The Prince (The Original Sinners, #3)
The Prince (The Original Sinners, #3) by Tiffany Reisz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, that one ended on a cliff-hanger. Glad the next book has been published already.
I enjoyed the mix between present and past, between Nora & Wesley and Kingsley & Soren. The twist at the end I didn't see coming.
And since I'm itching for the next book, I'll leave it at that.
Quote time:
"He was fluent in nineteen modern languages, five ancient languages, and the one true universal language-pain."
*****
"He wished that the mathematics of the world were like the mathematics of the heart - then his equal love and hate would mean he felt nothing instead of double."
*****
"I would have been an atheist but for you proving to me that both heaven and hell were real, even if they existed only when I was with you."
****
"Wesley looked down at her and Nora could barely meet his brown eyes, which bored into her with the fiery love of a guardian angel. God probably had eyes like Wesley's ... anyone who looked into them wanted to immediately apologize for any and all sins ever committed."
*****
"God, how he loved Søren. Loved him. Loved him like a father, like a brother, like a friend and a lover... and loved him like the enemy that forced him to be stronger, smarter, wiser, braver. Søren had become everything to him."
*****
"You can break me again."
"I can’t break you." Søren shook his head. "I never could. Your body, yes. But there is a core inside you that I could never touch, never reach, never break. It’s the part of you that was never afraid of me."
*****
"As a child... I didn’t understand, couldn’t understand. I thought I’d been born broken."
"Broken?" Kingsley could hardly believe his ears. "When I saw you the first time, I felt... healed. If you are broken, then I only pray someday I break too."
*****
"I have nothing in me that you cannot break. I would let you destroy me, and then I would resurrect myself from my own ashes for the honor of being destroyed by you again."
*****
"He had to be a hero for her. He wished the world still had dragons so he had something to slay for her."
*****
"Wesley rolled onto his back and Nora collapsed onto his chest. He let out a puff of air as she scrambled into position. "Are you made of lead?"
"I'm solid muscle and evil. Stop bitching and cuddle me."
*****
"This is your world, kid. Not mine. You know I don’t belong here."
"You once told me you loved it down south."
"I was talking about anal sex."
"Of course you were."
