The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
Richard “Gansey” • Blue • Adam • Ronan • Noah…♾️.
….
“Some secrets only gave themselves up to those who’d proven themselves worthy.”
….
Enchanted forests. Magical energy. A curse. Polar opposites. Ghosts. Legends. A family. Whatever I write here will not make any sense. If I start telling you about the set up mood in this book, I won’t be able to stop. But my thrown words will be not understandable. I can’t describe it with words, it’s all so vivid in my head but I lack words. You want to know how a character(s) development looks like? I feel this whole world will be the epitome of that and so, so much more. Am I jumping straight into “The Dream Thieves”, sure am.
Blue - smart, mystical;
Gansey - the beating heart;
Adam - determined, so brave, I want someone to love him (that someone can (has to) be ⬇️.)
Ronan ♾️ - complex, loyal to a fault but he might just have the most vulnerable heart, an enigma, my broken boy (and…⬆️.)
Noah - protect at all cost.

Disclaimer: as I am reading these books in my native language the translation from PL version might not be one to one with the ENG version as I have been translating it by myself for my own purposes:
“…that is, the prophecies told the truth, but not the whole truth.” // “This year you will fall in love.” // “It was all Henrietta sunset: hot front-porch swings and cold iced-tea glasses, cicadas louder than your thoughts.” // “Chainsaw.” // “I've never taken anything from you, Blue. But I'm asking you now. Stay away from them.” // “I would take you everywhere with me. Everyone.” // “She recognized this strange happiness that comes from love for something not necessarily specific, this strange happiness that is sometimes so limitless that it can be confused with sadness. Blue felt the same way when she looked at the stars.” // “Without a word, Ronan got out of the car, slamming the door.” // “This apartment is haunted.” // “He carefully sat cross-legged next to Adam and sighed heavily, as if he had been a part of their conversation up to this point and it had exhausted him…” // “…but to Blue he had never seemed so gentle. It was as if the raven was his heart, which he held exposed in his hand.” // “Only people who have too poor a a vocabulary to whisper, shout.” // “I prefer it when you're like this…” // “We are still doing it together, only that when I come back, we will be equal.” // “…on my terms or not at all.” …

If you ever want to, you can choose me.” // “…kissing him like I’m a plant going through fucking photosynthesis and he’s my sunlight.” // "Well, that's silly. Pay better attention." // "I wanna draw you.” // I feel like it’s at least 100.” …

Caleb (Fitz) • Owen…(!!!)

“Thought you don’t know me.” - “I don’t. But I know me when I’m around you, and I like that version of myself an awful lot.”
.
“And you’re worth being terrified for.”
.
“Okay.”
….
I didn’t sleep because of this book, I wanted to know what would happen next, each chapter was the last one but I just couldn’t put it down. I am owned. My ass is owned. How the intimacy between the two characters was written. The whole story as a whole. Just.
Owned. Owned. Owned.
10000000/10. Big notes. Big, big notes.
….
“I can’t help but feel angry towards the stranger for stealing the sound away from me.” // “No kissing.” // “I don’t give up on anyone. Even if they are a little lost.” // “The annoying, infuriating, beautiful asshole probably tastes like fucking candy canes. And I want to devour him.” // “…his eyes searching mine for… something. I wish he’d tell me what. I’d give it to him. I think maybe I’d give anything to him.” // “I wonder if this is it. If he’s it. If maybe, after 6 years, I’ve finally found someone worth kissing.” // “Still… I stay.” // “Would you be able to say no to me, Fitz?” // “I’m afraid he’s the one. The one everyone kept promising would come one day.” // “Go home, Caleb.” // “For a long time, I do nothing but monitor the steady rise and fall of his breathing.” // “Yeah, O. I promise.” …

Forbidden Puckboy by Eden Finley, Saxon James
4.0
Knox • Easton
….
“…there’s only one thing worse than your dream man being nothing like you thought he would be. And that’s your dream man being everything you imagined.”
….
Let this series never end. I think at this point everyone can find a favorite pair of their own. Was Knox and Easton mine? In all honesty, no. I still have my strong untouched top three. But this edition gave me perspective that not everything is earned easily, sometimes you have to fight for it, compromise and you can’t achieve anything if you don’t speak out. These two had a long way to go, with a lot of obstacles, words to use but true love concurred it all in the end spiced with a lot of determination.
I love how this series focuses not only on the romantic aspects but also family and friendships. To be a fly during a Collective meet-up. And I really, really, really want Lachie’s book - like a siren calling…
….
“It’s the fairer-haired guys with the sexy freckles that make me weak in the knees.” // “I’m way out of your league.” // “I dunno, I’m pretty good at helping men find God. You’d know that if you weren’t somehow immune to all my offers.” // “You deserve a good one.” // “A watermelon ring sucker. Don’t start thinking you’re worth actual gold.” - “I bet twelve-year-old Easton thought I was worth gold. All the gold.” // “And you don’t see… how that makes it so much worse?” // “I’m trembling out of my skin.” // “A step back.” // “Relationships are work. They’re not flowers and true love’s kiss and the fantasy of a happily ever after.” // “I always thought of them as mine, you know?” // “That’s real love. The kind that can get through anything.” …

Dirty Martini by Addison Beck
5.0
Rhys • Everest
….
“This means nothing.” - “Nothing.”
….
There is something about these Addison’s boys. I swear it. Every single time. Dirty Martini is the perfect set up for a new series that I can’t wait to experience as a guilty pleasure in all its fullness. Let’s see which drink will become my favorite on the XO menu. Elton and baby boy Knox are setting the bar up high and are up next. But when I tell you, the tension with Rhys and Eve ? You feel it. The tit for tat? It’s given. The war between? All is fair. The fear? Tamed. The forgiveness? Given voice. The vulnerability? Both sided. The intimacy? Fusilladed. The love? Unconditional.
Dirty martini proportions:
2 1/2 ounces of passion
1/2 ounce of hurt
1/2 ounce of deep affection
Garnish: sit tight and give me that cake, cake, cake.
….
Artemas- i love you regardless
….
“Loud yet quiet like a whisper.” // “That damn affection I used to feel for him threatens to come up when our eyes meet and his cheeks turn that pretty pink they used to.” // “…he has to know that the bad blood between us runs thick.” // “…and I swear, if he touches him one more time—“ // “Straight into the trouble I know he is.” // “It tastes a little like fuck you, Rhys.” // “You have no idea what you’ve done.” // “…but he initiated a challenge. Watch me. Want me.” // “The incredible sensation of commanding someone’s attention, of breaking down their walls, of exposing them…” // “You’d let me, wouldn’t you?” // “Thank you for the reminder.” // “You’re coming home tonight.” // “He’s playing the game so beautifully, and I’m too weak to resist.” // “Call me your baby…” // “I trusted that bashful guy to know he could turn to me for anything.” // “Because he’s still holding my hand.” // “…but if he keeps on drawing me in, I’ll become his too.” // “I like your laugh.” // “…and the way my whispered name leaves his lips when I kiss his cheek.” // “You take up all the space.” // “Because Everest was mine to hate and now he’s mine to keep…” …

“…it was okay, that nobody here was afraid to die, not really. Hell, dying was easy. Being left behind, having to live with everything they were seeing—and doing— That was the really scary part.”

“The thing is, that picture’s changed a bit, though.” - “How?” - “Because you’re in it now.”

You know when you feel that something shifted, something changed your course. This book was that. I am leaving my heart beside it.

“It’s all the frustration, irritation, and annoyance I’d felt when he first moved in. It’s all the pain and loneliness he’s expressed to me. It’s all the tiny, seemingly insignificant moments we’ve shared up ‘til now. It’s everything we are.”
.
“There is no choice. It will always be Kason.”
….
I will never admit how many times this book made me tear up;
Blue Gatorade;
Hayes is me;
Connection; Communication; Care;
“Felt myself slipping past the point of no return every time you smiled at me.”;
Kason and Hayes superiority;
Growth;
We all can’t wait for Theo and Madden now, the snippets;
Interactions old vs new, this one had it all (🖤.);
I don’t know how Chelsea does it. But I think it just comes down to the point of what kind of person an author is, the people an author surrounds herself with, because Chelsea writes characters I wish to have on my side. How grounded they all are. I don’t believe in perfection. But I believe in something being real. Here, we always get what is real;
All the love Chelsea.

Unintentionally.” // “The chemistry between us is as electric as it is sudden; a lightning strike I never expected to hit. Yet, now that it’s here, I can’t ignore it, and I most certainly can’t will it away. Truth be told, I don’t want to.” // “We’re a lot more alike than you’d care to admit…” // “That doesn’t mean I would go down without a fight. Have you met me?” // “And with you, it will.” // “That I have no idea what I’m doing, so why don’t you stop asking me questions and just fucking teach me?” // “I think you missed a spot.” // “No, I felt it, too.” // “…it’s because it’s as fun as it is sensual. We can laugh and smile and not take ourselves too seriously.” // “…I sure do now.” // “But now…I want all those days back.” // “I couldn’t be the reason someone missed out on their dreams all over again.” // “…Who has only ever wanted from me is my time. My attention. My love. And if I have it my way, he’ll never have to want those things again, because they’ll already be his. I will be his. Always.” // “But I told you the day you asked for a fair catch…” …
