“I was a fucked up version of Cinderella. One who’d never known the love of her father and didn’t get rescued by a Prince Charming. And if Prince Charming showed up now, I would probably eat him.”

“All she wanted was to be chosen by him, seen by him, his attention like a purifying fire. It made her feel whole, like everything would be okay. And the sad truth was that she would do anything for a moment of affection from him. The alternative was horrifying.”

“Oh, little godling, you’re right about that. I am a monster. Your worst nightmare. I’d kill you in your sleep if I wanted. I’d kill you while f*cking your brains out if I so pleased.”

“Memories of her cherished books were the only things maintaining her sanity. Those stories she’d read and loved so fervently that she could recite every word. Characters so alive, so familiar they felt like friends and family crafted from ink and paper.”

“Silence speaks louder than any gift a man can give you. If he wanted to, he would and all that shit. If a woman would just pay attention c a man will tell her everything she needs to know without him even saying a damn word.”

“I promised that as long as I draw breath, I would never harm you. So one might ask themselves, what would happen if I were to knock you to your knees and hold my breath?” Oh

“I fly until my wings ache and the stars surround me like a glistening forest. It angers me how they sparkle there, pleasantly remote, untouched by the ravages we endure far below, among the cliffs and cities. I spray long arcs of flame through that black sky, through the emptiness. But I cannot burn the stars.”

“What exactly does heartbreak feel like? Is it physically painful? Does it make you feel like you’ll die? Because that’s what’s rampaging through me….. I want to throw up, kick him in the nuts, and scream in the woods until somebody slaps sense into me. I want to lie in the snow until the cold takes the pain from me.
I’m shattered in a single moment.
Is this what love is?”

“I’ve spent my whole life on my hands and knees, clamoring for crumbs of love. I don’t know if there will ever come a time I am not hungry for it.”

“If I wallow in every loss, that’s all I’ll ever have time for.”

“How many times did he touch you? I want to know know how many times that blue-winged fuck touched you. And if he did, I’ll have to kill him.”

Cerberus is cute

“Sleep. I will guard your dreams for the rest of the night.”
“But who will guard yours?”
“You, kefi. All my dreams are of you.” AWW

Stopped reading my current book for this. WOW

“Tell me a dream, little love.”
“I dream of freedom from tyranny. A better life for us all.”

“This was the thing with men. It didn’t matter who you really were; they wrote their own stories about you. They cast you in one of several roles: the innocent girl who needed teaching, the lunatic who needed calming, the whore who’d break your heart.“

Out of the 15+ Twisted Sisters books I’ve read— this was by far the most boring and least memorable. I’m sorry, it kills me to say it. I guess I went into this with high expectations, my fault

Shadow play?!

“Yet you burn. Despite everything you’ve endured, all the pain and loneliness and the grief and the betrayal, you burn fucking blindingly, like you can’t help but be anything less than radiantly alive. In you I see hope that never dies, and some might call it weak or naive, but I think it’s the most beautiful thing, this radical choice to be open and warm in a world that is overwhelmingly cold and brutal.”

“She belongs to me. All of Aristelle could gaze upon my little flame for all I cared, but just one touch, and I’d make sure they fucking burned.”
Ugh. I love him.

“She was the red and orange of autumn leaves in the looming, dark woods. She was the flame of life that burned on and on. The embers of life.”

“You need a bad man. Not a gentleman.” He rasps, “you need corruption and sin. You need someone to worship your innocence and despoil it at the same time.” He brings my hand to his lips, kissing it. “Goodnight, Darcy darlin’. Dream of me.”

“I’m reluctant to confess that something is missing. I love and am loved in return, yet there is a gaping hole in my heart that seemingly bleeds invisible blood. It’s something I’ve lived with my entire life— this sense of missing something integral to my being.”

Loren annoys me lol

“Where did you go, little moon?”
“Somewhere you cannot follow.”
“There is no such place. I will shatter this realm if I lose you.”
“Don’t make me the reason this kingdom falls apart.”
“It’s already at your feet.”

“People are similar to plants. Neglect will cause them to wither, but with proper care, they will flourish.”

“How am I once again explaining what love is to a man who is fucking old enough to know better?”
