Kindle Notes & Highlights
Nox spoke up first, which was fair since he was the man in charge. “The teacher’s mine. Let’s see how the idiots around here like it when they’ve got a real authority figure.”
I snorted. “It wouldn’t work in my favor very well if I picked the one with the same strengths I already have. I’m happy to take the football player. My brains and his brawn should be an unstoppable combination.”
Kai might be my favorite of the guys so far, I love me a smart man
I’d told the others to go straight for the heart. Pummel right into it like one giant shock paddle, as if our entire spirits would fit in that four-chambered organ. Let our supernatural energies jumpstart the currents that would set it pumping again. Rev it like a Harley and settle in for the ride. And that’s exactly what I did.
“We aren’t leaving you alone again. You’ll see that.” The words should have sounded ominous, but something in his expression took away any trace of a threat.
“Tell me you didn’t just try to justify attempted murder on the basis that you needed a good workout.” Vincent had been pretty dour most of the time I’d seen him, but now a hint of a smile touched his lips. “If it’s accurate…”
“You’ve never been normal. Normal’s for losers. You’re with us, Minnow, just like you’re meant to be, and we can show you ten times better than any fucking normal.”
“Our inhibitions may have dwindled with death. But we can still keep ahead of the cops. If you don’t care about the law, it can rarely touch you.”
This actually makes a lot of sense. Coming back from the dead, and actually being dead for so long, would have a drastic effect on someone
And we’ll bring our own food. We’re not going to have you starving either.” He motioned to Ruin. “Come on, you bottomless pit. Let’s go out for supplies.”
“Of course I wouldn’t do anything she didn’t want. She’s our girl. Our woman.” My lips curved back into a smile at my self-correction. And then another reason Nox might have been upset occurred to me. “I’m not trying to make her all mine. We’re all with her. However she wants any of us.”
what called to my heart were the words he said. “We’ll get there. No matter how deep it’s buried or how much has been built over top, we’ll dig it up. I fucking swear it.” Right then, with part of me wanting to melt into his touch, I believed he’d fulfill everything he promised—and more.
“I’m fine,” I insisted. “You’re not,” he growled. “They hurt you, and they’re going to pay. Tell me who it was.”
She’d spent too long having all those living voices around her telling her she was worthless, nothing but an inconvenience. Our ghostly chorus hadn’t been enough to drown them out. And now, with the four of us braced around her, maybe we were suffocating with our own expectations.
I had no idea if possessed swimmers swam well, but after all the weirdness of our ghostly union with these bodies, I didn’t think knocking our woman up with ghostly jizz was a smart idea.
The fact that he considers this is kind of hilarious
