He “united” her hands, but he should’ve “untied” them. 🙄

I don’t understand how books and movies aren’t required to have content warnings when it comes to r*pe and torture and shit like that. This is disgusting.

This feels very drawn out. I hope it gets better soon because I’m close to DNFing.

I don’t know why it bothers me so much but I absolutely cannot stand when people say suntan lotion. It’s sunscreen, guys. You use tanning oil for a tan. I highly doubt these girls were worried about their suntan. They were putting on sunscreen, not fucking “suntan lotion.”

Soiled boxers? Is this grown ass man shitting himself and letting his boxers lie around?

Her brother is a fucking loser.

“I’ll help you out with your situation and talk to your brother, but only if you come over tonight because I’m a disgusting man who only wants one thing from you.” How does she not punch this pig?

A few pages ago she was talking about how she’s got claws and could scratch up Alé with them, now tonight, suddenly she “used” to keep her nails long and now they’re like a 6-year-olds. Do editors not pay attention to consistency?

No, bitch. The only good ped* is a dead ped*. She should’ve k*lled that motherfucker.

I’m so confused. If the Home knows this baby is Reverend Jerry’s, then wouldn’t that mean they know he r*ped her? How is this mother fucker getting away with this??

I’m sitting in the parking lot, waiting for my client, I can’t start crying now 😭

“There is no second phone,” Ginger snapped

Heh. I see what you did there, Mr. Hendrix.

After what Miss Wellwood went through, and Hagar being there for it, you’d think Miss Wellwood would understand why the silver’s there and would WANT it there. What a dumb bitch.

If witches can’t cross the silver, then by that logic you just trapped Fern & Co. out of the house too because they literally became witches when they signed Parcae’s book in blood.

Omgggg this book is so freaking good. Took awhile to get to the point but holy shit. I’m invested.

The sky is gray, but the only light in the room is coming from the tips of their cigarettes. Yeah, okay, that makes sense 🙄
And yet! Fern can still see well enough to read from the book. Right. Okay. Sure.

Laurel says “But you still haven’t told us where Zinnia’s going to sleep.“ I’m so confused. She literally JUST told you she’s going to take the attic bedroom. That’s what the entire conversation right before you said this was about.
Do a lot of authors often just forget what they’ve written immediately after writing it?

HOT DOG SALAD?!?!?!?

🤮🤮🤮

“Fern wanted that. She wanted that so bad.”

A few paragraphs down:
“Fern wanted that. Fern wanted that so badly.”

🙄

Why has she not asked about a plate yet? She’s sitting there while everyone else around her eats and hasn’t thought to ask if she could have a plate?

“She had a way of looking past someone—” No, just stop. Stop right there. Elías has no idea what Alba has “a way” of doing. He met her once and talked to her for maybe a total of five minutes, and four of it was in the dark where he could barely see her. He doesn’t know anything about her and her “ways.”

Look, I get that the characters speak Spanish, and the book is set in a Spanish speaking country. But if you’re going to write the book in English, can we please stick with English? There’s so many Spanish words that I don’t know sprinkled in and I’m really tired of the story being interrupted so I can look up what they mean.

This book is crazy boring. I really hope something happens soon. I don’t want to DNF another one 😭

This book is confusing. First of all, how is Alba blackmailing Carlos when he’s completely aware of why they’re getting engaged? It benefits both of them. Did I miss something? Second, what fucking country is Alba in? I thought Elías was traveling to Mexico from Spain, but maybe I misunderstood. But if it is Mexico, why is everyone fair haired? And why are all these fair-haired people speaking Spanish?

Saying “fuck you” to someone in 1765 was not a thing. The word “fuck” existed, but it wasn’t used in that way. I know, I know, it’s just a book and things like that don’t have to be accurate but this is bothering me. It makes it feel too modern. It’s taking away from the fact that this is 1765.

Wait so I chose this book because it was already on my to-read list and would satisfy one of the challenges I’m trying to complete. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to what it was about, but…what is it with me and demon-infested mines right now? 🤣 From The Book of Accidents to this lol.

Earlier the trash was “in“ the floor instead of on the floor. Now there are papers in the floor instead of on the floor. Is this guy just stupid? No, I’m serious. He has to be completely stupid.
