Quotes by Mel Lane (?)

“Apparently, reverse harem is a romance trope that has an occult following to the point that some people won’t read books without it. I’ve never considered polyandry, but the mechanics have me curious.”
― Mel Lane, Dead and Buried

“I won’t be locked away anymore. I will experience life. All of it. The pain, the happiness, the disappointment. I want it all. I’ll never let anyone take it away,”
― Mel Lane, Dead and Buried

“I want to read one of the books they talk about on TikTok. You know, the ones that are basically porn?” Zane smirks as he types at his phone. “Read smut. Got it. What else?”
