Review on Goodreads

To survivors:


The main attribute of this book: the fire!

When I think of Remy and Brook, it's the only thing that's crossing my mind.



But when it comes to the fire, there certainly have to be flames.

And when it comes to them, the flames are the twin flames.

"When twin flames are together, their love for each other is evident and other people are able to notice immediately. There is also a very familiar tendancy of the partners to complete each others sentenses, read each others minds and think alike, tending to be mirror images of each other due to the striking similarities. Behaviour changes have also been noted among twin flames; previous detrimental habits of one partner like smoking or alcohol abuse may change and are set aside as they no longer feel desirable as before, you change for the better. Giving without ever expecting anything in return is also a key feature of a twin flame relationship"

He's a fighter and she's a survivor

They both are a little broken inside but Remington is so much more.

I'm not sure which one of his 'personalities' I like the most.

Is it the blue-eyed gentle yet still cocky



or the black-eyed cocky and insatiable one?



She calls him 'her lion', yet I'd ratter call him a wolf- sometimes in sheep's clothing. And just because they use songs to express themselves, I'm going to do the same to describe the way I see them through Remy's eyes...

"Wolf Like Me" by Tv On The Radio

Say say my playmate
wont you lay hands on me
mirror my malady
transfer my tragedy

Got a curse I cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
when the moon is round and full
gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish

My mind's aflame

We could jet in a stolen car
but I bet we wouldn't get too far
before the transformation takes
and bloodlust tanks and
crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it

My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it

Charge me your day rate
ill turn you out in kind
when the moon is round and full
gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your
mongrel mind
baby doll I recognize
you're a hideous thing inside
if ever there were a lucky kind it's
you you you you

I know its strange another way to get to know you
you'll never know unless we go so let me show you
I know its strange another way to get to know you
we've got till noon here comes the moon
so let it show you
show you now

Dream me oh dreamer
down to the floor
open my hands and let them
weave onto yours

Feel me, completer
down to my core
open my heart and let it
bleed onto yours

Feeding on fever
down all fours
show you what all that
howl is for

Hey hey my playmate
let me lay waste to thee
burned down their hanging trees
it's hot here hot here hot here hot here

Got a curse we cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
there's a cure comes with a kiss
the bite that binds the gift that gives

now that we got gone for good
writhing under your riding hood
tell your gra'ma and your mama too
it's true
we're howling forever






"River Below" by Billy Tallent

Rejected...since day one
My name is...bastard son
I've been damned...so many times I've lost count!
Blue collar...working man
Devises...masterplan
Bi-polar...with a mental side arm

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Contraption...made up of
Nuts and bolts...creates the
New monster...to burn your family tree down!
Tick-tocking...times up now
Split second...the world frowns
Lonely heart...never had nobody!

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below
Into the river below

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Yeah I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
But you'll all know my name
And you'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
But you'll think I'm insane

As I've mentioned, this man is a little broken inside and certainly complicated but together they make him and I'd say them both whole once again.


The belief they share is to live their lives the way they are



And it's not crazy



Just live your life and
