Swoon Thursday #1 Evernight


The fabulous girls over at YA Bound created this super HOT meme. Here's how it works.

From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering.

Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog!


 
My first Swoon is from Evernight by Claudia Gray
 
"You know I'm only looking out for you, right?" he whispered. I could feel his lips brushing against my forehead. "I want to keep you safe."
 
"I don't need you to protect me from danger, Lucus." I slipped my arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. "I need you to protect me from being lonely. Don't fight for me. Be with me. That's what I need."
 
He laughed, a strange, sad sound. "You need somebody to look out for you. Make sure everything's okay. I want to be that guy."
 
I lifted my face to his. We were so close that my eyelashes brushed his chin, and I could feel the warmth of body heat in the small space between our mouths. It took all my courage to say, "Lucus, all I need is you."
 
Lucus touched my cheek, then brushed his lips against mine. That first touch stole my breath, but I already knew that I wasn't afraid any longer. I was with Lucus and nothing could ever hurt me.
 
 
 
So, did Lucus steal your breath too!

  2. I really enjoyed this book, is probably my favourite of the 4 books. I cried at the end of book 3, but didn't like all of book 4!! Great series though, and her book Fateful I love the most!

  6. Ahh! Lucus he definitely has the ability to make me swoon. I really liked this series though as Naomi said book three was really sad and book four wasn't my favorite.
    Thanks for dropping by my swoon:)
