“He’s supposed to want me. He can’t want me if I remind him of his mother. Mothers aren’t sexy.” 😭😂

“Do not siblings treat each other abominably when they truly love each other deep down? Couldn’t two lovers do the same?”

“I think perhaps you should see a doctor.. something is wrong with you. You don’t react in fear when you know a literal monster is standing across from you. You don’t blink at the thought of murder. I’m starting to think you’re not human…”

100% this book is better than the first. Her & him are dancing after he protected her & his eyes are blazing. She’s falling in love. He’s definitely in love. Omg. ❤️

“He goes for my throat and I brace myself… but the pain doesn’t come… the pressure isn’t gentle nor bruising… he starts raking his teeth up the Sid dod my throat… a whimper comes out of me… it wasn’t one of fear, which is more terrifying than anything else.”

He tilts the chair back on two legs… I place my slipper under the seat & wait for gravity to do it’s job… I run as a laugh escapes my lips… he grips me by the waist and spins me… (my favorite part in the book so far)

“I’m a man, not a peacock.”

“I cannot hide her away again. I will not play the fool again. I will not cater to the men around me again. I did my time.”

“Dance with me.”
“You’re so beautiful it hurts.”
“I kept my distance to keep myself from doing something stupid. Something like this.”
“You’ve given me hope & become an invaluable confidante & greatest of friends. A—a woman I could love.”

“He’ll have me thrown into prison… He’ll— Kallias laughs so loudly and abruptly that his whole body shakes from the force…”
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
“You killed him!” He throws his head back & laughs. “My little hellion. Quite the force to be reckoned with aren’t you? Say you’ll marry me Alessandra.” 🥹❤️

“”This is it. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted. He’s offering me the world. He’s just not offering me himself with it. When did I start to want that?” 🥺

Me finally understanding the table arrangement. Him giving her a real spot beside him. “You might as well have proposed…” Him “Actually I want to talk about that later.” WHAT?!?!

“He will never marry you or touch you it be with you in all the ways you deserve.” Leandros is definitely the one who killed the parents & targets the king!

“Looks. Manners. Personality. Each category is ranked from one to five. I don’t think it’s necessarily about finding the perfect man but finding the perfect man for you.” Drake is a 15

“Don’t be afraid of who you are. Say what you wish. Be who you wish. Don’t try to be someone else. You don’t want to catch a man who wants me. You want to catch a man who wants you.”

“Aren’t we all drawn to our friends in the beginning by trifling things? True bonds develop afterward, when character is revealed.”

“Alessandra Stathos, that’s positively despicable… You are an absolute gem, do you know that?”

“Thank fuck. In all the stories, the damsel didn’t get aroused by the villain threatening to steal her away. But this was their twisted fairy tale.”

“Change was terrifying. The unknown always was. It was the very essence of its being unknown that made it so. The familiar was comforting even when it wasn’t necessarily good.”

“He’d been right when he said she didn’t want Prince Charming. . . She wanted the demon.”

“And she fell directly into the Prince of Envy’s waiting arms.”

“Who says I’m asleep, Your Highness?”

“If you run, I will chase you.”

“The blindfold. The mention of only tonight. The abrupt departure. In some way she was certain he’d bared himself more than she had…”

“If he dies, so does my father.” WHAT

The heart he assumed to be shriveled and black pounded furiously as he looked Camilla over more carefully “he hurt you?”

Envy gave her a slow, cruel smile… he closed the distance between them caging her between himself and the wall. “I warned you. I’m not saint, Miss Antonios.

“Apologies for any insult it cause but I am NOT in the market for a husband, my lord. Please just go.” - Camilla
“But I’m intrigued by you now, Miss Antonios. Is that how you welcome all patrons or just the ones you find incredibly handsome?”

“I wanted to be good, but something in me needed to be bad with him.”
