This was my most anticipated read and I LOVED it so much! Kai and Paedyn are one of my fav books couples, and I loved their interactions soooo much. The ending had me SHOCKED, and I am in need of Fearless rn Lauren Roberts. I will do ANYTHING to get my hands on an arc of Fearless, I will sell all my organs if I have to. I do love how we got Kitt's pov a few times in this book, and I hope the next novella (book 2.5) is about Kitt as I need to know more about him. I sobbed when Kai told Pae about his sister and my heart BROKE whe we learnt her story. Also Pae's dad wasn't even her dad?!?!, and the things that her 'dad' wrote in his journal broke me. I highly recommend going into this book even if you have heard mixed reviews as it was AMAZING.
Quotes:
- “I may be a monster, but if you cut me, I'll bleed. And if you break my heart, Pae, you'll break me. So, if even a sliver of your soul longs for mine, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to deserve it.”
- “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.”
- “I want her to burn for me, even if it means with hatred.”
- “I wanted to kill you," I whisper, forcing his eyes to open. "I wanted to be your undoing. But even then, I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I had." He inches toward me, head shaking and eyes roaming as though overwhelmed by what he is seeing. "Oh, but you are my undoing. My deliverance. my downfall disguised as a deity." Another slow step. "You are my ruin.”
- “Do I haunt your dreams, plague your thoughts, like you do mine?”
- “She is the torture I may not survive. Eagerly, she is my undoing. Her gaze lifts, meeting eyes that are not my own. Eyes of the man who gets to have her-if she allows it. She was supposed to be my forever. Now I'll watch her become someone else's. Because the beast doesn't get the beauty.”
- “You asked me what my favorite color was once. I'd never even pondered the answer to that question before you. And yet, I realized in that moment that it was blue." He bends to brush a kiss to my temple, a murmur against my skin. "It is your eyes.”
- “Maybe you really are a poet," I whisper. He smiles softly. "Only a fool for you." "Pretend?" My voice is small, soft like the breeze blowing through my short hair. "Never." "None of it?" I ask quietly. "Darling"-he smiles- "I have never had to pretend to want you.”
- “Go on, my Silver Savior,” he muses bitterly. “Be my undoing.”
- “We were inevitably imperfect for each other.”
- “This kiss is deep and anything but tender. It is betrayal. It is bitterness. And nothing has ever tasted so sweet. It is ruin.”
- “He is my anchor, and I am willing to sink, so long as it is with him.”
Tropes:
- Forbidden Love
- Runaways
- Forced Proximity
