HEY MARIE.

I swear I'm in love with Marie's writing and the series just gets better and better with every single book.

This book had me captivated from beginning to end, I barely put it down. Lilac and Thorn is so good, you can't help but love everything about it.

The romance, the spice, the banter, the writing in general, the characters, their arcs, just UGH.

There's a part of me that has always liked Greyson (yes, I know I'm that bitch) but I couldn't help but fall more in love with him.

And Axel is forever the love of my life. (Well, one of them at least).

I NEED book 4 like right now. PLS. MARIE.

I SWEAR TO GOD, THOSE LAST CHAPTERS. YOU'RE KILLING ME.

"Like her?" The unnerving mania in his eyes began to return. "Bria, If I could get Kira back, I'd kill her over again if it meant Madora looked at me."

"… I even got her to tell me she loved me before I jammed a dagger to her back."

"Wait a minute."… "For all the jokes I've made about you being a mutt? For it to turn out you came here to get collared–"

"Impolite to ruin a woman like that, and not take care of her after."

"Greyson?" Maddy sobbed. "I fell in love with the man who tried to kill you, Briar. Told myself I just needed more control to keep you safe. But I fell in love with him, and I don't know what to do with that."
