I have so many questions

"Maybe the lesson here is that it doesn't matter how many times you rewind, there's always something you're going to regret."

For someone who watches tons of horror movies, Alice is being extremely stupid to not see how suspicious this guy is!

I knew she would rescue the unicorn! I can't believe they aren't considered sentient beings!

Conversation between Lucy & Esme, her wolf
He thinks you look ready to mate, too, Esme said smugly. Yes, thank you, Esme. I got that as well.
I gave Manners a smile. ‘Cat got your tongue?’ I asked cheekily.
Why would a cat have his tongue? It is clearly in his mouth. You can see it while he is ogling you.
I struggled not to laugh aloud. It’s a traditional saying. It means he can’t speak.
You humans are so odd.

I loved this book growing up and don't remember much, but I thought I'd see if I still enjoyed it

I picked this for my Halloween read. It seems fitting.

Quote:

"Most of the time our wolves are more civilised than we are. Humans have always been the real monsters in this life." (Lucy to Archie)

Quotes from Lucy:

"I use my good looks like a warrior wields armour. They protect me. Men think I’m out of their league and rarely bother approaching me."

"Just because I’m pretty, doesn’t mean I have to be evil."

"The day for duty was over. Now it was time for vengeance!"

I really hope Killian actually kills those pricks for what they planned to do, instead of just threatening them, which is what typically happens.

I randomly picked this not expecting much but it's SO CUTE! I love how protective the guys are of Monroe.

"Tonight, after finding my precious Monroe, I had plans to keep the Grimm Reaper busy." -Killian

"If petting me helped to calm her, then I would happily sign up to be her emotional support wolf." -Killian 💙

I'm kind of mad that it ended where it did, because now I feel like I have to read the next book right away just to find out exactly what happened & I wasn't planning it. Maybe that was the point, though.

Clearly the author has written other series set in this world, but since this is the beginning of a new series, it shouldn't feel like I'm missing things that happened in other books, but it does, which is frustrating.

Esme freaking out about it raining cats and dogs was so freaking cute and funny. I think Lucy's bloodthirsty wolf is my favorite character.

"It's best not to be too specific with wishes, otherwise you end up getting what you think you want, instead of what you need. How dangerous."

Well, it took almost the entire book, but she finally realized that Sam wasn't worth her time. Better late than never.


"I wonder how much of a woman's life is spent this way. Enduring, waiting for enjoyment or fuck it, death."

Sad but unfortunately accurate

I knew Sophie knew who the ghosts were, but I think they had it coming.

"I have only ever defended myself. I'm otherwise perfectly pleasant."

Sounds reasonable to me. They did try to drown her after all.

Ok, huge Ralph is definitely less cute. And WHY would she hide where the ghosts are???

"What is it about a woman in full control of herself that is so utterly frightening?"

"Or maybe it's that I live alone in the woods. And what's more damming? That I live in the seclusion of the trees, or that I live alone? Or that I'm happy about it all? That I've made these choices, that I have these gifts and I embrace them? I'm not ashamed of who I am."

Annie really should be more like her & stop seeking validation outside herself.

"Why do you fear me? I've never understood peoples fear. What about me is so terrifying?"

"I don't smile when I don't feel like smiling. I don't pretend. I'm entirely honest about who I am. Is that my great offense?"

I don't get it. I'd pick magic over Sam any day.

"The first time I saw you, I recognized you. I knew you were just like me. But you didn't know what you were, what you could be. I thought if I showed... Perhaps I pushed you too hard. I wanted it for you more than you wanted it for yourself. That was my mistake. To put so much faith in someone who has none."

"And now you want to go back to being ordinary." -Sophie

I noticed Sam didn't say he & Shannon broke up when she asked about her, which means he's still with her while he figures out which one of them he wants to be with. I wish she'd get over him. He's a jerk & she needs to work on herself.
