“i wish our story could've had another ending.”


this book WRECKED me, tore my heart out and stomped on it, shattered my heart into a million pieces, etc. i NEVER want to see this book again.


i love this book so much it hurts, let me tell you, all the ANGST?!, JEALOUSY?!?, THE TENSION?!?! ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. i will never recover from it. ITS SO OBVIOUS THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. AND THEY GET THAT ENDING?! WHAT THE FUCK STEPHANIE. i need the third book, i need to see them get they're happy ending they deserve. i also love they're banter. <3


“where were you?” she asked.
“i was killing innocent maidens and kicking puppies.”
“jacks, that’s not funny.”



AND THAT ONE SCENE THE ONE WHERE HE CALL HER LOVE?!?!?!? OH MY FUCKING GODDDD.

“it hurts, jacks.”
“i know, love. i'm going to take you somewhere safe.”



-

jacks he is manipulative, careless & cold. do i still love him regardless? yes. he is very protective of eva, he cares about her a lot but doesn't want to admit it. AND THAT THING HE DID AT THE END?! SJNSJSH

“there is nothing of equal value to me.”


evangeline is compassionate, adventurous & very naive in the first book but not so much in this one. i love her so much. sure there was times i wanted to slap some sense into her but still i love her.

“i'm yours.”


anywho, i am not okay. i'm still sobbing, stephanie is paying for my therapy.
