Twisted Games (Twisted, #2)

by Ana Huang

“Life is a war zone, princess. The sooner you understand that, the safer you’ll be.”

“There’s more to life than trying not to die.”

“I’d rather you hate me alive than love me dead.”

I’d rather you hate me alive than love me dead.

Even when you’re not there, you’re everywhere. In my head, in my lungs, in my fucking soul.

Would the pleasure be worth the eventual pain?

The best rulers are those who can wield both the carrot and the stick in equal measure.

You filled a part of my soul I always thought would be empty, and you healed scars I never knew existed. And I realized…it’s not that I didn’t believe in love before. It’s that I was saving it all for you.”

“But someone once told me we always end up where we’re meant to be, and this is where I’m meant to be. With you.”
