I’m on BookTube now! =)

I almost forgot how much I loved the Montague siblings. XD
Adrian is such a great addition to the family and his anxiety rep felt so tangible and real. Poor boy, though. At first Monty didn’t make it easy for him, but I kinda lived and breathed for the developing family bonds. <33

Full RTC soon! Might take a little while since the Easter holidays are coming up. ;-)

Well, I already said it all in 2019 when I found out this book exists.
So I've nothing to add except of: I'll be reading this now and I'm so ready!
Let's see if it will live up to my expectations! *lol*

THERE IS A THIRD SIBLING NAMED ADRIAN?!!!??
Oh, wait! Is this the little baby brother that was mentioned in the first book (the Gremlin?)?!

- Revived sibling relationships
- Monty & Felicity (not to mention Percy)
- The Caribbean (Barbados & New Orleans)
- grief and mental breakdown rep

Take.
All.

9.31% ""Take a breath."
"I can't."
"Goddammit, stop that!" He slams his hand against the desk, so hard that the inkwell jumps in its stand.


Thanks for the reminder that Monty's and Felicity's father is a horrible person. Poor Adrian obviously had to suffer too. >_<"

17.59% ""I will write," I say, raising our cupped hands to my mouth to kiss the words onto her knuckles, "a declaration in support of the silk weavers' riots, and that stricter tariffs on foreign-made cloth are necessary to combat the growing overseas competition and maintain workers' rights amid industrialization."
"God, you have no idea how attracted I am to you right now."


*LOL* I love their relationship! XD"

26.72% ""No one told me!" I say. "No one has ever said a word about you! Just because you're an ass who never gave a fig about me, doesn't mean I am too."

Well, that went well. >_< I really hope Monty will get nicer to Adrian once he realizes that he really had no idea he existed. How cruel could his father and mother be? Keeping his siblings such a secret. Poor Adrian."

37.07% ""God. Liberal political pamphlets." He looks me up and down with that same sly smile as before, but this time it feels like I'm in on the joke. "I didn't think you'de be a hellion." He leans backward against the hatch, letting his hat fall over his face once more. "Careful," he says from beneath it, "or I might start liking you after all."

Let's hope those two will bond during the book. Poor Adrian. XD"

46.55% "Monty grabs me and lowers me down until we are both kneeling on the deck. "It's all right," I hear him say, once hand under my elbow, the other still cupped around my neck. My face is against his shoulder and I can't stop shaking. "It's all right, you're all right."

Okay, that chapter was intense! Also yay! Monty and Adrian are finally bonding. As it seems life isn't inclined to give them a break, though. >_<"

55.69% ""Oh. Yes." I brush my face self-consciously, but she smiles and I realize she has the same, but on the opposite cheek. My sister and I, our faces a closed set of parentheses.

Well, as it seems Adrian is destined to have bumpy first encounters with his family. XD If he survives this journey AND his siblings he'll come back a different man. *lol*"

64.48% ""You're not insane," he says again.
"Then what's wrong with me?" I ask. "Why do I have these ... these thoughts?"


I love the brotherly bond they are forming! T_T And just in case I didn't mention it already: The anxiety disorder rep is done extremely well."

74.83% ""Felicity Primrose Montague!" I exclaim.
Monty throws back his head and laughs. Felicity rolls her eyes. "Oh good, now there are two of you."
"You're incredible," I say to her.
She looks down at her hands, color rising in her cheeks. "That's very kind, thank you."


Ahh I love those three together. They are all so different but they are each others siblings and there's so much love. T_T"
