Kindle Notes & Highlights
For those who want faeries to take you out of this dull world, and dance upon the mountains like a flame.
“You know, I really shouldn’t be anywhere near you.” “Then maybe you should let me go,” I said evenly. “It would seem that I have to.”
But my thoughts about Ava were their own kind of madness, and she’d already rendered me senseless.
“Torin,” I said, “you are getting in this tub with me.”
He glanced at me over his shoulder, his expression unreadable. “I…what?” “That took over twenty minutes. I’m not filling it again. And I’m not dealing with the guilt of taking the only bath. We were both tortured in the cells. We’ll both take a bath, facing in opposite directions.” His eyes danced. “If you really want to see me naked, changeling, you could just ask.” “It’s not like that.” I closed my eyes. “We will each face the opposite direction. I’ll face left, you right. It’s only practical.” “Whatever you want, changeling.”
He lowered his lips closer to my ear. “My demonic friend,” he purred, “if I wanted to seduce you, you’d be moaning my name right now. But I’m not trying, am I? Because you’re a pretty little demon I could never have.”
“Now that,” he murmured into the crook of my neck, “sounds like a fucking challenge, changeling.”
“Ava. I thought of you all the time in my cell. How much I wanted you next to me, your limbs entwined with mine.”
“A Seelie king hurries for no one. Especially when he has his absolutely bewitching enemy in bed, naked and wet for him.”
“In Faerie, I will freeze anyone that I love, Ava. I will kill anyone that I love. That’s what Queen Mab cursed me with. And that’s why you can’t come with me, my changeling.”
In Faerie, I will freeze anyone that I love, Ava. I will kill anyone that I love. That’s what Queen Mab cursed me with. And that’s why
you can’t come with me, my changeling.”
As the soldier fell to the ground, my gaze lifted to the face of the most beautiful fae I’d ever seen, and the world went still. It was Torin, moving and breathing, looking for all the world like a god of vengeance with his blazing blue eyes
“I would tear my own kingdom apart for you if it meant we could be together.”
As I raced toward the castle, I spied a figure with black wings like a moth’s. My world tilted. Ava, my love, what the fuck are you doing?
“Beautiful. Changeling, I would burn down my kingdom for you and take a blade to the heart all over again. I would travel to the death world and listen to the wails of the harrowed souls if it made you happy.”
