| e2795a5 | Oh my God", Marc rhapsodized. "Who is that ?" "An asshole," I mumbled, turning back to him and picking up my tea. I was so rattled I sloshed some of the hot liquid on my hand, but I didn't feel a thing. "He's coming over here !" Marc squealed. "Oh my God, oh my God, ohmyGod!" "Will you get a hold of yourself?" I hissed. "You sound like a girl with a crush. Ah-ha!" | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 4558fdd | Here I am, just wandering down a deserted street in the middle of the night. I hope I don't run into any trouble. Goodness, that would just ruin my whole evening." I strolled and hummed, trying to project Innocent Victim." | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 435af48 | The vampire bible, bound in human skin, written in blood, and full of prophecies that were never wrong. Trouble was, if you read the thing too long, it drove you nuts. Not "I'm having a bad day and feel bitchy" nuts or PMS nuts. "I think I'll commit felony assault on my friends and rape my boyfriend" nuts." | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| ab33241 | you just never knew when a totally normal vampire errand would end in a bloodbath with severed-limb soap. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| a31ff8e | At the very least, if I have not - yet- chosen to end your life, I refuse to allow any of my kin to forever deprive me of my prerogative to do so. | kaylin-neya | Michelle Sagara West | |

| 7a233c7 | I'm sworn to uphold his laws. Saying that you killed someone because they annoyed you isn't codified as acceptable, by those laws, anywhere I'm aware of." "You are clearly not looking carefully enough." | sanabalis | Michelle Sagara West | |
| 468a3f7 | What did she say?' 'She made her displeasure with his existence clear.' 'That's it?' 'She made some claims about how she was going to alleviate her displeasure. | Michelle Sagara West | ||

| 2d4d9ac | Newt had said I loved Ivy more than the church. I wasn't going to deny it, but there were all kinds of love, and how shallow would I be if my anchor to reality was a hunk of real estate? It was the people who were there that made it mean something. | Kim Harrison | ||

| ef220c2 | I would have sworn fairies were too big to fit into a frog's mouth. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 7950eb5 | I handed it over, and Jenks stumbled at the weight. His head thunked into the wall of the narrow hallway. "Bloody hell!" he exclaimed, crashing into the opposite wall when he overcompensated. "I'm all right!" he said quickly, waving off any help. "I'm all right. Sweet mother of Tink, the damn walls are so close! It's like walking in a freaking anthill." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 8113bcd | And I might collapse from the cold anyway. How do you stand it, Rache? Tink's titties, I think parts of me fell off. | Kim Harrison | ||

| 90d2c2b | The memory of him tracing the lines of my face filled me. I remembered the touch of his sensitive fingers, following my jawline, running down my neck to follow the curves of my body.

I remembered the way he made me feel needed, appreciated for who and what I was, never having to apologize for it, and the contentm.. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 127b749 | A tear slipped from under my eyelid at Ivy's loneliness, her need for emotional reassurance, and her frustrations that though I could understand what she wanted, I was afraid to find out if I had the capacity to meet her halfway, to trust her. And my breath caught when she wiped the moisture away with a careful finger, unaware that it was for her. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 9acb07a | It takes an incredibly strong person to walk away from someone they love," Jenks said, holding up two fingers as if making a list. "Especially knowing they will do something asinine, like shopping when their blood count is so low they ought to be in the hospital. You should give her credit for respecting you like that." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 2c6daa7 | What a slug's ass. If he doesn't go to the hospital and die on paper, then we have a dead vamp to explain and will be brought up on insurance fraud. Rache, I'm too pretty to go to jail! | Kim Harrison | ||

| 35559e2 | He had murdered any illlusion of Alex Remington. The golden pendant had been replaced by a spiked dog collar, and he was wearing a black T-shirt that hugged his form and showed off the many designs on his arms: Fenris on the right wrist, and Echidna, the greek mother of monsters, high on his left arm. The norse world serpent was wrapped around his left wrist, and a new design had recently been added: Cerberus, the three-headed dog who guard.. | Amelia Atwater-Rhodes | ||
| f29972c | Jared hadn't planned it, had never even thought about it, but he couldn't control taking complete possession of her mouth with a bruising kiss. He wanted to insult her, to further humiliate her, to shatter her damned poise. But her body was so female, her lips so soft, warm, virginal, that what had been hurtful and brutal became tender, seeking, questioning. | Sandra Brown | ||
| 95283e9 | Women misjudged his pathology because of his prolific brain-games. He used gaslighting techniques to convince her she had a break with reality. Some survivors called it 'The Ultimate Mind Screw'--sending prominent female executives, attorneys, and doctors into mental institutions to recover from him. Coercion, psychological warfare techniques and Stockholm Syndrome symptoms have left survivors sawed off at the emotional knees by a smooth-ta.. | Sandra L. Brown | ||
| 73ebb33 | What makes psychopathy so different, so surreal, so much like a relational b@$*tch-slap that it nearly knocks her head off? --The sensation of being emotionally 'jumped' from behind. --The inability to wrap her head around the emotional-physical-spiritual-sexual gang-bang that just happened when she thought she was with the most wonderful person. No one can figure out how a dangerous psychopath curled up to them like a purring cat. Half of.. | Sandra L. Brown | ||
| 3dfc176 | His entire aspect was menacing, starting with his chilling eyes and the pronounced bone structure of his face. He was tall and lean, but the skin on his arms was stretched over muscles that looked as taut as whipcord. The backs of his hands were bumpy with strong veins. His clothes and hair had snagged natural debris--twigs, sprigs of moss, small leaves. He seemed indifferent to all that, just as he did to the mud caked on his boots and the.. | Sandra Brown | ||
| a510ea9 | Doral asked if Coburn's neighbors had been interviewed. "By me personally," Fred replied. "Everybody in the apartment complex knew him by sight.

| c18f4ea | If you let a man cancel plans or decline to do things for you, you lose. | Gillian Flynn | ||
| c4158d6 | Every phrase had to be captured on paper or it wasn't real, it slipped away. I'd see the words hanging in midair--Camille, pass the milk-- and anxiety coiled up in me as they began to fade, like jet exhaust. Writing them down, though, I had them. No worries that they'd become extinct. I was a lingual conservationist. I was the class freak, a tight, nervous eighth-grader frenziedly copying down phrases ("Mr. Feeney is totally gay," "Jamie Do.. | invisible-things writing | Gillian Flynn | |
