And then a male voice panted over the speakers, “I’m coming, Bryce.”
Bryce’s bloodied face crumpled as she whispered, “Ithan?”

But Ithan said again, more urgently this time, “Bryce, I’m coming. Hang on.” A pause. Then he added, “We’re all coming.”

this whole with ithan defending her and coming to her rescue??? the reason why part of me ships these two and I just can’t help myself

“No one, not even Sandriel, spoke a word as Bryce took out the vacuum from the supply closet. And erased the last trace of Micah from the world.”

hehe it has me laughing every single time.

“The Governor whirled toward the open front door. To the trap Bryce had laid in opening it.
So he wouldn’t look up. So he didn’t have time to even glance in Bryce’s direction before her finger curled on the trigger.
And she shot that bullet right through Micah’s fucking head.”

it gets me squealing every damn time. this is why this book will always be an five star read bc bryce quinlan slays so much

“And despite the monster trying to break loose behind them, Bryce choked on a laugh before she begged, “You are a free person—you do not have to do this. You are free, Lehabah.”

the way this hurts more every time I read it bc Bryce loses yet another friend and she’s already been through enough.

“Hunt crossed the distance between them. Took her hands. “You’re my mirror. You said so yourself.”
He was shaking. For some reason, he was shaking as he waited for her to respond.
Bryce looked at her hands, gripped in his, as she answered. “Yes.”

my heart 😭

“No one would dare say his name, not after the Prince of the Pit became the first and only being to ever kill an Asteri. His butchering of the seventh holy star—Sirius, the wolf star”

the little marauders reference gets me every time, iykyk

“She couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t stop seeing, hearing those words, feeling the giant fucking rip in the space-time continuum where Connor should have been, in a world where nothing bad could ever, ever happen—“

this would never not hurt 😭

“I see you, Quinlan, he silently conveyed to her. And I like all of it.
Right back at you, her half smile seemed to say.”

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

“You watched Quintana for one night.”
“Ten hours, to be exact. Right until her pet chimera just appeared next to be at dawn, bit me in the ass for looking like I was dozing off, and then vanished again–right back into the apartment. Just as Quinlan came out of her bedroom and opened the curtains to see me grabbing my own ass like a fucking idiot.”

one of my favourite parts

“Don’t fuck us over this time, Aidas.”
“I do not plan to,” he said, fading into the space between realms, Hel a dark song beckoning him home. “Not when things are about to get so interesting.”

I WANNA KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS RIGHT NOW, I LITERALLY CAN NOT WAIT ANY LONGER FOR HOSAB
