He was Caden. He wasn't any man I'd met before. He was the only man I'd ever loved.
She owed me nothing, but she could break everything.
“It’s us, Captain. You and me.”
The second full-length novel of this epic saga was an emotional roller-coaster ride of mindf*ckery. The writing was just as fantastic, the story just as heart-wrenching and beautiful, but I did deduct a half-point just for the sheer volume of craziness. At times, it felt overwhelming. Through it all, Greyson was my anchor. She is one of the best heroines I've read in awhile. She is a flawed human, just like the rest of us, but her loyalty and conviction is beyond what I've ever witnessed. She is the definition of a strong female, and she is what keeps me so invested in this story. That's not to say I don't love Caden- just like Greyson, I love him so much it hurts.
If only that were enough.
So. Many. Quotes.
"I was my own person before. I had a name, and I've loved you from the beginning."
"I've always wanted you. That's all there is to it. Past, present, future. It just is. There's no starting point, and there's no end."
In moments like this, when I had to define the indefinable, I was the loneliest man on the planet.
"If you're ever in the darkness again, don't ever doubt that I love you."
"If I could write my love in the sky, it wouldn't be big enough. I'd run out of room. I'd fall out of the air trying to say it all."
“I own your orgasms, your pain, your pleasure, your hunger. I’ve put my fingers on your heart and felt it beat. It’s mine. I own this body. Every inch of it. Every bone. Every organ. Every drop of blood.”
Darkness pressed around me. It wasn’t black. Not the absence of light. Darkness was the absence of anything at all.
The ultimate betrayal is the self against the self.
“You’re the beating heart of my life. You’re the blood in my veins.”
“Greyson. I don’t feel much. But without you, I feel nothing. You’re the only thing keeping me human.”
The sky was the same color no matter who cried under it.
