“I know i promised not to tell you, but you are pretty, killer. You're pretty, beautiful, stunning, mesmerizing.” he paused. “But that's not all you are. You're everything Claire said and more. Clever, funny, caring, lively, strong, brave- all of it. You are all of it.” he kissed the top of my head. “And i do know how much you adore me,” he whispered. “I just wish it was as much as i adore you.”
“It's one of those special places where you feel like time doesn't exist. Where it will always be summer, where I'll always wake up with you.”

“someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. someone else could be labelled a villain for trying to stop them. plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.”
forever a victor vale apologist (is it still called apologist when they did nothing wrong?) also syndey and mitch>>
“People lived because she killed, people died because he lived.”
tbh i was confused half the book and it got boring at times (forced myself to finish it) but for the most part i had fun :)the dagger to throat scene did infact happen btw

“I think that perhaps everyone has a moment that splits their life in two. When you look back on your own time line there's a sharp spike somewhere along the way, some event that changed you, changed your life more than the others. A moment that creates a before and an after.”
“When you love someone, it seeps out of everything you do, it bleeds into everything you say, it becomes so ever-present, that eventually it becomes ordinary to hear, no matter how extraordinary it is to feel.”
“I don't think that true love means your only love. I think true love means loving truly. Loving purely. Loving wholly.”
“Hollow and empty are terrible ways to feel when you're used to being full of joy. But it's not so bad when you're used to feeling full of pain. Hollow feels okay. Empty feels like a beginning. Which is nice, because for so long you have felt like you were at the end.”
i'll probably never read this book (i want to but i'm terrified), even though @ray is practically forcing me to. it has 150+ trigger warnings!!! 150+!!!!
edit: just watched a few reading vlogs and i'm definitely not brave enough to read this. ever.

“the people who loved you, the ones who really cared, they would always come back. sometimes, they even came back from the dead.”
ali, babes, i love your books but for the love of god please never write smut again (the knotting gave me trauma)
“but he grins, so brilliantly, not even paying attention. “i love it when you say my name,” he says. “i don't even know why.”“warner isn't your name,” i point out. “your name is aaron.”his smile is wide, so wide. “god, I love that.”“your name?”“only when you say it.”“aaron? or warner?”his eyes close. he tilts his head back against the wall. dimples.”
he is the STANDARD
