| 4e76b26 | Outside I hopped into our vehicle, the taint of vampiric magic clinging to me like greasy smoke. "I feel soiled." "Like walking into a room after a day of work, falling into bed, and realizing the sheets are covered in cold K-Y jelly," Raphael said. I just stared at him. "With a funky smell," he added. My Order conditioning failed me. "Ew." Raphael grinned. "I"m not even going to ask if that"s happened to you." I started the vehicle.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

"A private, relatively remote location, with thick walls to dampen the sound and preferably a sturdy door I could bolt from the inside, keeping your grandmother, your brothers, and all other painfully annoying spectators out..."

| 932b6d6 | She crouched with her hand out. What the hell was she doing... "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty." Oh my God, she was retarded and I was going to kill Jim. She blinked and stared at me. She'd seen my eyes glow. I let go, shifting in the dark into my true form in the dark. If you want a Kitty, little girl, I'll give you one you'll never forget. I stepped into the moonlight. She froze. That's right. No sudden moves. I padded toward her slowly and ci.. | humor ilona-andrews kate-daniels kitty-kitty | Ilona Andrews | |
| 82e2e4d | I should've been furious, but for some reason I wasn't. Maybe because I knew he was telling the truth. Maybe because Voron left me just like that, without the much-needed explanations. Maybe because things I had learned about him since his death had made me doubt everything he'd ever said to me. Whatever the case, I felt only a hollow, crushing sadness. How touching. I understood my adoptive father's killer. Maybe after this was over, Hugh'.. | kate voron | Ilona Andrews | |

| a54868d | William strode to her. That's how it's done. Drink it in. She surveyed the carnage behind him. "Did you have fun?" He showed her his teeth. "Yes. Now they won't take you anywhere." Cerise stepped closer to him, so close he only needed to lean in and dip his head and he would kiss her. Since he saved her, maybe he could just grab her and-- "That was the stupidest thing you have done since I've met you," she ground out through her teeth. Bela.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7a686d3 | Curran smiled. It was a happy, genuine smile and it catapulted him from attractive into irresistible territory. He didn't smile very often in public. That intimate smile was usually reserved for private moments when we were alone. I pulled the band off my still-damp braid and slid my fingers through it, unraveling the hair. Curran's gaze snagged on my hands. He focused on my fingers like a cat on a piece of foil pulled by a string. I shook .. | kate-daniels | Ilona Andrews | |

| 54b8fc9 | I never wanted to marry anyone before," he said. "When two people marry, they surrender a small part of themselves. They become more like each other. I never met a woman who was better than me at things I take pride in, and I never wanted to be like them. I always knew that whoever I was with was temporary. There was always a new woman around the corner. I've seen marriages shatter. Twice. My mother left, then Richard's wife. It almost brok.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 95e2226 | According to the biblical tradition the absence of work -- idleness -- was a condition of the first man's state of blessedness before the Fall. The love of idleness has been preserved in fallen man, but now a heavy curse lies upon him, not only because we have to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, but also because our sense of morality will not allow us to be both idle and at ease.
