King of Sloth (Kings of Sin, #4)

by Ana Huang

Remember, murdering a client is considered unprofessional.

For those who have a job were you have to interact with clients. We can feel this in our deep cores.

On anyone else, her simple black gown would’ve been boring, but Sloane could wear a grocery bag and still blow everyone else out of the water.

This kinda gave me Marilyn Monroe vibes with the potato sack.

“Deja de ser tan terco. Haz las paces antes de que sea demasiado tarde.”

This phrase reminded me of my mom. R.I.P.

“Dancing is about movement. You can’t move properly if you’re imitating a petrified piece of wood.”

I need to remember this. Who knows when one might need this phrase.

“I’ve come to terms with the fact we won’t mend our relationship before he passes. Not everyone gets closure. Sometimes, the wounds run too deep, and the end of the road looks just as shitty as the miles that came before it.”

This is honestly sad. What's even more sad is the fact that I know the feeling too well.

But this wasn’t a movie. It was real life, and sometimes, that meant loose ends didn’t get tied up.

💔

The water heals us in ways we can’t comprehend.)

I can’t say for certain what the future will hold, but at the risk of sounding like a cheesy motivational poster, know this: life ebbs and flows, and there’s always room for change. Humans have the capacity for growth until they leave this earth, so never feel like it’s too late for you to take another road if you’re unhappy with the one you’re traveling. No matter which road you take, I’m proud of you. I hope you are too. Be proud of the person you’ve become and the person you’ll grow into. Even though you’ve just arrived in the world, I know you’ll make it a better place. You’re my greatest joy, and you always will be.

For those of us who need to hear this.

if it were anyone else, I would’ve balked the second he told me our first date was at his house. That was how charming serial killers lured their victims to their deaths.

She's not wrong though.

Those butterflies in my stomach were getting out of hand; I needed pest control or something.

he told me he wished I were the one who’d died instead of her.

This part 😭

“Luna is short for mi luna. My moon. Because no matter how dark the nights got, you were always there, shining so brightly that I always found my way through.”

So sweet. I love this so much!

It didn’t matter how many mornings I woke up to her or how many nights I fell asleep beside her; she never failed to take my breath away.

That was the best part about being with the right person. Some days, we could talk all night; other days, we didn’t need words at all. Just being with each other was enough.

This is the honest truth.
