| c54e670 | I think you give our relationship too much credit. I irritate the hell out of Curran and he found a way to pester me. It's nothing." "You may be right," Raphael said. "His Majesty needs a can-I girl anyway. And I'm not it." "A can-I girl?" Andrea frowned. I leaned back. "'Can I fetch you your food, Your Majesty? Can I tell you how strong and mighty you are, Your Majesty? Can I pick out your fleas, Your Majesty? Can I kiss your ass, Your Maj.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| b5caa95 | zealot's psyche is a tightrope. They have severed everything else in favor of their goal. They will pay any price for their victory, and that makes them infinitely more dangerous. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e042a64 | which had required enough dimensional finagling to make an entire university of theoretical physicists beg for mercy, | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 994166c | To answer your question, yes, you may kiss my ass. Normally I prefer to maintain my personal space, but you're a Friend of the Pack and your services have proven useful once or twice. I strive to accommodate the wishes of persons friendly to my people. My only question is, would your kissing my ass be obeisance, grooming, or foreplay?" "You didn't answer my question," Curran said. "What will it be?" "No," I said. Curran grinned and my heart.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| fc081a7 | He seemed to shrug off the sun's rays. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 8b03974 | As we walked back to the scar, I turned to him. "You should give up and let your mane grow out." "Mm-hm. And then we can stay up late, and you can braid it, and put ribbons in it . . ." "Don't you want to show off your pretty hair, Goldilocks?" "I'll show you hair." I raised my eyebrow. "Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?" "Wait and you'll find out." -- | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4e92d47 | Curran. "You're taking a nap? Come on Kate, I need you for this fight, Stop lying around." You sonovabitch. I rolled to my feet and grabbed my sword. "You must think you're funny." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f0fe2e6 | Besides, if I'd decided to pull Carver's spine out of his body, I would've done it already." "Can you actually do that?" Curran frowned. "I don't know. I mean theoretically if you broke the spine above the pelvis, you could, but then there are ribs . . . I'll have to try it sometime." | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 913ea05 | He'd left for a reason, and I didn't want to be anyone's blast from the past. Still, not knowing was worse than any potential awkwardness. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 6de8228 | We live in a dangerous world. If you see a chance to be happy, you have to fight for it, so later you have no regrets. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| b5090df | Unfortunately, stain removal methods was one of those troublesome subjects somewhere between relationship issues and mysterious car noises. Everybody was an expert, everybody had a cure, and they all fell over themselves to offer their advice. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 2061e80 | I WALKED INTO my house to see the knight and the wizard sitting in my kitchen, drinking coffee. If you added in Julie's thieving skills and my sword, we almost had an adventuring party. "It's too bad we're missing a cleric," I said. They both looked at me like I had grown a second head." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 24b8392 | Humans tend to segregate the world: enemies on one side, friends on the other. Friends are people we know. Enemies are the Other. You can do just about anything to the Other. It doesn't matter if this Other is actually guilty of any crimes, because it's a matter of emotion, not logic. You see, angry people aren't interested in justice. They just want an excuse to vent their rage." Doolittle sighed. "And once you become their Other, you're n.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 72b35ea | We'd need to leave fast. The biggest hurdle would be finding a ship. Passages across the Atlantic didn't always work out. The Black Sea wasn't easy to cross either. The ancient Greeks called it Pontos Axenos, the Hostile Sea. In our day and age, Greek myths were lifesaving required reading, and I'd read enough of them to know that the Black Sea wasn't a fun place. "Where on the Black Sea?" "Georgia." Colchis.

| 7ec7673 | They call the undead inhuman, not realizing the irony: only humans are capable of inhumanity. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 3cd0006 | I started down the walkway. Two vampires vaulted out of the trenches in front of me, fangs bared. Oh look, it's a party and everybody is invited. Good. I liked parties. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 665ddeb | Kate, you're a pushover," the clerk said. I leaned over the counter and offered him my best deranged smile. "Wanna push and see if I fall over?" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 8a22839 | She is in particular interested in the Ennui predator. She very much likes its demeanor and coloring in the images. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d24d869 | hated each other so much their feud had become legendary. Half the jokes in the galaxy started with "a vampire and an otrokar walk into a bar...." | science-fiction urban-fantasy | Ilona Andrews | |
| 26f15ef | The Kodiak of Atlanta was brave and powerful and the closest thing to a father Curran had. He also had an uncanny ability to alienate everyone in the room and then have to defend himself when a brawl broke out. He took self-defense seriously. Sometimes there was no building left standing when he was done. | kodiaks | Ilona Andrews | |
| 03ce846 | I'm your father. That's the great privilege of parenthood; we can comment on whatever we want. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9efc7ce | You're like a crazy cat lady, but you collect killers instead of fluffy cats." "I don't collect killers." "Yes, you do, and those who aren't killers turn into killers by the time you're done. You made Julie into a maniac. That child has more knives on her than a squad of the PAD. Christopher was the only stray who couldn't fight, and now it turns out he's a god of terror. Why am I not surprised?" -- | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 616c0ef | We crossed the street and turned left into one of the side streets, which was only slightly less wide. Here the traffic was lighter. To the left and slightly in front of us, two men walked shoulder to shoulder. The first wore leather pants, a white shirt with wide sleeves, and a leather vest over it. A wide leather bracer enclosed his left forearm. His hair, a rare blond shade, almost gold, hung in a ponytail down his back. He moved with a .. | jack-camarine the-edge the-edge-tie-in | Ilona Andrews | |
| 0cc885f | Some people in the world only saw in black and white. They were driven by fear. They had learned how to survive in their little corner of the world and they saw any change as a threat to their survival. But they still liked to think of themselves as good people. Good people didn't hate without a reason, so they grasped at any pretext, no matter how small, that gave them permission to hate. A line in a holy book. The color of a person's skin.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c22dfb5 | Answer my question: Why do smart people tend to be stupid?" "Because we think we know better. We think that our intellect affords us special privileges and lets us beat the odds." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7709b7c | This is going to suck," Curran said. "It will suck much less if you come with me. You want me to level, here it is: I need you. I need you because I love you. Three months without you will be hell." | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 69b4031 | Most people simply didn't realize they could do things that bent their reality. It was kind of like growing up in a land with no deep rivers or lakes. If you never tried, how would you know if you could swim? But | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 661eb56 | Curran could be described in many ways: dangerous, powerful . . . insufferable. "Elegant" usually wasn't one of the adjectives used, and as he walked next to me, I wished I had a camera so I could commemorate the moment. And then blackmail him with it." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f67f1d5 | Two pairs of eyes blinked at her from angelic faces: Georgie's blue and Jack's amber. Hooligans, both of them. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 18d6c4a | To Mother "no" was simply a "yes" that hadn't had a chance to hear her out." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 2b82288 | Barbarism usually produces swift death. Cruelty is the mark of a civilized human. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d5b7006 | Ooo." Hugh sucked the air in, narrowing his eyes. "Mean. I like mean." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 95db7bf | Kate usually dealt with things by talking, and when that didn't work, chopping obstacles into tiny pieces and frying them with magic so they didn't get back up. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 6f49b65 | Roman blinked again and smacked Aspid's nose with his hand. "What did I say about kisses? No kisses unless invited." Aspid's tongue contracted. He pulled Roman into his mouth. I sprinted. "Yes, I love you, too," Roman said from inside the forest of teeth. "I need to go now. Come on." The dragon opened his mouth and put Roman back into the mud." | dragons priests | Ilona Andrews | |
| d3ee5c3 | The first rule of etiquette a boy learns when he's about to enter society is that civility is due to all women. No provocation, no matter how unjust and rudely delivered, can validate a man who fails to treat a woman with anything less than utmost courtesy. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| aa92d1e | I looked at Curran. "You killed an animal god and then you ate him?" "Maybe," Curran said. "What do you mean maybe?" | Ilona Andrews |
