‘Within the card, just a simple message from her great-great-grandmother.
You need to see how incompatible you are with a human.
Enjoy the next three days with your betrothed.
In the unyielding sun.’

Granny’s a bitch

‘This was clearly the Mediterranean.
And that village full of blue-washed buildings?
That could only be one place.
Chefchaouen.’

Oooh I just googled it, I wanna go

"She was watching the crow from the window today. Saying things like, Love you, pretty bird.'"
"Vlad, that's all she can say," Pandora said. "She's not like you. She has a very limited vocabulary."

😂😭

I’m not as into this book as I thought I would be, nothings really happening

"There's some forums for vampires like us. Ones who don't want to use humans like that, who wish we could all coexist peacefully."
"You want to see about marketing this product to them?"

Weirdest business plan I’ve ever heard of

‘Dante looked sympathetic as he just stood there with his arm not sizzling or smoking.
Then he used that arm to reach into his pocket, producing a tube that looked a bit like a lip balm, but at least twice that size.’

Oh fuck off, don’t tell me sunscreen works on vampires 😭

‘She sure loved the idea of eternity to read all the books she still had on her to-be-read shelf.’

‘There were many times Pandora had needed to go out in the daylight over the years. Precautions had to be taken. Long sleeves, gloves, oversized hats, and umbrellas or parasols.’

Sunlight doesn’t seem to be an issue for vampires in this book and I just tho I that’s so fucking boring

“Yeah, it's... it's kind of a family heirloom," she told him, proud of her quick thinking.

Quick thinking?? Lucy told you to say that earlier??

‘Dim light flickered from the many wrought-iron wall sconces and candelabras, casting part of the shop in shadows thanks to the labyrinth created by towering shelves that weaved through the interior.
Pandora had a fleeting thought that whispered that if she walked into one of those rows, that she might never emerge again.’

‘As if whoever was uncorking it had got ten distracted by something.’

I don’t get how editors or whoever don’t spot mistakes like that in books

Ngl really wanted Pandora to bite Victor in that scene

‘Pandora's head fell back, the moan escaping her as her hips rocked against his touch, begging for more.’

Pandora, the entirety of your extended family is next door

‘But just as she was about to give in to the need, it was Victor's hands that slid down her back, sinking into her ass and pulling her more firmly against him.
If there was any question of his desire for her, for this, it was erased at the feel of his hard length against her own need.’

🫢🤭🤭🤭

‘as he immediately spied Pandora's aunt on a sofa with half of her dogs sitting next to her or on her lap and the others on the floor at her feet, chewing at her rubber clogs.’

Life goals

"Traffic was awful tonight, so I told them I would meet them here and take the Underground so they didn't need to fight it to get me.”

The last bit of that sentence makes no sense to me

"Turns out, she'd killed her husband by putting poison in his stew.”

Tbf he probs deserved it

‘Henrietta had long been a fervent dog-lover. And she was often despondent over the fact that there were no immortal dogs the way there were immortal ravens like Vlad.’

I’m with her on that, can she turn them into vampire dogs?

‘made Pandora think that they actually didn't dislike each other,’

I think I’m not into the Elias and Lucy thing because the authors doing that thing where they tell you they’re into each other rather than showing you. Also Elias is there because Pandora’s mum wants them together so knowing he’s into someone else ruins the tension and that storyline

I don’t get why she can’t just tell Elias to fuck off?

‘Pandora was pretty sure, as she walked through the door, that Lucy whacked Elias around the head with the backpack before making her way behind the counter.’

😂

‘Oil and water, that was what he and Lucy were.’

Lucy and Elias met two seconds ago and the author is already pushing them on me, I don’t like it ✋

‘She couldn't tell him, of course, that some vampires and werewolves took that age-old rivalry seriously. Even if no one really even knew why the two didn't get along in the first place.’

It’s cause of twilight
