“Your choices define you, Amelie. Make thoughtful ones.”

Despite the fact that Amelie's life got hijacked by demonbloods and flushed down the Immortal toilet, she makes do pretty well, I must tell.
Not that I expected any less. She's just plain hilarious, no-matter-what kinda girl. If we all inherited her easy-going, snarky personality, life would be a puffy cloud-pillow where we could see the rainbow-unicorn from the first row. I'd totally ride a unicorn.

I can 100 % relate to her caffeine-addiction, by the way. What would I do if I knew it's my last day on Earth? Bumm! Drink coffee. I doubt she would act otherwise.

“Ami, you’ve violated seven, possibly eight levels of Guardian trainee protocols tonight, and you want to know how it’s goin’?”
“I was being conversational.”
Jack looked annoyed. “Are you aware of the punishment for this?”
“Death by coffee?” I said optimistically.

We get back to point zero because of an unfulfilled prophecy, a forbidden Lucifer-Gabriel bonding and a war against Crossworld-demons. Same old same old. I feel like we got stucked by a log in the fast-running stream. Not moving forward. And I must tell, I miss Jack a lot. Where's he anyway? He and Amelie is a collateral package aka they can't exist without each other. I'm not consoled entirely by Luc, the smoking-hot downworld-vampire-playboy. How can I love none other than Jack who knits a scarf and a matching barret for her bond-girlfriend? Hot in so many ways.

I. Want. Him. Back. *rampageous maniac alert*

"Maybe I had a choice right? Even when the options suck and it seems like nothing fits, there’s always a choice there.
Live or die.
Fight or flee.
Pancakes or omelets."

As for Amelie and Luc, I don't see the point of a love triangle no matter how much I love triangles, which are incidentally the perfection of love geometry. She's bonded with Jack from the beginning which is pretty much sacred for me. Period. And I don't believe in switching sides. It's sort of a road leading to a ginarmous-nowhere.

“If you’re here to kill me, make it fast. I won’t fight you,” I said.
“We’re not there quite yet,” he replied. “First comes the psychological torture.”
I peeked out from my pillow. “Nicholas Sparks movie marathon?”
“I’m not that cruel.”
“Says the diabolical overlord.”

Oh and what is it with Lisa? She's not other than an evil-doer sister who has tried to kill Jack. Sisters don't do that! She cannot make it up to me unless she lives forever, which I doubt. Just because she's justified her actions in front of Amelie, I have to be reborn to befriend her. And even then, I would ensnare her boyfriend, Alec. A guy with crossbow? Give him to me. He will be in good hands.

“Sometimes life is figuring out what you can live with then letting go of the rest."

The prophecy became fulfilled, an entire magical world ceded to exist and Jack has lost his memories. They've been through a rough day. Cruel twist of faith. In contempt of such events, Amelie doesn't lack further edgy comments and mortal optimism. They all happily lived and loved ever after....lucky bastards.

“I love you,” I said. “More than oxygen and coffee and chocolate, and even more than my favorite glyph-engraved throwing knives. Don’t forget that. Okay?”

Setbacks

I miss my fiery-Jack-passion-portion from the Prophecy Girl. No offense Luc. The vamp-vibe didn't work here. My bad.

"Just remember, dear, life is suffering. Love, even more so.”

I can't take Amelie very seriously, which is okay as it is. No offense. Her spontaneous, flippant, above-the-law attitude makes the story smooth and enjoyable despite the dark forces that are lurking behind the scenes. If you'd like to be naughty and put some lonely goats on the roof of your old school, you're knocking at the right door. I would be definitely her friend, hence my life would never turn dull and empty. She's one of the heroines who speaks from the heart, no matter what. It's always refreshing when the truth is released in the and when no bullshit is dumped on your neck.

"Amelie Bennett, you’re the most annoying girl on the planet. You make me want to throw myself off a bridge. And, unfortunately, I am one hundred percent, head-over-heels, crazy in love with you. There. Satisfied?”

Jack is definitely my book boyfriend. I'm always into guys who put the girl's needs before his. In this case, he's willing to sacrifice himself in order to save her. And it is true vice versa. Although I can give him some paternal slaps in the face when he seemed to be indifferent to Amelie. He's technically made me swooning and drooling because that's what all forbidden loves do to me. The little sneaky bastards.

“I felt my heart expanding, making room for him to movie in permanently.”

Lisa, you pretty little liar, I can't believe her. Not only did she stab Amelie in the back but literally spat her in the face! Not very nice of a sister, I tell you. North Witch is a piece of pie compared to her. While Toto returned to Dorothy, Amelie's old life is lost forever. What's more, she has to cope with the consequences of her Wraithmaker actions. That she's become a vampire fledgling. Not everyday do the people have to embrace the fact that they're bloodsucker non-garlic-eater monsters, according to Amelie at least.

"Love takes courage, sweetheart, maybe more than most people know. That’s not something a coward can handle.”

By the way, I love this bond-mate thing full of golden threads connecting Amelie and Jack everytime they touch or do other things. It kinda feels forever. That most people just dream of. The benefit is they don't have to go through a bunch of useless relationships leading to nowhere to find the One. Let's held the nuptials of the young doves! Party rock anthem.

The gods of opportunity did not knock twice.

—And even if they did, I wouldn't get my hopes up they let the soul of my love sneak back onto the world of living after once he kicked the bucket. But everything has a price in order to maintain the balance of nature. So up to now, she may have believed they will have a happy future full of raspberry jello cake with icing on top...and that's the way the cookie crumbles. The one acts like there were no tomorrow, the other moves heaven and earth for the girl. And don't forget that his kiss makes the sun explode and walls start melting. Must be a freaking spectacle.

How I feel now

I've just had the time of my life ;)
