📍“Sleep, princess. No one will ever hvrt you again. Not even me.”

📍“Even when you h*ted me, I loved you. Even when I thought I h*ted you, I loved you more.”

I’ve been trying to come up with words to review this book. To tell Bella Matthews how my heart feels now that I’ve found her books. To tell her how upset I am at myself for not finding them sooner. To explain how I consumed and was consumed by Lilah and Killian. How knowing broke me too. How I fell for them. 

I’ve been trying and failing to put down on paper all the feelings I have now that I’ve finished Captivating. Everything is… not enough. I have so many of them and the words… feel so little. 

So, maybe I won’t. I will just love this book with no expiration date. I will just hold it and smile. I will just go down memory lane when missing them gets too much. And I’ll just get Bella’s entire backlog immediately. 

Thank you. 

For Captivating. 
For Lilah. 
For Killian.
For the heartbreak. 
For the HEA. 
For this ARC. 
For this book mail. (Isn’t it perfect?! 🥹)
