Soren really needed to stop being so goddamn understanding about everything. It confused Tobias. It tricked his brain into releasing chemicals that told him he had feelings for Soren and that was just unacceptable.

It’s kinda funny when the relationship between a semi-retired assassin and a sociopathic psychologist killer feels healthier than 9/10 other contemporary romance relationships with ‘normal’ people, lol. I really liked these two together. You’d think they’d be hella dysfunctional, but nope.

Tobias gave me John Wick vibes. He’s not at Wick-levels of badass, but he would do freaking anything for his dog. Love a good pet parent.

“You never stood a chance, did you, Toby?” Tobias bristled. “How so?” “Serial killer father, narcissistic mother. Not allowed to feel, not allowed to heal. Teaching yourself that the only acceptable way to exist was to be anybody but yourself.”

I read book 1 in this series forever ago but my gosh I was not looking forward to book 2 after meeting Madigan, so I kept putting it off. Then I remembered that I always read out of order and I could just skip it and read book 3 instead
