They thought they could exile me and I'd go quietly? Not likely. It's been five years and I've only gotten stronger, and more pissed off. Now the Sanctum wants me back, and I'm half tempted to tell them to suck it.

But I've got a score to settle, and fights to pick with the community that turned its back on me when I needed them most. In other words, I came here to kick a$$ and suck blood...and I'm all outta blood.

58% (view spoiler)[At this point in the book I really feel like we should actually know the series of events that left her and her sister ostracized from the magical community. Like what did her parents actually do that was so horrible? I'm going to die if her parents uncovered some treasonous plot or something and were killed to silence them. (hide spoiler)]

78% (view spoiler)[Why must there always be some mean girl shit going on? I'm still pissed not having all the facts. Makes her bestie hating on her just anger me and now this new bitch tryna be all up on Cole, someone's gonna pay for all this drama! People need to get over hating her and her sister though for something their parents did, it's getting old! (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Am I wrong in being pissed she made up with her friend? That’s bullshit. Still mad her parents situation was made out to be so much worse than it was. This was ok, not as good as I hoped though. (hide spoiler)]
