Fuck.
This book!
There are no words that seem adequate enough to describe how I'm feeling right now.
My eyes are swollen and burning. My nose is stuffy. My heart has been shredded and pieced back together, but there is still a couple of gaping holes that can't be repaired. I'm in love, and I'm heartbroken. I'm happy, and I'm devastated. I feel so many things at once.
If you want to know if Exodus is worth your time, the answer is HELL. FUCKING. YES. It's one of the best books of the year! Hands down! 5 stars doesn't seem like enough to give such a fantastically written story.
I originally planned to add more to this review, but I've since decided against it. You need to experience everything this story has to offer for yourself. Exodus is completely different than anything you're expecting. I promise you that.
The Ravenhood Duet is like nothing I've ever read. It blew me away, and I don't say those words often. I will never forget this story, and neither will you.
Kate Stewart, you're a motherfucking unicorn. I've read less than a handful of books in my entire life that have pulled this level of emotion out of me. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Romance fans of all kinds, this one's for you!

alexa play daddy issues by the neighbourhoodoh boy, where to fucking begin...
this was a lot different both tonally and in writing style in comparison to the first book. gonna have to agree with a lot of other reviewers here and say that loving the first book in the duet does not guarantee you will have a good time with the second book. but i am going to disagree with other readers in that i think the first book isn't pointless.
again, it's sort of hard to talk about this book without spoiling things so i am going to try and give you some answers while still remaining vague so you can decide for yourself if this is something you'd like to pick up/invest time into:
- the relationship that our heroine ends up in is definitely toxic. it's up to you to decide whether or not you can look past that.
- there's a definite teen soap, OTH feeling, to some of the "history repeats itself" stuff near the end of the book.
- i would honestly categorize this series and this book in particular as dark/suspenseful.
- the writing of this book did at times feel repetitive and a little annoying with regards to our heroine and her feelings.
- if you picked up the first book and got invested in someone in particular, you might not want to pick this up.
i realize that all sounds incredibly negative but i think i tend to guard things closely when they affect my heart. i definitely do not believe that this book or this duet is for everyone. but i enjoyed the hell out of it.
our heroine is a mess and our hero even more so. but kate was able to convince me that these two were meant for each other. and even when i got annoyed at times at the cowardice of certain characters, all of it kind of made sense at the end. i feel like this is a duet that i am going to be thinking about for a really long time. and it's definitely one that i will be revisiting certain moments of, over and over and over.

5+ STARS! 
I thought
Flock was epic and it blew my mind, but I had no idea, no clue, just how epic the conclusion to this story would be. As of now,
Exodus is the very best book I've read this year. And I have a feeling it's going to be really difficult to top! It's truly brilliant and a must read.
“It takes a queen to love and understand a king. Did you think this would break me? You made me!”
Cecelia's journey continues... One of my favorite parts of this story is watching Cecelia's growth and seeing her strength. The romance aspect was incredible, but there were so many more complexities. I felt so much for these characters and I flew through this book. It was a long one, but it didn't feel long at all. It was completely unputdownable and
I FELT SO MUCH. I'm one of those 'give me all the feels' readers, so this was honestly perfect for me.
There is so much I want to say about this book, SO MUCH, but I'm not going to because I don't want to spoil 'Flock', and going into these books blind is such an experience and it's one I don't want to ruin for anyone. These books hit me so hard. They're emotional, twisty, original, angsty, steamy, and everything I want in a book. The Ravenhood duet is of the best duets I've ever read. Kate Stewart's talented writing and passionate storytelling really shines with this one and I can't recommend it enough. My favorite Kate Stewart book (and I've read them all) and my top 2020 read.
“You left the best part out of your story.” He draws his brows and shakes his head. “Don’t.” “Us. That’s the best part. Our part.”

You told me this would get better. You promised me. You said you are going to bawl your eyes out.
Oh, I did. I did cry, wishing once again I was illiterate. I cried for being lied to, I cried because I read over 700 pages for them to mean absolutely nothing at the end. I cried because I am pissed as a consumer, I have the right to be.
This review will contain spoilers.
I started this book and I had to restart my kindle, I had to make sure I wasn't reading New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. 
Once I made sure it was the right book, I figured out what was going on. Cecelia, who you told me would GROW AS A CHARACTER!! (Bitch, where??)
She was abandoned by both dicks she was sucking at the same time because of their little gang issues, the little gang who wants to destroy everything her daddy owns.
You will hear Cecelia say: "please don't leave me", "please come back", "please don't lie to me" over 300 times. All because she got d!cked on a boat in book 1 by two men at the same time and that was the highlight of her life and she thought humiliating herself for more d!ck constantly would be her entire personality from that day on. 
Then, while she cries and waits for her 3some material to come back, fucking Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast shows up on her backyard, calls her pathetic and that is enough to make her drop her panties to the floor and start eating croissants, because not only she has unresolved daddy issues she also developed a degrading kink. 
Like everything else in this series, this relationship was not developed at all, he just showed up on her backyard and his accent was enough for Cecelia to say: I can move on from the men I was just crying about two seconds ago because the vagina wants what it wants. French D!ck.
I mean, I don't blame her, but make it make sense.
Zero development, zero effort, the most confusing storyline and the worst plot known to men, but yes Tobias is the new guy, he is also Dominic's older brother (the other guy she was fucking) and the master mind behind the plan of destroying her daddy.
Coming back to our twilight parallels, Tobias for some unknown reason breaks into her house constantly, while she is in the shower, making breakfast and they fuck seven times a day because when you don't know how to write a relationship, sex scenes will sell your book for you. We have proof right here. 
I am still in awe you managed to make this series blow up.
Every single character in this book has issues with their parents. Standard. My favorite quote in this book was the only quote that finally described this entire series and it's main character and it came from our new boy Lumiere:
"I don't blame you Cecelia. You were taught from an early age to be a fixer, to crave affection unreturned, and somehow believe it will be rewarding. Some of us don't want to know the inner workings for your mind, tell you secrets and profess our love. some of us want to fuck you until we tire of you and move on."
And that is exactly what happened in this entire book. I beg you, please learn something from this. As a woman, it is my job to tell you this is the closest thing to reality we are going to get with this ridiculous book.
This series had ONE CHARACTER, one single character who was BEARABLE. A little down to earth, remotely interesting, and Kate killed him.
I almost DNFED the book right there but I am a content creator on instagram (go follow me @entirelybonkerz I post live reactions of me shitting on books) and people were counting on my sacrifice so they would never have to waste their time the way I did with this series.
The "begging for dick", being turned down and humiliated thing repeats itself for the majority of this book. There is something else going on plot wise? It changes 300 times, her dad dies, Tobias sedates her and tattoes her against her will to brand her, her mom was the one who was really responsible for Tobia's parents death, yatta, yatta, yatta.
At the end of the book, she tries to show Cece grew up, with daddy's money she went to college, became a CEO of something?????? Started talking like she was making big shots and she was a big deal, she left that little town where she bounced on all penises after Dominic's death, because Tobias kept telling her constantly he didn't want her. She even got enganged to a rando.
Every single thing with a Dick was completely in love with her, her new lawyer, her new fiancé who she broke up with to go back to Tobias. Six years later, six long years being away from all of those guys she decided the best decision was to:
Tell her fiancé she masturbates every single day thinking about Lumiere fom Beauty and The Beast (*be our guest playing in the background*)
She goes back into town and is shocked that everyone has moved on, that Sean got married and has kids, because she is a selfish person who can't stand the fact that she is not the center of attention anymore. She humiliates herself one more time in front of every single man, and keeps begging for dick for god knows how many more pages.
I swear to god, when these men talk about her, they probably refer to her as: that one drunk chick we used to f*ck when we were high.
She sees Tobias with someone else, gets drunk, pukes in front of him, keeps begging him to tell her the truth, take her back, love her. At some point her ex-fiance comes back to confront them all and we get the most beautiful sentence of this book out of Tobia's mouth:
I'VE GOT THAT THUG DICK SHE CRAVES 
Of course, Tobia's was in fact just trying to protect her from how much he hates himself, he actually is in awe of her as a woman and as a person (totally understandable, she is a great character). At least they admit they're both sick for wanting each other so much.
For some reason, I still believe this book had a fuckboy as a ghost writer. Everything Cece "learned" they say it was because of a man, they made her, they trained her, they taught her... bla bla bla bla bla. When she throws a fit or gets angry Kate always uses the sentece: "GOING ALL GIRL ON SOMEONE" because girls are always irrational, and emotionally unbalanced right? Or maybe just this one.
Now you want me to read and review Finish Line and I want to kill you all for it, but I love you too much to say no so I guess we are doing this. My brain will turn to mush due to 500 more pages of:
PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME I WANT TO CHOKE ON YOUR DICK
CECELIA YOU ARE PATHETIC (read in frech accent) BUT HERE TAKE MY DICK

Spoilers ahead people peeeeeep
Here we go withmy rant...am just so furious about everything that happened in these two books, first big surprise it is not menagerie or reverse harem but there are multiple men that the heroine falls in love with. I don't see the necessity of the first book because it is not even about the real man that she ends up with. So we have her story with Sean and Dominic at the first book and I rooted for them so hard despite my frustration with the way the handled the secret of the brotherhood. That is why I gave it higher rating ,I really enjoyed it but the second book I hated it with passion. Dominic dies, sean gets married to another woman and the asshole she is pining for is with another woman. I felt so embarrassed for her when she meets Tessa sean’s wife and he never came for her and that was so sad .but I hated how she was the only one who was fighting for love and paying for all the things that happened in the past .i felt like the author just wanted to teach Cecelia a lesson and what ruined the fucking book for me was how easy she forgave him and took him back after everything he did, I never hated a hero as much as I hated Tobias .and Cecelia was just naive little sad girl with daddy issues and she just wanted to have this big painful love she read in the books and I felt so sad for the girl. This the end of my rant, I agree this book evoked a lot of feelings in me and I applaud the author for that , at least I know kate Stewart can write. But these two books especially the second one in the series was not my cup of tea. Adios

PAIN. 5 MILLION STARS. Tobias King is the hottest man i’ve ever seen in my life. Cecelia became the bad bitch I wanted her to be. I cried 95% of this book but I loved every second of it. All my questions were answered, all my tears were shed, and my heart has been ripped from my chest but put right back.

Remember that cliffy we all fell down in 'Flock' well this picks up right where Flock ended, we all wanted to know who this new character was that we'd all been introduced to? So buckle up and prepare yourself for one wild ride! All those secrets those boys of summer hid from our heroine and us the readers well you are going to be in for some big surprises because this author does..not...hold...back!!
Holy Crap!! I've barely slept, I look like I've been pulled through a hedge backwards and this book right here is the culprit!! OMG guys this book, this duet was
phenomenal!! No words can describe all the feelings this duet wrung out of me, just when I was leaning towards one of her summer boys I'm introduced to the real 'Frenchman' and let me tell you, he just blew all other #bookboyfriends out of the water!! Holy crap without mercy I fell hard, and fast!!
All the feels in the world, I cried, I swooned, I laughed, I sighed, and boy did I love these characters and all their flaws!! These characters, this series is forever going to leave a stamp on my heart!!
I'm so sad this duet is complete!! Such a bittersweet moment when I closed that last page even though I loved how the author wrapped it all up, I just wanted, needed more. This became an all time favourite of mine fast!!
This is a duet I would read again at leasure, a duet I would buy in paperback format, this is Kate's best work to date!! If you've not read this duet it should definitely be bumped up your pile of tbr books. Yes I know my review is vague, I've done that for a reason, you need to go in blind, you need to feel everything this duet is going to throw at you, and like me it might just end up on your favourite shelf of 2020!!

”Safety truly is an illusion,” I conclude, the rest of my blissful ignorance falling away.
He dips his head. “And the most powerful, but once you make peace with it, it’s easier taking bigger risks to seek greater rewards. But that’s no excuse to make a stupid move.”
oh yes from here n out theres gon be spoilers
before :
3+ stars idunnothe second dog & sean caught them :
none ‘There’s a scene in one of the Twilight movies where Bella remains unmoving in a chair—riddled in heartbreak—while staring out the window watching the seasons pass before her eyes. And on my balcony, as the trees shed and deaden before giving new life to fresh blooms, I realized I’d lived the past three seasons of my life much the same way she did when she was deserted by love.’
wow congratulations u have smth in common w/ the almighty bella swan
so that was the opening. her being all heartbroken and shit. i tbh had a good feeling at that time. coz this felt like the start of a great famous theme authors used when theyre about to change love interest (or not. but the books ive read, yeah)
”You’re disgusting. This air about you,” I hold up my palm and wave it. “Like you have some right to act this way, to treat me any way you want to.”
“Is this going to be a ‘do unto others’ speech? Because I guarantee you’ve fucked me enough by existing.”
“You’re ridiculous, and not at all worthy of a conversation.”
“You forget who you’re talking to.”
“Yeah, well, you can tuck your cock back in, asshole. This isn’t a pissing contest.”
“You have a disgusting mouth.”
“You’re a prick and a bastard, and my mouth and manners belong to civilized humans, not entitled sociopaths with zero compassion.”
“You’re a little girl with a filthy mouth. And if I’m not worthy of a conversation, then why are you still arguing with me?”
“Good point. Go fuck yourself,”
and u bet yo ass +0.45 point was solely for this toxicity
i honestly love it when this happen in a series. where the girl was engaged to an insta love relationship in book 1 and hated her real love interest in the next one (idk why but hate to love chemistry is always better)
’I am an addict.
I’m the pathetic girl who just can’t take a hint, the one who refuses to let go.
If I’m being honest with myself, I’ve seen it in the face of every person who looks at me now—the pity and the concern. Their withdrawal has cost me my pride, my self-respect, and the respect of the people who know me.
It’s cost me far more than any high is worth.
And it’s past time that I remember how to kick…’
oh yes, glad ure self aware. i still dont like u btw
’It’s noteworthy from his kiss that he’s high from my pain, and all I’ve done is reward him with my reaction, my angry tears. He loves my opposition, and the sadness he’s inflicting with these heavy truths—his angle to take me down, just as psychological as it is strategic.
I rip my mouth away, shaking my head, disgusted. “You’re getting off on this, you sick fuck.”
“Sadly, so are you,” he counters, possessing my mouth again in a way I can’t—don’t want to escape. And I kiss him back because my body never listens. After all, he’s right. My heart was begging for love in all the wrong places, lurching in any direction for a home. But it’s not my heart he wants. It’s my spirit he’s intent on destroying.’
man, i really do loved the first 200pgs (0 sarcasm)
His words come out in a whisper. “You are a fighter. I’ll give you that.” His lips inches away, he searches my eyes. “But you give too much for not enough. You trust too easily because you’ve been lonely your whole fucking life.”
“Says a lonely king to the lonely little girl.”
’He didn’t want to feel anything, and instead, he felt everything.
We’ve just ruined ourselves with our hate for the other.’
so in conclusion,
this was a fucking mess. the characters, story line. this author’s writing style might be the problem for me, coz i did like this toxic af couple (muchhh) more than the first book but not enough to like the book (i still skimmed. sorry. cant help it. ‘s book’s long babes. it just got boring okay dont blame me blame my attention span)
as u can see ive got no particular reason why this is a 2stars it just is bye

5 STARS
Once upon a time, I was a lonely girl who met a lonely king, and we both suffered from too much pride and oh, how the reckless have fallen.
Do you see that crazy person staring blankly at the wall while clutching a bottle of wine and babbling to herself? Great. Now mind your business because she is NOT OK. She is me. OK? Alright? I am not ok. How do you even go on after this duet? How do you read anything else after it? How do you gather the remnants of sanity long enough to write a coherent review? You don't! So don't be expecting anything like that here, because you won't get it. What you will get is incoherent babbling in bouts of full body sobbing and maniacal laughter. In that exact order. I said mind your business! I feel like I've just been hit by a mac truck of feels.
How do I even describe this duet to you? Soul shattering. All encompassing. Heart wrenching. Erotic. Utterly unforgettable. PHENOMENAL.
He didn’t want to feel anything, and instead, he felt everything. We’ve just ruined ourselves with our hate for the other.
Full disclosure, I must have spent a good 60% of this book hysterically sobbing. Like to the point of full body shakes when my husband finally looked at me like I've gone and lost it completely. And you know what? He was not wrong. God damn but Stewart can write. The woman can wring emotion out of her readers like nobody's business but she seriously hit it out of the ballpark with this story.
Let's talk about Cecelia for a second, because as many may judge her, I loved her. It's not often you read about such a sex positive heroine that owns her desire and what she wants and I loved her for it. She's a fighter and she's magnificent in her fight. This is a woman that doesn't take things lying down and isn't afraid to rage and fight for what she wants.
Now as for the rest of it, you'll get nothing. Absolutely nothing from me. Because this is just one of those books that you need to experience totally blind. I thought I was a pretty open minded reader, but this story took me so far out of my comfort zone, I was lost at sea. Drifting in an ocean of emotion so potent, I could practically taste it. But that's also what I loved about this story. The fact that it was unlike anything else I'd ever read. It was one of those books that I will never forget. Ever. And this is coming from someone that barely remembers what she had for breakfast. Puny memory here, people.
Do yourself a favor and go in blind. Don't seek out spoilers. Don't read in depth reviews. Just trust me on this.
Is it an easy read? Not even a little. But what I appreciate about Kate Stewart's raw talent is nothing was for shock value. There's hints throughout the very first pages of what's to come and the story unravels like the most enrapturing mystery. It was gritty and all encompassing. This book owned me. Cold black heart and soul. It will be a book I'll be singing the praises of for years to come. It will be the book I recommend to anyone and everyone. It will be a book I will never, ever forget. It's one of my top reads of the year. Magical. All encompassing. Unique. A one of a kind experience that broke me and put me back together again. INCREDIBLE.

5 Dream a Thousand Dreams Stars ⭐
I can't breathe. My heart won't be the same nor will I ever forget this intense reading experience. I never believed that a story had the power to rip me to shreds and slowly mend me. A story like no other, the Ravenhood Duet was phenomenal.
"The men in my life pried my eyes open, made me aware of the war they’ve declared. And I know now if I were faced with the choice, I would scream my decision-all in.
Forever in."Everything I thought I understood from Flock was turned on its side in Exodus. There are simply not enough words to explain the journey of all the players. What started out as a secret into an organisation with its own agenda, proved that true knowledge is the key and that love isn't enough. It takes trust, sacrifice and even betrayal to accomplish what has been set in motion.
"And it’s then I allow myself to fall, further and further into the biggest secret of my life. A secret I’ve known longer than I will ever admit. I’m falling in love with my enemy."Without reading this duet, a reviewer cannot explain what transpires. Because this must be read without any true understanding to be appreciated. It only takes one woman to unravel all the hard work, and one woman to provide love and humanity to those who fight a hidden war.
This duet makes you view relationships and what we deem normal in a whole new light. Where black and white doesn't exist and being able to live freely is only for the brave. I've been sucker punched in the best possible way. Extraordinary. 🖤

Where do I start, you guys?! WHERE. DO. I. EVEN. START. First off, I had the pleasure of reading The Ravenhood duet early and it has shaken me to my core. I am a MESS. I can't do ANYTHING but obsess over these characters. I CAN'T STOP THINKING OF THEM. They have CONSUMED me heart and soul! I cry just thinking about them. I AM SO EMOTIONAL over what I read. This is hands down the BEST DUET OF 2020! Words can't do it justice. It is MORE than intense, it is MORE than angsty, it is MORE than passionate and juicy and addictive and twisty and heart-stopping. IT IS SO SO SO MUCH MORE. This wrecks you. It makes your heart bleed. It's utterly consuming, you literally CANNOT pull yourself away from the pages. It's the most unique storyline I have read ALL year. I just... YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS COMING AT YOU. Get ready, you guys. GET. FREAKING. READY. You NEED this duet in your life. It is a MUST READ. Absolutely unforgettable. A SIX STAR DUET. And what I consider to be a MANDATORY READ for romance lovers. Kate Stewart doesn't hold back and EVERY WORD is passion, magic, angst, heart. I'm so OBSESSED! Completely and totally OWNED. Add this to your TBR.

imagine me, a black women having to read the lines “Dominic, do you have any idea how hard it is for a twenty-six-year-old white woman in a power suit to get weed in this town? The discrimination is real, my love.” yeah, 3 stars just for that. anyways this book was a bit better, it introduced a new love interest who was by far way better than sean but also idk i was just like bored LOL.

#1 Flock — 3 stars
#2 Exodus — 3.5 stars***im in a hurry to get to the next book, so quick reactions and minor spoilers.***please tell me they didnt get back together in just one chapter before the epilogue 💀🔫 not after all the angst and the Bella Swan break up (
Twilight: New Moon) parallelism. 😫
also, WHO PUT THE NECKLACE ON CECELIAS PILLOW??? i mean, i dont think the significance is in the
who. just the fact that either one or both Sean & Dom did. but call me CURIOUS.
Tobias, i—
never been happier than being the Frenchmans hoe 🤠this book started right where the first one left off, and i was instantly HOOKED. that first Tobias & Cecelia encounter was wild. it was overflowed with hate, anger, attraction, and the resulting tension was
cheffs kiss.
Cecelia jumping from loving one man to another was too much too soon, but theres no denying that her chemistry and dynamic with Tobias was so much more enthralling than her with either Sean & Dom or both.
i neither liked nor disliked Cecelia, but the fact that literally every guy she came into contact with ended up either charmed by her or falling for her has me seriously wondering, what is so special about her?? because i dont see it. 😬
the way the plot unfolded felt disjointed imo. like, one moment we were enjoying the romance portion of the book, and the next there were bullets flying and we had to deal with one very grave casualty. (view spoiler)
[i really did not see Dom being dead coming. (hide spoiler)] 😭
there were so many plot twists, yet at the same time i feel like the book dragged at times. idk maybe its the time jumps. i need a moment to let things sink in. i know i love Tobias though, and if i ever re-read the book, it’ll be for him. :)

5 stars to my daddy Ezekiel Tobias King 👑
“T’aimer m’a rendu malade et je ne veux plus jamais guérir.” Loving you made me sick, and I don’t ever want to get well.
This book was unexpectedly incredible. Between the plot, the introduction of Tobias, the sexual tension, and the enemies to lovers trope, this book is so fucking well-rounded.
Tobias King (The Frenchman)
This man is EASILY in my top 5 favorite heroes. Just everything about him is so spicy.
Tobias may have ruined every other hero for me. I literally started a book after reading this trilogy and went “this is DRY”…just nothing compares.
He starts off as the biggest asshole ever, which you already know, I love.
Tobias is the kinda guy who makes you forget you ever loved anybody else. He forces
Cecelia (h) to question her love for Sean and Dom by their 2nd interaction ever.
One second, I’m standing, in the next, I’m off my feet and flat on my back. My heart stops beating as the breath is knocked out of me just as my mouth is brutalized by something resembling a kiss. He weights every inch of me as he attacks my lips, separating them with the thrust of his tongue.
When they finally stop making out he just throws jab after jab at her—
→“Tu n’y connais rien à la fidélité.” You don’t know the first thing about loyalty.
→“I wonder how your boyfriends would feel if they knew you kissed me back.”
→“I could’ve fucked you, and you know it. You can’t be loyal even to those who you proclaim to love.”
Tobias and Cecelia’s hate for each other accompanied by their
LUST for each other is just so expertly done. They ooze sexual tension. Like when they’re fucking and he tells her to 'call out to him' which she refuses to do so he—
He drives in again, his palm gliding up my body before he tightens it around my throat.
“Call out to me,” he orders, his voice laced with restraint. “We might as well enjoy hell together.”
The feel of this is overwhelming; too carnal, too personal, it’s just entirely too much, and it’s driving me to the brink. His thrusts deepen, and I begin a quick climb, the pressure of his fingers around my neck fluctuating with every roll of his hips.
I rip at his hand as he denies me air, the intensity building with every squeeze and release. My need growing the heavier his hand becomes.
→Him punishing her 😌🥰
Even then, after she refuses to call out his name, he gets possessive and jealous while still being cocky 😌-
“You can’t tell me who to sleep with.”
“I don’t have to. You won’t fuck anyone but me…”
In all honestly, this is more of an
enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers which is
SUPERIOR. When lovers becomes enemies it’s just so 🤌🏻💋
“Je baise mon poing tous les jours en pensant à toi.” I fuck my fist to you every day. He unbuttons my slacks and slowly pulls them down. “Et je te déteste pendant tout.” And I hate you the whole time.
There’s so many other beautiful and heartbreaking moments in this book that I physically CANNOT go into because it only brings back pain 😭💔
This book and really this series is one of a kind and really, so are Cecelia and Tobias. Tobias forced his way into Cecelia's life and made sure she fell for him and that she couldn't love anyone else.
Tobias made Cecelia feel REAL love and god it was beautiful. the ravenhood ↠ 1: flock —
