They’re all liars, but we’re not. This isn’t a lie. - Julian

Theya’s a burden that comes along with knowin’ the truth. It’s heavy and cripplin’ and comes at a price. Don’t ask questions yah not ready to heah.” - Benny

“People will always have something to say, but it’s your fault you become it." - Julian

"I want to know what you’re thinking.I want to be there, wherever it is your mind takes you to.” - Julian

'It was a strange love … the kind that didn’t feel good all the time … the kind where my greatest fears crawled, but an undying acceptance too.The kind where I had to stand in front of a mirror, forced to see me for what I was. What this was. The kind to question myself and everything I knew. I was certain this was like no other … though I had nothing to compare it to. Maybe no one could ever. And perhaps that was the point we could not see. No two were the same … or would ever be. And there would never be an answer for what it was, but I was in love … the kind where King had said; how, “Blood called to blood.”' - Fallon

''I know that you never know how to say the right thing, but you still say it because you believe it and stand by it, and you don’t care who it offends.Then other times, you say nothing because you want to say everything!And because we feel right when everyone says it’s wrong, it has you questioning everything!I know that you are always trying to do the right thing even when it doesn’t feel right.'' - Fallon

So, I kissed the night, got lost in his sky and suspended in his time. I kissed the darkness too, as if it was all I knew because it was a part of him.

'So, I kissed the night, got lost in his sky and suspended in his time. I kissed the darkness too, as if it was all I knew because it was a part of him.' - Fallon

Have you ever once stopped to think that you’re not the darkness and everyone else is? Julian, over and over and over, they repeatedly broke you down with these words, for I don’t know how long, to keep you exactly where they wanted you. To keep you tamed. To steal your voice. Your confidence.You taught me that!" - Fallon

'It wasn’t until after you were dead when people started to listen.' - Fallon

'Internal scars never healed when they always bled.' - Julian

"Do not fall in love with the moon, they said. I fell in love anyway, and they would all laugh. They could not see her beauty. No one would believe me if I said the moon breathed life into me, that it was here, inside her, where I found myself again. They wouldn't be able to understand. And no one could ever love her as deeply as I did. No one else was made for it, and those who were like me weren't brave enough. No ordinary being was created to fall in love with the moon, only that of the aberrant. The strange. They said you couldn't know the moon, touch it, kiss it, make love to it. You could only watch from the dark trenches of the earth, admire it from afar. Yet, still, I fell in love with the moon. And she, too, fell in love with me." - Julian

We were different, but the same, with a love so strange. - Julian

“All men are monsters in some way or another.” -Fallon

When A Great Love Dies, A Billion Hearts Stall. It amazes me that every single one of those hearts live within my own. It feels as if I have an endless number of lifetimes Every second without has, an Excruciating Reminder. Some my say have Even Become Melodramatic in My Misery. However, this is my misery and my misery. How Dare Anyone Tell me the Extent of My Pain. How to Go on Feels Like Torture to Me. Any Thoughts You Spend On Your Beloved, for I Spend a thousand times more on mine. Tell me I am wrong, and I will Offer My Chest for you to rip my heart from my bones so you can see. While you have it, go on and cut into it, Grant Me The Freedom of this Heartache. I do you, and then be Gone with yourself. -
Bellamy Blackwell

You are not given love, for it is not a right! Love is a privilege, and what have any of us done to deserve it? - Bellamy Blackwell

It was not a bad book just not a subject I am interested in reading about. Dont care for witches all too much as a main storyline.

I liked this book very much. I only think that the writing made me feel like they’re 19 years old, no more than that. But it’s nice, go for it :))

Wish there was a tad more meat to the plot. The biggest plot points just fell a little flat. But the relationship and heart between the characters made up for it.
