→ ☆ "we women could be called creatures, if only the men who said such careless words accepted our claws were fearsome things when we decided to scratch."
oh my god, i missed audrey rose and thomas so much.
this book was thoroughly enjoyable! i read the previous books over a year ago and i truly didn’t realize how much i missed this series. that being said, i do have a couple minor complaints.
→ ☆ "sometimes we choose not to see things we know are true, simply because we wish to keep the fantasy of what could have been alive."
like always, i really enjoyed the mystery!! i took an educated guess on who the murderer was in the beginning of the book and i ended up being correct! everything about the plot was entertaining and captivating, but the pacing was a bit off for me. it felt too slow, especially towards the middle of the book. other than that, i have no complaints with the plot!
→ ☆ "be cautious with who you give your heart to. and be even more wary of those who seek to steal it."
audrey rose wadsworth. she is such a talented, brilliant character. was she driving me a little mad with her interest towards a new character despite thomas cresswell standing right there? yes. and do i wish that she didn’t keep so much from him? absolutely. but she’s so strong and ambitious, yet kind and compassionate. she knows her worth and doesn’t let people push her around. i love reading about her so much!!
thomas cresswell deserves the world. he is absolutely one of my favorite male characters. he’s so genuine and respectful which is incredibly hard to find in most mmc’s. i love his personality so much, his determination and sarcasm. thomas deserves everlasting happiness <3
→ ☆ "you have my heart wholly, wadsworth. no matter what. the only way that will be taken is in death. and even then i will fight with every piece of me to hold your love near. now and forevermore.""
cressworth. they have my heart. while their relationship wasn’t as prominent in this book (something i wish we could’ve gotten more of), everything about them was still perfect. their chemistry and banter: immaculate. i love how respectful thomas is, how he’s constantly reassuring audrey rose that he will never stop her from following who/what she loves, but his love for her will never cease to exist. they are truly perfect and i hope someday i’ll find the thomas to my audrey rose.
since i’m on vacation right now, i don’t have my copy of capturing the devil with me, but i intend to start it when i get home!! i highly encourage everyone to read this series!
→ ☆ "i love you…more than all the stars in the universe. in this life and ever after. i love you."
