LOVED IT! review to come :)

ALL THE FEELS!!

LOVING THIS!!! “Something about him speaks to me. Calls to me almost. And I can’t shake it… It’s not even the tattoos scrawled up his ribs — the one on the left reading “always”, the one on the right reading “never”. No, there’s something else that brings me here… He has this intense solitude about him. It’s as though the world has abandoned him. Or maybe that he’s abandoned the world..."

Wow wow wow!!!! Review to come. Loved it!

You know that feeling when a book is so good that you just want to cancel all your plans so you can keep reading it... and even when you can't read it, you're thinking about it? Yeah... that's me with this book.

Gah!!! This hurts!

OMG!! *gasp* THIS BOOK!!! I can't stop reading!

Can't. Stop. Reading!!!
“On this cool October morning, her life would change. From the morning she boarded this train… she would no longer be the girl in the bookshop…
From now on, she was Juliette Gervaise, code name the Nightingale.”

Ohhh, the FEELS!!! *sniff*
“Please… Just say strong and be there for me when the time comes for me to leave this cage… Because of you, I can survive.
Hold my daughter tightly tonight, and tell her that somewhere far away, her papa is thinking of her. And tell her I will return.
I love you."

Holy crap!!!!! This is so POWERFUL!!!!!! 4 simple words and suddenly I’m crying. -- LOVING this book!

“Was he a prisoner of war? Was he wounded somewhere? Dead? Or would he look up one day and see him walking up this road, smiling?"

“You needn’t worry, Madame,” he said. “We have been admonished to act as gentlemen. My mother would demand the same, and, in truth, she scared me more than my general.” It was such an ordinary remark that Vianne was taken aback.

She had no idea how to respond to this stranger who dressed like the enemy and looked like a young man she might have met at church…

LOVING THIS BOOK!!
“I love you,” he said against her lips.
“I love you, too,” she said but the words that always seemed so big felt small now. What was love when put up against war.

just finished. holy dark and twisty!!! O.O

OMG.THIS IS SO TWISTED!!!!!
*keeps flipping pages*

Can't. Stop. Reading!
Fuck the universe.
Fuck fate.
Fuck whatever gods threw that beautiful, beautiful woman in my path and made me love her. She was everything I longed for. She was everything I had ever desired. She was complicated. She was a mystery. She was depth and intensity behind coal black eyes.

“I wondered what he saw when he fell asleep? Were his nightmares as beautiful as mine?"

GAH THIS IS CREEPY!!! Creepy but also romantic. And so so good! Ok, i’m SURE my theory is right. haha watch me be proven so wrong ;)

Loving this writing so much!!
“A lot of people liked him.
But they didn’t know him.
But I would know him. He wanted me to. With every discreet glance and every subtle touch, he pulled me closer.
I drew him in.
We were falling… falling… collapsing into each other.”

“I wondered about the scars. I wondered about his false smiles. I wondered about Elian Beyer and his many, many secrets."

“For the first time I saw true and honest emotion on her face that had nothing to do with sadness or desolation.
It was anger.
It was longing.
It was unquestionable hatred.
It was love as deep as the ocean…”

‘I noticed that she was shaking and I wondered about it. But I didn’t ask. I wasn’t in the habit of prying into people’s business. I knew the importance of secrets.”

“I was an outgoing guy because it’s who I trained myself to become. Most people seemed to like me. I was safe. Non-threatening. Easygoing. I had mastered the art of hiding what I didn’t want others to see…
But there was something about this moment, this girl, that felt… necessary.
I couldn’t help but stare at her. “

LOVING the writing!!
“Her eyes gave her away. Dark and wide and bottomless. Coal black. They were sad and devoid of light. But I knew there was a soul inside there somewhere. Or at least I hoped so.”

All done! Review to come :)

Teehee!
“You need to get checked,” I snapped. “You clearly have an overabundance of testosterone in a way it’s harmful to your health.”
“Not sure that can even happen,” he replied smoothly.
“The harmful to your health part is me murdering you."

Gah. Swoon!
“You gotta learn there’s no safer place than in my arms and when you’re here… you can give me anything."

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
That is all. ;)

Absolutely LOVING this book!! KA is a genius with character development!

Bahhahaa you know its a KA book when you read the line "We'll activate the phone tree." I love her lingo ;)
