👹 Wow I forgot how much recapping there is. great for some people, terrible for me because I'm binging.

👹 The descriptions of "otherworldliness" in this series is outstanding. Actually, Moning's writing style overall is outstanding. I also especially liked the way Barrons is always described. He isn't perfect in all his pretty man glory, quite the opposite, he is so carnal looking in a purely masculine way that makes him anything but perfect. I don't know, Mac makes him sound so attractive to me.

👹 This book is prolly my least fav out of the first five. Mostly because Mac didn't learn from her past mistakes of preconceived notions and refusing to believe anything is possible. Although it goes along with her character development, doesn't mean it wasn't a little frustrating at times. I still love her though idc.

“I told you, Ms. Lane, never believe anything’s dead—”
“—I know, I know, until you’ve ‘burned it, poked around in its ashes, and then waited a day or two to see if anything rises from them,’

👹 Their first kiss was so fucking hot god almighty. I can't believe I forgot. This is for myself and myself only.

“I couldn’t tell the difference between the two of you anymore!” he roared.
I smashed my fist into his face. Lies roll off us. It’s the truths we work hardest to silence. “Then you weren’t looking hard enough! I’m the one with boobs!”
“I know you’re the one with boobs! They’re in my fucking face every fucking time I turn around!”
“Maybe you need to get a grip on your libido, Barrons!”
“Fuck you, Ms. Lane!”
“You just try. I’ll kick the shit out of you!”
“You think you could?”
“Bring it on.”
He grabbed a fistful of my T-shirt, and dragged me up against him until our noses touched. “I’ll bring it on, Ms. Lane. But remember you asked for it. So don’t even think about trying to tap out on the mat and quit the fight.”
“You hear anybody crying ‘Uncle’ here, Barrons? I don’t.”
“Fine.”
“Fine.”
