So I *think* that I probably like this book. The dialogue just feels off, and I've yet to be impressed with Serenity. The jury is still out I suppose...

It’s not fair that evil can wear such an alluring mask.

“I know you’re struggling to reconcile the fact that I’m actually female, but that doesn’t suddenly make me useless. Just because I wore a dress, it doesn’t change anything."

Man, I was really liking this one...but now, after a week of knowing one another, they are <spoiler>basically married.</spoiler>

“I think, I reason, I react to the world around me. I question what I know and see, and I wonder what the future might bring, though I know it won’t likely be different than the past. I hope!” His voice dwindled, becoming something raw. “I yearn.”

so far, so good.

Damage to a synth would alter its appearance slightly, but humans changed so much, so often. They wore their hardships on their bodies, told their stories through their scars.

The world had become a different place, full of blazing color, heat, and scents. Dust motes swirled through the shaft of light that lit them. She held her hands up, stirring them about. All her life she felt as though she’d been blind, with the details of the world around her only newly revealed.

He’d never doubted himself before. Never doubted his control. Years in the cage had taught him to leash the anger, the beast within. He choked it down, trapped it in solid iron bars—a manifestation of the cage he’d spent ten years in. Nobody could reach in there.

Until Lena came along.

In preparation for a Freaky Friday blog post lol.

So I'm realizing this is not the best to listen to when you're busy doing other stuff (like working...bleh.) I have no idea what's going on right now...

“I am tempted to incapacitate him with the hemlock and then castrate him.”

Lena paled. “I don’t think that would be very wise,” she said. “And the only knife we own is what I use for the cooking. You’re not using that.”

“I was planning on using a spoon,” Honoria replied.

My, my...Honor has some bite.

"The desert has been howling for you at night, my dear. It’s pacing back and forth in front of the house, leaving footprints in the sand..."

Hmmmmm.....

I think this will be a big ole DNF for me. I give absolutely zero f**** about the characters or the story.

Off to a ho-hum start :/ This series feels like it started much stronger than it's ending.

He smiled and her breath caught. Such a wicked, devilish smile. If she had been a normal young woman, without the heavy burden she carried, she might have let her gaze linger. Or if he had been a man instead of a monster.

My KU audio pick for the day/week. I figured I've already listened to the first two, may as well finish it up :)

I have other stuff I'm supposed to be reading, but....I'm stuck in this London Steampunk world!! I started with the spin-off, but now it's time for the original series :)
