“Everything I said stands. You’re nothing but a beautiful irritant.”
(…)
She cocked her head. “You did say beautiful, though.”

That’s the spirit

“If you try to fight your true nature, you will lose, and you will break in the struggle. Accept what you are, and it will be less painful.”

“In a man’s world like this, you could get in trouble for being old and ugly and past your prime. Or you could get in trouble for being young and tempting. Women like that made a man sin. And that, of course, was your fault, too.”

Facts

“What do you do when you have nightmares now?”
“Now, love, I am the nightmare.”

“I can’t stand you,” I said through labored breaths. My pride made me say it, since I knew how he felt about me.
“The feeling is mutual,” he whispered against my neck, “but I will die if I don’t kiss you.”

… oop

“The keys were like a letter branded into my cheek—M for Murderer. I didn’t want them anywhere near me.”

Keys to the cells??

Do you want to know how you would die? a voice boomed.
“Fuck, no. Do I have a choice?”

I regret to acknowledge that Rowan is growing on me

“How is it you can talk so much and clarify so little? It’s like the world’s shittiest superpower.”

Stealing this

Yodelieyoidieohwapidilieayeooo—
I let out a long, slow breath. “Is this it?” I asked. “Is this what Hell is, right now?”

HAH IS HE FR ASDFGHHHHH

“Rowan liked to think empathy was a particularly human trait, but she was wrong. They could turn it off better than anyone.”
(…)
“To kill without guilt, turn your victim into a gibbering wretch.”

“Evil people don’t worry that they’re evil, Rowan. They don’t care.”

I’ve been saying this shit for years

“There are two ways to conquer a rival for the throne, aren’t there? You can either kill them or marry them.”

~ foreshadowing ~

“A disturbing thought crossed my mind. I’d never known who my dad was.”

Are they sisters????

“Wait…what was happening to me?”

You’re regaining your powers after being in the human world for so long??

“But Mortana? She sounded like a real psychopath. Someone with one guiding principle—making sure she got what she wanted. Maybe even a sadist? He’d said she tortured him in the prisons.”

Selfish, narcissistic, and immortal red head… would sacrifice anything and kiss up to anyone to save her own ass… Rowen… Rowena… ROWENA MACLEOD???

“Why did she offer you a spell to forget your past? What was it you wanted to forget?”
“Because at the heart of me, Rowan, I’m evil.” His gaze pierced me, the blue in his eyes shot through with shadows. “And sometimes, I’d like to forget that.”

That’s rough, bud
(humor is a coping mechanism)

“You said you don’t trust me, which makes sense, because I’m a dick.”

LMAO at least he’s self aware

“You threatened to kill me? You’re a vegan!”

“Mortana was involved in my mother’s death.”

Was his mother a Lilu??

“He’s made everything modern. Ridiculously so. He’s put a cappuccino machine in the kitchen, and even I don’t have one of those. I’m wondering if I need to seduce the king now.”

… I’m listening 👀👂

“Give me a second to do my hair and makeup.”

Girl, I wish

“Turning, I swam east for a moment and then I unzipped my fire suit.”

THIS IS WHAT I WAS HOPING SHE’D DO

I fail to see how the demons wouldn’t notice how goofy she looks… but sure

Girl is going full chemical warfare on these asshats and I’m here for it

“Holy shit. It was fun to be evil. Was I turning into Orion? Empathy? Sounds tedious.”

HAH same

“Never in my life had I sounded so imperious. To tell the truth, I wasn’t entirely sure where this was coming from.”

Srsly 🤨

“What are you reading?” (…)
“Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Ew. Why.
Someone get this man better smut

“The other demons were happy to rid the city of the Lilu, and Nergal sacrificed them in the dungeons. They were hanged and their hearts cut out.”

Ohhh so that’s what that vision was about

“But as Morgan is not interested in females, I thought it was fine for him to enter the bathroom.”

That’s… not how that works 😀
