That's What HE Said Thursday is a bookish meme hosted by Lynn at Chapter Break Book Blog, where we share our favourite lines said by our book boyfriend to the heroine!
This week, I'm sharing a quote said by William in Kelley York and Rowan Altwood's A Light Amongst Shadows to his boyfriend James. William is the perfect mysterious boy who I love so much.
"It's quite cosy. Isolated, too. We'd not have to worry about being bothered. Room enough for both of us..."
Goodreads Summary:
James Spencer is hardly the typical “troubled youth” who ends up at Whisperwood School for Boys. Instead of hating the strict schedules and tight oversight by staff, James blossoms, quickly making friends and indulging in his love of writing, while contemplating the merits of sneaking love poems to the elusive and aloof William Esher.
The rumours about William’s sexuality and opium reliance are prime gossip material amongst the third years. Rumours that only further pique James' curiosity to uncover what William is really like beneath all that emotional armor. And, when the normally collected William stumbles in one night, shaken and ranting of ghosts... James is the only one who believes him.
James himself has heard the nails dragging down his bedroom door and the sobs echoing in the halls at night. He knows others have, too, even if no one will admit it. The staff refuses to entertain such ridiculous tales, and punishment awaits anyone who brings it up.
Their fervent denial and the disappearance of students only furthers James’s determination to find out what secrets Whisperwood is hiding... Especially if it means keeping William and himself from becoming the next victims.
