Why does this plot give such strong cressworth vibes. Like, murder on a train connected to their own mission. Literally just hunting prince dracula.
I'm not complaining tho
I'm reading Escaping From Houdini and... what the hell with Mephistopheles? I want to yell at Audrey Rose that Thomas is her soulmate and not Mephistopheles!
I mean, I love this books, but I hate love triangles and in this case it is unnecessary. I just want Thomas and Audrey Rose to get married!
Mephistopheles shook his head. “You’re quite smart, aren’t you?”
“Of course I am,” Thomas said. “Is that supposed to be insulting? Whatever will you comment on next; the golden flecks in my eyes? The sharpness of my jaw?”
"The extraordinary size of your ego?”
An impish grin slowly spread across Thomas’s face. “It’s not the only prodigious thing I can boast about."
THOMAS ILYILYILY
"'How did you know?'
'I…' Thomas swallowed hard, his attention fixed on the painting. 'The truth?'
'Please.'
'You’ve got a dress with orchid blossoms embroidered on it. Ribbons in the deepest purple. You favor the color, but not nearly as much as I find myself favoring you.' He took a deep breath. 'As to the stars? Those are what I prefer. More than medical practices and deductions. The universe is vast. A mathematical equation even I have no hope of solving. For there are no limits to the stars; their numbers are infinite. Which is precisely why I measure my love for you by them.'"
*deep breath*
I have no words.
I inhaled deeply and focused on solving mathematical equations. I thought of numerators and denominators. I conjured square roots. Anything, anything to keep from noticing my pounding heartbeat and the way she made me nervous and excited all at once.
THOMAS IS SO IN LOVE WITH AUDREY IT FUCKING H U R T S
“We’ve already lurked in London alleys, explored spider-filled castle labyrinths, survived a lethal carnival…” He brought his lips close and I tilted my face up, heart fluttering as he brushed his mouth against mine softly. His kisses were an intoxicating form of sorcery.
“Perhaps now we can try one of my suggestions? Might I offer-”
“Just kiss me, Cresswell.”
