He can read people. As if all their secrets had been transcribed onto the pages of a book. All it takes is a single touch.” - Emory’s Power (No wonder he’s going insane if he uses his magic everytime he touches someone)

Fake dating & forced proximity ❤️

Ione (MFC Best Friend) marrying the evil Prince… great ☠️

“U know no one’s going to ask me what I want… but just in case you were wondering, the answer is no. No, I am decidedly NOT agreeable.” - The Nightmare

“How do you know there are Lrovence Cards in the garden?” - Ravyn 😬

“Bigger distrustful than delusional…” - Elspeth
“Having hope does not make me delusional…” - Ione

“The girl, the King… and the monster they became.” - The Nightmare (There’s WAY to many riddles in this book, driving me crazy!)

“My magic moves. My magic bites. My magic soothes. My magic frights. You are young and not so bold. I am unflinching—five hundred years old.” - The Nightmare

Chapter Two: “Nothing is free. Nothing is safe. Magic is love, but also it’s hate. It comes at a cost. You’re found, and you’re lost. Magic is love, but also it’s hate.”

“The fairest of all yarrow—“ A bouquet of wildflowers.

Dedication: “To the quiet girls with stories in their heads. To their dreams—and their nightmares.”

“Farewell, my strange parents.” Love how Pip’s family trust her completely.

“It wreaked havoc on their self-esteem… Andie got louder; Becca got quieter.”

Andie’s secret bf Mr. Ward? It would ruin his career and whole family life if anyone found out. He could have left the printed note after hearing his daughters talk about Pip.

Maybe Cara was in love with Andie & killed her…?

“Stop digging Pippa.”

Naomi knows Pippa digging because of Cara.
Andie’s ex might have heard about Pip.
Andie herself might know as well…

“Everyone in her orbit so dazzled by her, so blinded, that they hadn’t noticed a darkness that might’ve lurked beneath—not until it was to late.”

“She could make you feel so high and then so low, it was bound to end in tragedy, I think.”

Theory P.2: IF Ravi isn’t the killer then is Andie’s father? Or perhaps Andie killed Sal…

“But sometimes remembering isn’t for yourself; sometimes you do it just to make someone else smile.”

Initial Theories: Ravi (Sal’s brother) is the murderer OR Andie faked her own death & blamed it on her bf (Sal).

“Lorian wasn’t just fae. He was the fae prince who had leveled Crawyth. The fae prince who had murdered my real parents.” Holy poop… gonna have a book hangover… only 6m left 😭

“Never. You hear me? You fight, or everyone dies.”

“My affections were dark, possessive, all-consuming.”

“Sometimes you do whatever you can to stop the pain.”

“Sometimes you just need to hold on a little longer and the pain will be over. And you’ll be alive.”

“Until you face up to the reality of your life, you will forever be a victim to it.”

“You wanted him because he was handsome, but most importantly, he was safe. You weren’t meant for a life of safety. A life of kisses on your cheek and mediocre fucking. A life of gossiping with villagers…”

“You talk about saving the hybrids in the dungeon beneath us, but you’re still that scared little girl who is waiting to wake up from a nightmare. You better find a way to stop running away from your fate, because the kinds of people who refuse to accept the realities of their lives are not the same people who free the helpless and enslaved.” Oh Snap…

“Jealousy is a most unattractive trait.”

“Empathy is useless in this world. Besides, my empathy won’t make you strong.”
