Time for an immersive read with the ALC! 🥀🫶

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

My former codependency getting triggered left and right in this 🙈

“I thought it was the perfect time to bring her back to my place and, well, deflower her, for lack of a better word. I guess, fuck her like a dog in heat would get the point across.”

Y’all this one might not be for me. 😐

Dizzy from this whiplash but I need more!!!

Call me toxic, fine, but I love that little moment after someone hurts Elliott’s feelings when she decides she’s going to exact revenge doing something SO PETTY 😂

I’m not saying I would do the same things she does but I DO UNDERSTAND HER (and would probably enable her if we were friends)

“He’s irresistible like that.”
DOES MICHAEL HAVE A CRUSH ON HIS COMPETITION TOO - bc it seems like everyone is in love with Casey 😂

This was already reminding me of a particular episode of the xfiles and then BAM! An xfiles reference! I am truly in my happy era right now. This book was written for me 🥰

He reached out with a hand gliding his finger up the elongated spine of her collar chain, ending at one of the two skulls attached on either side, saying “I like this” and then he turned away with the hand that almost made contact with her skin balled in a fist!

This is how you write yearning 👏 it’s not in your face but I’m eating it up 👏

Finally, we get his POV:
“She was young. Too young. No older than eighteen.
But she was mine.”

Ew. Second of all, ew.

“He slammed his fist into the wall beside my head, and I felt the world around me tremble beneath him.”

So that’s actually domestic violence, ladies. And given this ain’t a dark romance I need you all to know this is not romantic behavior.

Oh so he tells her what she can and can’t wear too, how charming.

“Brought you supper”
Ew ew ewwwww
😭😭😭

“Tell me you’re not going to let anyone touch you”
She just met him by the way. 😬

Gavin is a touch too overbearing for my taste 😅
I bet you he has her resting heart rate memorized too.

Vicious 😬

I annotated this part both with my purple “horror” tab and my yellow “hot🌶️” tab WTFFFF:

“‘They’ll not take you,’ he murmurs in that raw, animal voice…’They’ll hold you for me instead. That’s all they’re good for now. Holding what’s mine.’”

Guys if you understood the context!!!! 😱🥵😱🥵

This is not going anywhere I thought it was 😳😱

“Look at her one more time and from this night forward, the only thing you’ll be staring at is the endless black void of remorse.”

Rykaia teaching Maevyth words to whisper to Zevander in their language and Zevander shudders, asking Maevyth if she’s been drinking 🤭🤣

“She’s not your Diviner, asshole. She’s never been yours.” 🥵

I forgot how bad influences Maevyth and Rykaia are on each other 🤭

“Fuck their rules”

“Jealous, Alex?”
His hand moves down, thumb pressing against the spot where my pulse hammers in my neck. “I’m sick with envy at the wind that slips through the holes in your knitted sweaters, Winters. Jealous doesn’t cover it.”

THIS MAN!!!

Time for a reread!!!

I might just finish this book this year

I feel like I’m doubting who the stranger is and I’m just gonna vibe until I find out 🙈

I feel like it’s obvious who the stranger is but I need to knowWwWw
