Camila’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Darkest Temptation (Made, #3)

The Darkest Temptation (Made, #3) by Danielle Lori

54 highlights

He was the glimmer of adrenaline, the roughness of tracks beneath bare feet, and the siren of a freight train coming head-on. And I was fascinated. His eyes were unreadable. “You will be safe here.” I believed him.

Camila’s Quotes

“All I knew was that together we were greater than ourselves. Together we were boundless, oceanic. Together, we commanded the heft of a planet. We were impossible to outrun.”

“We are two blues, the neat seam of dusk and dawn.
We share a sky, if not a soul, and yet we are cut of the same shades.”

“Of all the things fairy tales demanded I should believe - dogs with eyes as big as saucers, maidens felled by spindles, queens who do not remove red-hot iron shoes and dance in them until they die - this is the only thing that stretches credulity. That happiness demands so little to stay.”
― Roshani Chokshi, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride

“When I was little, she had been a walking flame, but fire requires feeding and either my mother didn't know how to sustain herself or had stopped working at it. Over the years she starved and shrank until she was a matchstick, a short burst that quickly chewed down the wood and inspired no warmth.”

“Like this life is one grand test and if we grow up wrong, then we'll end up as Cast-Out Susans."

Her mouth pinched at the idea. That week, Indigo and I had finished rereading The Chronicles of Narnia and were once again obsessed with Susan Pevensie. A queen locked out of the real she'd once ruled, exiled for the crime of growing up.
Susan Pevensie was our nightmare.”
― Roshani Chokshi, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
