Kindle Notes & Highlights
Red Mask’s fingers circle a baseball bat that’s resting nonchalantly on his shoulder. Green Mask is holding a bow and has arrows with rubber points in a quiver that’s slung over his back. White Mask strokes a huge chain that’s draped around his hands like a snake. Orange Mask’s gloved hand rests on top of a metal golf club that’s propped on the ground. Yellow Mask has no weapon at all, but his fists are balled.
Orange Mask rises to his impressive height that nearly eats up the horizon, then slowly, too slowly, his head tilts in my direction. The neon stitches glow in the near darkness as eerie silence stakes its claim. My spine jerks when his rough, deep voice echoes in the air. “I know you’re hiding. Come out and I promise not to hurt you. Much.”
Or Jeremy Volkov. Please don’t let it be Jeremy.
PLEASE LORD LET IT BE JEREMY VOLKLOV
Please don’t tell me the Heathens participate in cult activities and have actual pacts with demons.
I click on 1.95 m. Landon’s exact height. Clothes? No Preference. Tattoos? Yes. Lan has some, but they’re hidden.

TOUCHDOWN

thank the lord
My thoughts are confirmed when he stares at me over his shoulder, his eyes still in tune with the night, tapering and shimmering with that mystic darkness. If anything, they appear more unhinged. “Come back when you’re ready to be fucked properly.”
I don’t believe in people.
can i get an amen
I had to gradually back off from Glyndon since Killian is sort of obsessed with her.
sort of? the guy straight up kidnapped her
I don’t want to die a virgin,
why the heck are they all virgins
That dull, maybe not so dull, person has gotten herself the worst type of attention. Mine.
I’m two seconds away from bashing her head in, and I have to remind myself that I can’t do that.
i feel the same way girl
He leans over and presses his tongue to my eyelid,
umm ew
can’t help spraying it into the air and inhaling it. Smells like Cecily. But not quite. It’s missing the scent of her skin.
and you say that cecily is the fangirl
I cover her neck with her hair, take one of her mangas, and jump out the window.
if someone broke into my house and took my books i would file a police report for a missings person
“Over?” He takes a step forward, trapping me against my car as a twitch lifts his lips. “We’re just getting started, Cecily.”
BOOM SHAKALAKA
grasps a fistful of my jeans, and cuts them from behind.
what the hell man. stop cutting her fucking clothes. jeans are expensive
no one is allowed to touch her. Hurt her. Or engrave a permanent scar inside her.
damn.
At the top of his chest, he has a cursive scrip tattoo that reads, Veni, Vidi, Vici. I came. I saw. I conquered.
I caress her arm, her collarbone, and then her throat, pausing at the fading mark at the side. Note to self: make a new one.
Her feelings for him are a ‘were.’
jeremy is 100% doubling birding landon right no to say a big fuck you
Hell, he even buys me mangas, comfort clothes, and my favorite tea—while calling me a stereotypical English who loves their tea.
this. when they ask me why i did it. its this.
WHY NOT ME UNIVERSE! WHAT DID I DO WRONG
“Larry,”
larry.
a large hand grips Steven’s shoulder. A masculine, veiny, very familiar hand.

scares the bejesus out of me.
dab beneath my eyes, thankful for waterproof mascara.
amen
“Or you can just go with me,” I say, tightening my hold on her hand when I remember that fucker Landon is one of their friends. I should’ve really put him in a coma when I had the chance. I stopped because people romanticize about anyone who’s hurt, and I wasn’t doing the motherfucker the favor.
Because you called that motherfucker’s name during that first time. And she refused to call mine earlier.
THAT WAS A LITERAL MONTH AGO JEREMY WHAT DO YOU WANT THE GIRL TO DO ABOUT IT
The fact that I actually struggled to peel her warmth off me and leave is bothersome and downright annoying.
Violence is just one of many purging methods that can be replaced by more peaceful ones, such as a bike ride.
yeah like why kill people when you can bike ride
“Oh my God, but it’s freezing.” “It’s okay. I’m Russian.”
Creigh lied to me. He didn’t only want to talk to Annika. He meant to kidnap her all along.
Landon stands in the doorway of the storeroom, looking as fashionable as ever in his black button-down, slacks, and luxurious loafers. His hair is styled, accentuating his angular, handsome features.
go shit a brick landon
I’ll simply abduct her,
duh
I was a rigid dick who only ever saw the world in black and white. Cecily is neither. She’s the gray. She’s the colors. She’s every rainbow I never thought to stop and watch.
no other fucker, especially Landon,
mirror mirror on the wall whose the biggest fucker of them all LANDON
Instant erection.
me when jeremy
“I’m not a nice man, Cecily. I won’t pretend otherwise, or I’d be doing you and myself a disservice. What I am, however, is someone who’ll slaughter your demons one by one until you’re finally free of them. I’ll touch your scars until you normalize them and can live with them, because they’re part of what makes you who you are.”
“Kim, love, where’s my grandfather’s hunting shotgun? I found some bastard on our doorstep who claims to be our daughter’s boyfriend… Oh, here it is. Be right back. I’ll shoot him and come back in time for dinner.”
He has no business being here, so I’ll hastily get rid of him, throw him in the nearest ditch, then join my beautiful wife and daughter.
“You guys cook together?” Kim asks with a dreamy grin as if this is some happy occasion. “Most of the time, we do, yeah.” “That’s so sweet. Hear that, Xan?” “I see nothing sweet about him exploiting my daughter to fill his stomach. That’s called free labor.” “Oh, please. Is it free labor if I cook for you?” “That’s different. You don’t have to.” “I don’t have to either, Papa.” Cecily strokes my arm. “I just like cooking with him.” “That’s called Stockholm syndrome.”
“Age is just a number.
two books in a row rina. come on we have talked about this
Aiden The fuck is wrong with you two? It’s time to stop treating your girls like they’re nine-year-olds. Levi No daughter. No opinion.
I resist the urge to stroke the freckles beneath her eyes. The one hundred fifty-three of them. And yes, I counted them.
This time, I don’t follow. This time, I do what I should’ve done that first time. I let her go.
NOOO GO GET HER YOU WANKER
