tbh I'm the least interested in all the societies and magics

just give me this urban fantasy murder mystery plot, thanks

Marguerite Belbalm is now forever fancast as Helen Mirren in my head

"Usually when a woman takes her clothes off in front of me I have some warning."
"Next time, I'll light the signal fires."

'Darlington was a good talker, but he was happiest when no one was speaking to him, when he didn't have to perform the ritual of himself and he could simply be left to watch others.'

mood and this is why I love him

'People didn't need magic to be terrible to each other.'

step one of belonging to a secret society: have overtly artistic/lengthy names

I understand the love given to this Darlington character

haven't even met him yet but I love him

k a little annoyed with how things have been chosen to be spelled in here??

hello, lovely descriptions of gore

'By the time Alex managed to get the blood out of her good wool coat, it was too warm to wear it.'

okay you have my attention

right, let's do this

to DNF or not to DNF

okay so this is good but too cliche for me to consider it great

back to this haha

I'm just bouncing all over the place with my reading

really not a fan of the way Johann keeps literally attacking Florian like this

Johann, posing seductively: so how can I repay you hmmm?

Florian, unbothered: you can do my grocery shopping, thanks

"In that case . . . what's wrong with me, Doc?"



I guess my brain is taking all this meant-to-be-creepy aesthetic and just seeing it through crackhead lenses ahahahahaha

"I assure you, I am terrified. You're quite a fearsome man. but I am afraid of most everything, so I've found it useful to evaluate risks with a clear head in the moment and do all my screaming after the fact."

hahahahahahaha

this book: Leickenbloom

my brain: lick and bloom

oof this ain't pulling punches with the content, is it??

this is so tiny ahaha

so the last 2 stories are from her Carve the Mark series haha

unfortunately the first story was the only one that really hit with excellence

the rest just feel like well-written story ideas

ohhhhh this one is from her Carve the Mark series

I thought the name Shotet was familiar like something I'd read before xD

'All day she had been suppressing the horrible urge to laugh.'

k but mood when I was at the one funeral that mattered the most me personally

I am chuckling a little over how darn innocent Roth has made the teens in her story

they're going to prom and, like, everything sexual is overtly side-stepped

not exactly complaining, but the lack of any of this normal aspect of teens (heck even quite ace me) seems a bit awkward

'And then it all came back in a rush, that breathless feeling when all the expectations and hopes and fears formed over years were balanced on a knife's edge. When you had loved something for so long and for so many reasons that all you wanted was for that love to expand inside you.'

props to capture fandom feels so expertly here

'She had been wrong to say that death was the mystery, not life.'

"What kind of name is Eon?"
"What kind of name is Lacey? Are you a doily?"

yeah I like Eon
