![]() ![]() ****SPOILER**** Tess gets taken in Q’s own personal space at his headquarters, as you can imagine that doesn’t go over well with him at all, and from there on shit just goes downhill. ![]() Honestly there’s a shit load of dark stuff. Tears of Tess was pretty dark but I think this book has it beat. I really thought things were going to be just peachy in this one. You can imagine how the monster feels about that. He has the monster that’s obsessed with control and it seems Tess is making him lose it. ![]() While Tess is trying to get to him and get him to open up to her Q is fighting with his emotions. Tess and Q are together and each are fighting emotions, mainly Q. ![]() This picks up where Tears of Tess left off. There’s just so much that goes on in this book your emotions are just…everywhere. My emotions are still all over the place. I thought I’d be able to come up with something, but no. It’s been a whole week since I’ve read this and I still can’t think of a thing to say. Q may be a monster, but he’s Tess’s monster. Q made a promise to deliver them at her feet and that’s exactly what’s he’s going to do. Tess wants the bastards that sold her to pay. Quest review time! Say hi to my baby sister, LaRae! I’ll have some info up about her in the About Me section soon, but for the time being, we have similar tastes in books and I’m dying to read this one…even more so now! I hope you guys enjoy! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Urn:oclc:60047510 Scandate 20110107080851 Scanner .

Through the day, the different animals gallop, chew, have fun, snack, and fly, until dusk, when Puppy puts them all to bed. There’s a two line rhyme, which is well-supported by the visuals – great for lower levels. Inside, each double-page spread shows a group of farm and wild animals, speaking in their language.
