Ophelia had one. She kissed his scars, first the one cutting through his eyebrow, then the one cutting into his cheek, and finally the one cutting across his temple. With each contact, Thorn’s eyes widened. His muscles, conversely, tightened.
“Fifty-six.” He cleared his throat to make his voice less hoarse. Ophelia had never seen him so intimidated, despite his efforts not to show it. “That’s the number of my scars.”
She closed and then reopened her eyes. She felt it again, even more violently, this urgent call from deep inside her. “Show them to me.”


Ophelia waited 2 years and 7 months, she was horny and ready. Lol I fucking love her.

Okay, keep in mind it’s a slow plot and LITTLE TO NO romance but surprisingly I enjoyed it very much. I did wish there were more scenes with Ophelia and Thorn because I love the scenes with them two. Even if it’s them fighting or dismissing each other but very entertaining.
(I would do anything to have a POV from Thorn omg)

Basically it’s the same drama Justin a different ark which I ain’t mad about, we get to meet new people and also a new POV. Victoria. Ophelia goddaughter who doesn’t talk or can walk but she does ‘journey’ outside of her body which is how she explores.
Their so close yet so far from the end that imma need to read the last book right NOW..
Also Fox better be okay. I swear I think I would cry if anything happened to him.. aahhhhh
