“I don’t bother asking God to forgive me. Nothing will ever wipe away this stain.”
"You're playing a dangerous game."
"Toying with me, little lamb."Delilah is officially trapped in The Cloister. Although she has found comfort in the arms of Adam, her protector, she has lost all semblance of direction. The Prophet's power continues to intensify and with every passing second, Delilah is destined to meet her demise. Adam is desperate to keep Delilah and get her out but even he cannot find his way through the dark.
She calms the storm that constantly rages inside me with nothing more than her presence and a softly whispered “hi.”
We’re damned, all of us.
1. Did any of the girls successfully escape The Cloister?
2. What would be the consequence of Delilah's escape attempt?
3. Would Adam show Delilah that he could be trusted?
4. Would these two characters finally realize that they were on the same side?
5. Would Delilah confide in Adam?
6. Will Grace die? LOL
“She will be punished and cleansed until a serpent no longer dwells in her heart.”
“The water can’t wash away my sins. Not this one, especially.”
“I’m sorry,” he whispers again and releases his hold on my mouth. I kiss him through my tears and wrap my arms around his neck.”
For once in my life, I actually bow my head in prayer and send a request so full of vengeance and retribution that I have no doubt heaven redirects it to a far hotter place.
She sighs against my ear, an angel’s breath warming her demon.
I don't have to tell her I love her. She'll know when the Prophet's blood covers my hands.Adam continues to struggle with his role at Heavenly Ministries. He doesn't want to further his dad's delusional plans but he's reluctant to step out of line for fear of harm coming to his loved ones. By the time this book was over I had some very strong feelings about Adam's lack of action.
Some parts of me—the worst—are the only ones I ever let show.This one definitely had a good twist and I enjoyed the addition of Evan, he was an interesting character and I enjoyed his brand of crazy. I felt like we were more bystanders in this one rather than fully enveloped in it, I think it would have felt more inclusive if we'd been able to experience more with Delilah and Adam rather than a retelling of what happened. I'm interested to see how the series wraps up but it feels like I'm still waiting for something from Delilah and Adam, but I'm not sure what exactly.
