But how?” I tugged at her gown, clinging to her promise. “How will I know you’re really here after your body is gone?”

Love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances. The passion is the same. The pain is the same.” While my older sister, Emmabelle, chased after squirrels, played soccer with the boys, and climbed trees, Auntie Tilda and I admired the sky. You think I slept with Georgia? I didn’t touch her. I tried. Trust me, I did. But she wasn’t you. And I know you don’t expect me to give you answers, but I’m going to do it anyway because there’s a small part of me that thinks that maybe, just maybe, you’ll give me a chance afterward.” And then, there's this whole revenge thing and the heroine's role in it that had me scratching my head...I couldn’t breathe without thinking about what a monster I was underneath my clothes, underneath my flesh. And then, Later in the second half, I was sighing, swooning, sweating, melting and all the while still swearing at his crude behavior and vicious ways that he cannot help :)! He is not named Vicious for no reason. He earns it! He can't be a saint all all of a sudden, right? :)

Our main male character is like that. He has been torturing the love of his life, his favorite woman, his obsession and his savior since they were in high school. And that’s when I was going to strike. That’s when I was going to show her she was nothing more than my property. Not only does Shen create fantastic characters, but she crafts a great story. I love how her words paint such vivid scenes which I can see and feel. The opening sequence is magnificent and sets the perfect stage for what follows. It’s disappeared. Hopefully not in her hairdo.” I heard the grin in my sister’s voice. “Oh, by the way. Can you bring Hunter’s ring if his brother doesn’t show up to take it? Technically, it’s Cillian’s job, but he’s probably in the gardens, skinning a female employee and making fashionable coats out of her flesh.” Will you give me a sign?” I pressed. “That you’re there in the sky? A lightning? Rain? Oh, I know! Maybe a pigeon can poop on me.”If I gave it more than 1 star, I would have a feeling I support bullies, immoral people and human degradation. there you were. Pure and scar-free, with your big kind eyes and honest smile. You were so clean, and I was filthy. I guess I wanted to dirty you up" There’s a problem, though. While Kill is an attractive man, he’s cold and calculated, incapable of love. It was going to be especially hard for a man like that to find a wife, at least as fast as he needed one. Let just say that I’m not too crazy about the books where teenagers think, talk and behave like grown-ups and where adults practically do not exist.

Kill’s father is obsessed with having an heir to pass on the family money to. So he straight up tells Kill if he doesn’t get a wife and son, fast, the company and family wealth will be gone as far as he’s concerned. This was pure lust, exploding after a decade of simmering quietly, brewed by frustration, jealousy, and hate.It wasn’t the first time I’d spoken to a cloud like it was my dead aunt, so I couldn’t blame my level of intoxication on this particular quirk. “Weather’s looking fine. Sailor is going to appreciate it. How do I look?” Pers?” my older sister, Emmabelle—Belle for short—crooned from the other side. “The ceremony starts in twenty minutes. What’s taking you so long?” I’d always been the servant. Me, my parents. Vicious was right in calling me HELP. Not that it wasn’t rude, but it was the truth nonetheless. Infertility?” I wasn’t in the habit of parroting people’s words, but … what the shit? Infertility! I was barely thirty. I had at least five more years to make gorgeous, memorable mistakes with random men before I needed to think about having babies. - exactly normalize later pregnancies, because why should we have a husband, mortgage, car, and 2 kids by 25??? because I am 23 and I have NONE OF THESE THINGS. NOT EVEN A GODDAMN license, but that's okay because hot girls can't drive. Nothing, nothing that happened to him in the past, can justify his disturbing, disgusting, abhorrent behavior.
