He Was Both:)

"She'd been too busy trying not to die to think about dating or even hooking up. Darlington had nothing to do with it, no matter how good he looked with his clothes off."

Did I already know this? Yes.

Was I expecting Alex to constantly remind us how beautiful Darlington is? Absolutely not.

Seriously. We've known since book 1 how much she missed and needed him, but man, I was so not expecting Alex to be so direct about how much she wanted him and how special he was to her. I expected more denial tbh. Glad to have been wrong

I need to be alone for a few hours every day, otherwise I start to spiral. but if I'm alone for too long, I also start to spiral. pretty easy, right?

I’m such a lover girl (girl who’s yet to experience the love she’s yearned for her whole life)

I am here to announce (again) that Turkish dramas have taken over my life.

Is it weird that his furious expression makes it even hotter for me? Do I have issues? (Don't answer that)

Truly. Bless this show.

"But what was Darlington to Alex? A mentor? A protector? An ally? None of those words seemed sufficient. Had some soft-boiled part of her fallen for the golden boy of Lethe? Or was this something less easily named than love or desire?"

Okay listen. The first glowstick mention was indeed like a slap to the face (loved it tho), but was anybody really taken ABACK when fucking VAMPIRES came uppp?????

I just finished reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and I just cannot get over Luc’s running gag of subtly announcing to the world he is a forest spirit. Like his surnames of Dubois and Wald (both meaning of the forest/forest in their respective languages) and the fallen angel themes and forest mask in his speakeasy. Luc is so confident, clever, and subtle all at the same time. We cannot help but stan.
