i am so shook and need the next one immediately
read the whole thing in a day

thoughts while reading 🗡️✨

"Promise me you'll stay alive long enough to stab me in the back?"
I could make good on that promise.
kai & pae are both so hopelessly in love that they can’t kill their fathers’ murderers

He's coming for me.
And I won't hesitate again.
just you keep telling yourself that

It's dangerous, how much I think of her.
How much everything reminds me of her.

p58: it would just be an innocent bystander 😂
p79: shadow. i like it 🥷
p81: aha i never thought about that! kai’s basically powerless out here, getting a taste of pae’s life. i can’t even decide whether i want it to be her trying to rob him right now or not
p82:
abigail
! they made it!
p91: hehe this will be interesting
p92: oh! we’re hearing from kitt now
p94: damn that makes total sense that his father tried to force them together, but why?

I should follow her. I should follow her and take her by surprise I should be smart about this. Every bit of training screams at me to handle this delicately, deliberately.
But where's the fun in that?
I'll handle her as delicately as she did my father.
and what a killer line he comes out with

If she is Shadow, then I am Flame.
This girl is the very thing I can't seem to escape - can't seem to go anywhere without the remnants of her following. Where I am, she is.
Whether it's in the flesh or in the fragments of my mind.
And where there is a flame, there is always a shadow.
She is my inevitable.

'You promised to be my undoing. So, prove it. Prove it. Hate me enough to make me want you. Ruin me.’
screaming anyone??

p105:
not the kiss we expected, but the kiss we needed.
and i’m peeved she still hasn’t got her dagger back yet

'I'd watch your tongue, Prince. Unless you'd like to swallow it.'

p109: i’m pretty proud of pae for that move actually
p127: are we getting the one bed trope?
p143: 🥺 poor babies
p148: kai is no longer a fool for her 😐
p198: is calum a double agent
p218: 🤭 time for another one bed where they definitely will have to share
p221: i would not have a good poker face if a guy said this stuff to me irl
p225: yeah you just keep telling yourself that
p235: ava. is she kitt’s mum? (you can tell i hadn’t read the family tree yet)
p310: woah woah woah WOAH
p355: yes kai is finally getting to see her scar
p365: he’s a fool for her again 🤭

'Oh, but you are my undoing. My deliverance. My downfall disguised as a deity. You are my ruin.’

p367:
kai’s letting her go
🥺
p383: kitt is 100% sentencing paedyn to death just like she feared
p385: THE F…

This will be the rest of my life. Forced to love her from a distance. 
Mourn the loss of her each day.
She is the torture I may not survive.
She is my undoing.
She was supposed to be my forever.
But the beast doesn't get the beauty.
