty woman would have bolted and never looked back. A guilty woman wouldn’t be coming to my birthday party. Unless . . .

Emmett you're a fucking doormat

Apparently, that was who I’d become. A woman who used her face and body to trick men. I didn’t want to be this person. When had I become this devious, jaded woman? Had I always been like this? No. This wasn’t me. I didn’t want this to be me.

you're 30 fucking years old and never grew up, that's WHY

I opened my mouth to answer but the words never came. He waited, studying my face. And when I didn’t answer, a wall came down between us. He shut me out completely. I braced, ready for him to storm out the door, but instead, he only held my face tighter. His lip curled. Then his mouth slammed down on mine, shocking the hell out of me with a kiss that was nothing but agonizing punishment.

he really is a fucking doormat I'm hollering

How could I have been so fucking gullible? How could I have let this happen? She’d slithered into my life like a viper, and I’d let her sink her poisonous fangs into my flesh.

doesn't matter, you're gonna bend backwards over for her again because you're a doormat

Dad had saved my life. He’d saved me so I could be here sitting beside Nova. The only way she’d know was if I told her the truth. She’d despise me. Yes, she’d deceived me for months, but I wasn’t sure I could stomach her hatred. She had every right. Just like I had every right to hate her.

so turns out emmet shot her brother. eww this feels like a cop out for devney perry. nova betrays him and then we found out he killed her brother? talk about telenovela twist. i hate this

“It wasn’t your dad.” Her chin quivered and the pools in her eyes caught the starlight. “It was you. You killed my brother.” The heartbreak on her face was almost too much to witness. But she needed to know. If she was coming after us for her brother’s vengeance, then she should know the truth. She should know who deserved to be punished. “It was me.”

i hate that devney perry resorted to telenovela plot twists 😭

Except Emmett was alive. And I’d fallen in love with him. I’d fallen in love with my brother’s killer. The enemy. It was all too much for my heart, so I screamed. The noise was raw and hoarse. The sobs shook my entire body and with each one came excruciating pain.

i didnt expect to read telenovela soap operatic shit like this this fine morning. im hate reading at this point now

I’d just committed arson. The last place I should be lingering was at the scene of the crime but I couldn’t make myself move. I heaved the empty gas can toward the clubhouse, then clutched my lighter like a weapon and watched the clubhouse burn.

crying this is so telenovala those mexican dramas are shaking

“These are . . .” My throat closed on the words. His daughters. These women were his daughters. Emmett, the Tin Gypsies, had known about them. Dad had daughters besides Shelby and me. He’d had a family. And suddenly the reality of my life hit me like a tidal wave. We hadn’t lied to stay safe from his enemies. We hadn’t hidden our names, our identities, to escape danger. We’d lied to protect his lie. We’d been his other family. The dirty secret.

not another soap opera twist 😭 I HATE THIS BOOK OH MY GOD I HATE THIS
