Alive Book Review Novels & Stories

“Castor, you truly are the best.” “Are Oreos one of your cravings?” Christian asks. “I don’t have any cravings.” “Oreos and coffee are Livie’s guilty pleasures.” Castor sounds tired and I take him in again and notice the dark circles under his eyes and his disheveled appearance. “Castor sit down and eat some with me.

Well, he looks like one to me. Rebel is my only boy best friend. He's my pain absorber and adviser. Rebel and Ave are my only friends. I don't need another one. I'm already contended to have them as my friend. "You really need someone who'll tell you what living and being alive is."

"Do you know the password?" I sighed and rubbed my temples. "No, that's what I've been trying to find out. It has something to do with the inscription my mom left me in this book…but I can't figure it out for the life of me." Simon set the laptop back down on my bed and grabbed the book instead, reading it's words out loud. "To Alice: Life is beautiful, precious, and worthy of awe." His eyes then turned to me.

To look forward to living when I'd been so hellbent on dying. Knowing that you'd lived past the day you thought you were going to be dead is an odd feeling. It doesn't feel so much like borrowed time but a rebirth.

His arms wrapped around me, and for a few minutes I was neither a Guardian, nor the daughter of a dead man, nor a pawn in a judicial reform, nor the key to a ritual. I was a tired woman in the arms of the man who loved her. That was enough. Until Liv walked in without knocking and stopped short when she saw us. “I’m sorry,” she said, though she didn’t sound truly remorseful. “But you have to see this.” Arsel tensed.

He was badly injured in every way possible. He'd genuinely thought he was about to die, but something unusual happened. All of a sudden, a strange warmth flowed through his meridians and swiftly repaired all of his internal injuries. In just one minute, he could tell that most of his pain was gone. Even his broken shoulder blades were slowly healing. "What's going on?" Cassian was full of questions himself. When he finally stood up, he realized that everyone in the event hall was looking at him. Clearing his throat, Cassian looked at Cain and said, "Those trashy novels got something right. Out of two brothers in a distinguished family, one is bound to be a genius and the other a complete and

Her hands then reached for my body but before it did, she was yanked away from me. "I never really liked it when other people touch what's mine without my permission." Psyche's voice was still up beat and she was still smiling so sweet, but there was a hint of danger in her demeanor. "Who do you think you are? Freakshow!" Heather screamed at her but she was still smiling. "Oh, weren't you listening before? I'm Hana, Psyche Johana Montez.

Sebastian's mother was imprisoned because of what happened to Mom, and he was banned from joining Hamilton Corporation. Even so, he never lacked food, clothing, or luxuries.
