While I didn’t love this book as much as the first two, I did still enjoy it, especially with all of its amazing quotes, which I’m just going to list a bunch of below for the sake of posterity.
“I’ve found duct tape more effective than advice, myself.”
“Because at this point, secret uncle just kind of feels like it belongs on the Hawthorne bingo card.”
“My grandfather built this chapel so Nan would have somewhere to yell at God.”
“I can’t even hate him now. He’s a part of me. He’s in me.’ Jameson’s fingers lightly touched my hair, then curled into it. ‘But mostly, I can’t hate him, Avery Kylie Grambs, because he brought me you.”
“Jameson Winchester Hawthorne in protective mode was a thing to behold.”
“I threw Tobias Hawthorne under the bus. Thoroughly and without mercy. Dead men didn’t get to be picky about their reputations, and that went double for dead men who’d used me the way he had.”
“Jaime and Gray have joined forces. Xander has a blowtorch.”
