“Wow! I was meeting a whole lot of beautiful people lately, and here I was probably looking some shade of green and trying not to puke on their floor.”

me at concerts nauseous from being so high up in the nosebleeds

new chapter new reasons to kick my feet

“Until we know he is no longer a threat, we will set you up at Redrock.”


OF COUUURSEEEE SHE IS AKNSNAJSJSNDND


“Oh, I thought Meera was staying here,” Carly said casually. She winked, a motion meant only for me, since she was sitting on a cushion with her back to the door. “I was going to ask Flame or Blaze to give her a tour of the estate.”
Oh! Sneaky!”

THIS MADE MY TOES CURL CARLY IS A GIRLS GIRL

“Something sharp and unfamiliar tickled in my chest.
Meera tentatively took the offered hand, and when it didn’t burn her, shook it….. The tickle exploded into full-blown jealousy. It was irrational. Meera wasn’t mine, but my hand shot out before I could stop it, gripping her arm and yanking her back against me. A low growl rumbled from my throat.”

KICKING MY FEET FURIOUSLY

“There it is,” I said, mimicking him.
“There what is?” He sounded amused.
“The part where you stop pretending I’m not your type.”

idk where all the slow burn went but yk what I’ll allow it cause it’s kinda 😝😝😝😝😝😝 THE BANTER WAS DELICIOUS

“Like what you see?” He said it in a way that said he already knew he was God’s gift to women.

OH IM SIIIIIICK OF HIM JBDDJJDJEKEE

“I’d told her she wasn’t my type back in the motel room, but that had been a lie. She was totally my type. In fact, she was the first woman my gargoyle wanted since Seraphina.“

WE ARE ONLY 6 CHAPTERS IN KEEP IT TOGETHER AND IN YOUR PANTS

also that’s like me saying “he was the first man my human wanted since __” 💀💀💀💀

“Careful, Sweetcheeks,” he murmured, already reaching for my injured arm.
I glared at him.
He shrugged. “I still don’t know your name. And I did just get a good glimpse of some sweet cheeks.”

Ok yes he came in while she was putting her pants on. Yes she had a cute pair on display. BUT WHY IS THE DIALOGUE FOR HIM SO FUCKING BAD 😭😭😭😭😭😭 ONE STAR DOCKED.

“I went in search of a first aid kit. I found it in the cabinet under the sink. The thing was a total joke.
Everything inside was expired, crusty, or useless. The only bandage left was teeny tiny. Fantastic. Because what I really needed at this moment was a Band-Aid for ants.”

HER LINES MAKE UP FOR IT

“She probably thought I was just another asshole after the egg, and technically, I was. Except I was the right asshole.”

I take my compliments back WHAT ARE HIS LINES 😭😭😭😭

“‘Release her!’ I roared.”

I’m a changed woman, people can change!

“The woman let out a scream, and something in it woke my protective instincts. I was moving before I could think. I let out a growl and strode toward them…”

I physically set my iPad down and sighed at this. Then recollected myself and kept reading cause I’m too invested. It’s okay! Only one strike for the growl counter!

“‘Oh yeah, then why are you running?’ asked the thug advancing on her.
‘Because you’re chasing me with an SUV! What the hell would you do if someone crashed through a fucking gate and tried to run you over?’”

ITS THE MOST REAL DIALOGUE IN A BOOK EVER I LOVE THIS GODDAMN BOOK WITH EVERYTHING IN ME

The intro to the world is so delicious I really love the imagery so far with the pacing THIS IS SCRUMPTIOUS GIVE ME MORE

“At least there was no blood. Blunt force trauma followed by strangling had ensured that. Karim had always been a clean freak. So this tracked.”

THIS IS HOW YOU GRAB MY ATTENTION THANK YOU AUTHOR

NOW THIS IS HOW YOU START A BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m not your strongest soldier this talk between izzy and the coach is DISTRESSING ME😭😭😭😭

of course she shows up to the first bonding meet hungover 🚶‍♀️

bye I’m getting war flashbacks to high school with talking to the coach and asking to be setter

RIGHT ON CUE OF COURSE IT WAS JUST A FLING 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹

idk man the intro just made me sigh- maybe I’m a pessimist and the cautions/warnings thrown before the book started made me wary of the plot coming thru bc I’m expecting *things* but I’M ALREADY SIDE EYEING THE BOOK PLS LET ME BE WRONG

“Delaney added ‘family’ next to ‘her diet’ and ‘killing his coworker’s wife’ on the growing list of subjects that Torek was apparently sensitive to discussing.”

Despite how I’ve been lowkey confused half the time this book has been surprisingly endearing and actually fun to read 😆

“Not that lorienok typically kept battery acid in their bathrooms, according to Keil, but sitting half-naked on an alien toilet on an alien planet with said alien about to treat her wound, she didn’t feel particularly rational at the moment.”

I’m enjoying this book way more than I thought I would. Pls enjoy a quote extremely out of context.

In reply to Laya saying that the gift Luntok gave her was lovely:

“Luntok grinned as he bowed to brush his lips over her knuckles. ‘Not half as lovely as its owner,’ he murmured when he met her gaze. He tightened his grip on her hand before he released it, letting his fingers linger.”

THE ANTICIPATION TO HIM GREETING HER IN FRONT OF HER SISTERS AND THE CROWD WAS SO YUMMY THE DELIVERY WAS SO GOOOOD

“‘Help me,’ I whimpered, Batman-style, and yes, it was just as pathetic as it sounds.”


I’ve never audibly laughed out loud from a book so many times

“You, me. Our maladjusted son who just scooted his butt across the carpet behind you”

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD IN THE LIBRARY

ugh I love hot nerds the ending of this chapter was delicious thank you onto the next plate!

“‘LOL?’ she yelled. ‘LOL, you motherfucker?’
God bless the city planners who’d decided to lay these streets out in the grid pattern that made what I’d just done possible. This was, perhaps, the proudest moment of my life. If I died tomorrow, it would be with the knowledge of this one perfect prank.”

I’m so in love with the writing style in this book that this part had me ugly cackling in the dark.
