Dara’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Shattered Hearts (Hudson Yards, #2)

Shattered Hearts (Hudson Yards, #2) by Tina Spencer

1 note & 1 highlight

“You want me to forgive you?” she says seductively. “Yes,” I choke out. “Good. Get on your knees and crawl to me,” Zoe demands. “What?” I think I’m in shock. “On your knees, Dominik. Show me how sorry you are.”

Oh this was hot and so full of potential but no follow up. Boo!

Dara’s Quotes

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

[Kung Fu Monkey -- Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009]”
― John Rogers

“There are some foods some people just don’t like. I just don’t like movies. People tell me, don’t you care what they’ve done to your book? I tell them, they haven’t done anything to my book. It’s right there on the shelf.”
― James M. Cain
