RHAPSODIC (THE BARGAINER SERIES 1)
Wow, that’s one way to start a book. 😳
“That is one dead man” 🤣 then he goes on to say he’s not quite dead and it reminds me of The Princess Bride. 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Awww he doesn’t deal with minors. Good to know he has at least one line he won’t cross. Awww and then he does it for her anyway.
I get the feeling he knows something about her. Besides the fact that she’s part Siren.
322 unpaid favors! 😳😳😳 What the hell did she ask him for?!
“One day I won’t give you a choice.” Oooooo, ominous, foreshadowing. I like it. I also get the feeling that he won’t give her a choice because he already knows what he needs her for.
🤣 traded a bead for sobriety. I mean if she drinks in moderation I bet she’d be fine.
🤣 see, he even admitted it himself.
Okay, if she hadn’t already dumped Eli’s ass this is where I’d be screaming for her to do it. Awww he rescued her.🥰
Interesting. Okay, so she’s asked him for 322 favors, but he can pick and choose how many beads a favor costs and how many beads he cashes in for what he asks her to do. So my question right now is, did he choose to give her a bead for every little thing he did for her on purpose so he had a lot to cash in later on? Because she even mentions that he normally doesn’t let anyone get more than like 3 or 4 and she has an obscene amount more than that. Did he have an alternative motive for allowing her to collect so many beads?
It sounds like they hung out a lot during her first year at the academy, haven’t quite gotten to when things ended, but she wracked up her 322 beads in a year if I’m understanding so far. And now after 7 years he’s back to collect, and I get the feeling the first few were just to warm up and that the big ask, at least one is going to be to help him solve what’s happening in his kingdom.
The past makes me feel like she had a crush on him, obvious she even admits it, but it also seems like he enjoys being around her. I’m wondering why.
“Who do I have to hurt?” Awwww 🥰🥰🥰, he’s gonna bust someone’s balls for hurting her
Awwww he comforted her AND he went after the guy who abused her.
WHAT DID THE PIXIE SAY?!?!?! I NEED TO KNOW!!! Wait…they perched on the crown of her head. Is that hinting that the pixies asked if she was going to be his queen?!
Also does he call her cherub because she was a minor the first time they met? I can’t think of another explanation. At least not yet.
Thief of Souls, sounds ominous, but would explain the catatonic like state of the babies and women. At least I think it would. Only afraid of Des, but only because he’s not unstoppable yet. 🤔🤔🤔
Well that wasn’t at all creepy. So, the children are all connected. The Thief of Souls now wants Callie, and somehow she’s been taken to him? Not sure yet.
Awww he didn’t want her to stop fighting 🥰🥰❤️❤️
Okay so it was just her mind that went to the Thief of Souls. Guy with antlers is a clue for Des? Also he seems very, like VERY protective, maybe possessive of her right now. Which gets me thinking about other books I’ve read where the male acts like that when the girl is his mate. So I’m thinking they’re this worlds version of mates. I’m super glad that he reigned in his anger to make the wise decision to take her home instead of forcing her to stay.
Do Sirens have feathers? The only ones I’ve ever heard about were always in the water and feathers wouldn’t make sense. So what’s with the feathers? Unless there’s something else to her, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something even she doesn’t know since she doesn’t know who her father is.
Also Des mentions she’s been under his protection for a very long time. So even after he left her she was under his protection? He cares SOOOO MUCH!
Okay so somehow they have a deeper connection if he can sense her nightmare. Or maybe it’s because he’s the King of night and that includes dreams/nightmares. 🤔🤔🤔
Ummm, is this hundred-thou client Temper is talking about, possibly the Thief of Souls trying to get to Callie???
OH. MY. GOD. He’s too much. I don’t think I can take any more adorableness from him. He felt like his soul was ripped in two 😭😭😭, and the 7 years were a nightmare. Then the thing he has always wanted to do with her is finish the Harry Potter movies! 🥰🥰🥰 He calls her love. This whole scene just makes my heart giddy. ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
Not me imagining later on when Des will make that oath to Callie and make her his queen. 🥰🥰
Well that wasn’t creepy or anything 😅😅😳😳
Awwww he kept sketching her, wait no go back, ignore the knocking, keep looking at the sketches, nooooooo ❤️
Awww he asked her to take him to the ball 🥰🥰
How the hell did Eli find her?
Okay I don’t hate him as much now.
What’s with the nod and the staring at the wings and the I didn’t know the situation? WHAT SITUATION? WHAT DIDN’T HE KNOW?
OH. MY. GOD! How are they betrothed? Like when did that happen?
OH, OH DAMN. Not betrothed, soul mates. Does that count as me being right? And is it soul mates from his side or from both sides? Is that why she’s so comfortable with him even though he’s “scary”?
So, did he know eight years ago when he started hanging out with her that she was his soul mate? Is that WHY he did it? Because he admits that he couldn’t stay away. Why did he look horrified and in wonder after she said the binding thing? Does that have anything to do with the soul mates part?
Well, damn. If she hadn’t made that final wish maybe they would’ve gotten together sooner. Her wish and his magic kept them apart for 7 years as payment for the wish to come true even though they were already soulmates, and he knew it the whole damn time, but he didn’t want to force her. Where have I heard that before?
And just as everything is right in love land the other shoe drops. Is he the Thief of Souls or just the guy trying to get her to work for him? Des is gonna be so pissed when he finds out she’s be napped. That guy’s gonna be in big trouble.
“Fuckity fuck” Funny, that’s exactly what I was thinking. The King of Fauna is behind all of this? Really? I guess he is mad.
He is the Thief of Souls. He’s gross. I’m curious to find out why his magic either isn’t working on Callie or working differently on her
Holy shit! She’s got claws, scales, and wings now?!
Well shit. He aint gonna be in the next book.
The other women didn’t wake up. Interesting. Does that mean that the King of Fauna was only a henchman and that the big bad is still out there?
More importantly why did it take Des so long to find her? She literally had a nightmare of the antler guy who I’m assuming Des knew was the King of Fauna so why was that not the first place he went to find her? 🤔🤔🤔
