I want to wrap my hands around that thick neck and squeeze. I doubt I’d be able to span its circumference, but I’d sure as hell try. I’m nothing if not an overachiever.

Not that there was ever any doubt, but I loved Sem. It’s perfectly batshit crazy. Maggie is perfect and matches Sem’s crazy way better than most people think, and there’s way more sides to Sem’s character than you’d think. I laughed, swooned, fanned myself, and cried. I think that’s probably a good sign.

“He’s everywhere. Everywhere! I should have never accepted that ride home from him. That was a huge mistake. I’m never going to escape him now. I’m going to be ninety years old, and Sem will be lurking around the backyard of my senior care facility.”

I don’t really have tons to say. I have the same problem here as I did with Whit: I honest to god couldn’t tell you which main character I like the most. They’re both fantastic.

Sem’s a lot of things, but I know he won’t intentionally hurt me. He can apparently irritate me to death, though.

Very mild spoiler alert: I will say, I was really disappointed when the scene where Sem bottoms for the first time was sort of fade to black. Why cut that short? I wanted the whole scene, lol.

“I’m whatever he wants me to be. And if you talk shit about him, make him feel anything other than fucking perfect, I’ll murder you both. No one will ever find the bodies. I guarantee it.”

“I’d do pretty much anything you ask, Maggie.” I reach up and press a kiss to his cheek, and the tips of his ears turn pink. Fucking adorable. This big psychopath blushing because I kissed him.

“Life isn’t worth living unless you’ve ended up in jail at least once for doing something fun.” “That’s not good advice, Sem. […]”
