    I was having a terrible, terrible day. Period cramps, math, and the urge to scream until everyone was dead overwhelmed me. I prayed for God to save me - and then I saw the light.
    ‘Cindy?’ I asked, my eyes welling up with tears.
    " 'Tis I," She said, and stretched her wings behind her back, 'Your Savior.’
    I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding.

    Not an abused partner but an abused child: It honestly breaks my heart when i hear people say they wish their abuser hit them. My parents hit me regularly, but let me tell you it will never feel like its enough to validate telling someone. You always end up wishing they woud hit you more or harder or in other places to validate that you are not going crazy.Abuse always starts emotionally. By the time you wish they woud hit you/ hit you harder they already control you.But its never enough to tell someone

    Cindy, it sounds like city of bones wasn’t for you, but if you’re interested I really recommend trying the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra clare.

Plus the writing is a lot better- the pacing is improved and it’s much more mature

    It’s heartbreaking to realise that so many victims of toxic partners wished they would be physically abused so that they could find the courage to leave the relationship. I thought I was the only one. I literally prayed for it. Thankfully I managed to leave him beforehand, but I recognise my luck. Toxic relationships should not be tolerated in books, especially when they target teen girls.
    If I hadn’t read Anna Todd’s “After” which romanticised emotional/verbal abuse I wouldn’t have given my ex so many chances. I kept thinking that it would be worth it at the end because my love would heal and change him. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
    And now I am the one that needs to heal.

    About the shadows: Theres a Trilogy in Germany called “Silber” (literally silver, like the metal) by Kerstin Gier which seems to have a similar premise. You have a dream, and a door in your dream that leads to a corridor. As soon as you see the door, you know you’re dreaming and can enter the corridor and others’ dreams through their doors. I read it a while back but I think it’s a good novel :) not too much of a thriller, but it gets exciting in the final part.

      I loved Silber, but I would like to add that it is very clearly aimed at teenagers and also has lots of teen angst/silliness in it. I didn‘t mind that (because I was a teen when I read it lol) but it might not be appealing to everyone...
