Beyond Those Gilded Walls by Jessica S. Taylor
4.5
“Perhaps it’s more knowing the bloody handprint around your neck is mine, but whatever it is, I quite like it.”
4.5 stars
“You taste like mine.”
What an atmospheric, spooky read, perfect if you’re looking for Fall/Halloween vibes! What a great time of year to read this lol
“Don’t. Do not say my name like that, my wolf.”
“Why not?”
“It makes me want to find out how you taste, with your thighs wrapped around my head.”
Okay, this was really great. I was worried about Odyssa in the beginning, thinking that she’d be this pushover character, but man, I was wrong! She had a great backbone, stood up for herself, and I was living for it! Aside from her brothers, but oh no
“You deserve something good in your life. You deserve someone who thinks you worthy without you having to do a godsdamned thing for them.”
I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM OR HER MOTHER. Are you kidding me!? Literally, the end was perfect for me about them 😂#oops but yeah, her strength and determination was great. I mean, it was super sad, since she basically had no regard for her life, she was living for her piece of shit family, but still great.
“You’re not used to being wanted. To being loved. It’s quite alright, my wolf. We will teach you.”
Ghosty cat, you are my fav, we all need a ghost cat to protect us in this world.
“I think you’ll find you belong in the darkness more than you might think. You survived me; you survived death.
I also really appreciate the disability rep in this (hearing and lung issues) because I have these too AND I completely love what happened in the end with her disabilities, that was *perfect* Read it to find out 😂
The marks on his forearm, the ones that spiraled up his arm and spilled down onto his chest, shifted, pulling away from the skin and reaching out to caress my cheek.
Tallon. My beautiful bad guy. But not as bad as the Prince obviously, that man, that whole family, was psychotic. With his masks, tattoos, shadows 😏, bloody hand necklaces, protectiveness, yes, I *quite* liked him. And the reveal was *unexpected* but I really liked it! So, look forward to that when you read this lmao
Thank you Jessica for this eARC, a cute box of merch, a t-shirt, and a finished copy! Lmao, that sounds like a lot, and it is, I love her(!) but I am on her content creation and ARC team for full disclosure😂
“Now you are the darkness. And no one will ever harm you again.” He leaned down, brushing his lips against my ear. “You have never looked more stunning than now, my wolf. I cannot decide if I want to show you off across Veressia and the Beyond, or if I want to lock you in my room and never leave.”
