| 2e3da15 | You're Mad Rogan!" Leon burst out. "Yes," Mad Rogan said, his voice calm. "And you can break cities?" "Yes." "And you have all this money and magic?" "Yes." Where was Leon going with this? My cousin blinked. "And you look . . . like that?" Mad Rogan nodded. "Yes." Leon's dark eyes went wide. He looked at Mad Rogan, then glanced down at himself. At fifteen, Leon weighed barely a hundred pounds. His arms and legs were like chopsticks. "There.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c6efa87 | He pulled me like a magnet. Every female instinct I had went into overdrive. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 0dff04b | He owned their souls. They thought he was God. "When" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| ebc174a | The top bag popped, and a metric ton of old lasagna spilled onto my pants. The stench of soured spaghetti sauce washed over me. Ew. Of all the trash from this whole giant building, I had to step on a bag from the food court. Damn it. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9aabccb | And those who love us most lie to us most of all, because life is a bumpy ride and they want to smooth it out as much as possible. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c5b2790 | Mag Rogan and I stood on the edge of a cliff. Below us, the ground plunged so far down that it was as if the planet itself had ended at our feet. The wind tugged at my hair. He was wearing those dark pants again and nothing else. The hard muscle corded his torso, fueled by an overpowering, almost savage strength. Not the mindless brutality of a common thug or the cruel power of an animal, but an intelligent, stubborn, human strength. It was.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7e2a49f | So far my best plan would be to build a mountain of gasoline cans and explosives, stick a Property of US Government sign on it, and throw a T-shirt over Pierce's head when he showed up to explode it. Yes, this would totally work. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 70a79cd | Men like you enjoy being flattered. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 60ebbb4 | These guys are the world's biggest welfare queens, after all--suck up government money in military contracts, use it to issue bonds, get the government to pass laws that make your bonds into safer bets, then go after even bigger and better laws. I'm guessing they never spend a penny if they can get Uncle Sucker to foot the bill. | Cory Doctorow | ||
| be70a9f | Because my telekinetic magic doesn't work on living things. I can throw something metal fast enough to slice an opponent to pieces. I can hurl a board at him, because cut wood is dead. I can choke him with his own clothes if they are loose enough. But I can't simply throw a body." Oh. "So the best way to fight you is to strip naked and attack?" His eyes flashed with a wicked light. "Yes. You should try it and see what happens." Well, I did .. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 154c427 | Can you turn so you're not pressed against me?" "I could," he said, his voice amused. "But then you would have to lie on top of me." My brain said, "NO." My body went, "Wheee!" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 2cf3656 | My wrists and ankles were bleeding. My knees too--I must've scraped myself trying to draw the circle. So far today I'd seen a woman almost die, I'd shot a person, I'd killed another person with my shockers, I'd been strung up on wires and almost crushed by a car, and now I was bleeding all over the place. If I could, I would punch today right in the face. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c64b0ef | Well, you don't get to have any of my bullshit. I'm keeping it." Okay, and that didn't sound childish. Not at all." -- | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 3b0d204 | Well, if he wasn't dead, he definitely wasn't happy. Great, I've turned into my mother. That's what she would say. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9685876 | Marry him. We need college money. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e4055fe | Normally I'd hide my gun in a canvas bag or a purse. Today I didn't bother. My Baby Desert Eagle rested in a hip holster. Its magazine held twelve rounds, .40 S&W, and I'd brought two spare magazines, in the interior pocket within the lining of my jacket. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 19716db | A human mind is the place where emotion and reason are locked in perpetual combat. Sadly for our species, emotion always wins. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| b6d7f22 | The shirt molded to his shoulders and chest. His biceps stretched the sleeves. He looked strong, and rugged, and rough around the edges. He needed an ax or something, so he could casually swing it while he walked. I tilted my head and just watched. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| bc652ec | Your family is in danger. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e8ef32f | I licked his lips. He tasted so good. A hoarse male noise escaped his mouth. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 5ebffa2 | What was wrong with my life and how did I get to this place? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 342f4c4 | Are we going to school today?" "No. "Great. Then I'm going to go outside and see if I can get a gun. Since my own family won't let me have one, I'll have to beg strangers." - Leon & Penelope" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| fb0eeb5 | Never fear quarrels, but seek hazardous adventures, | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 3469006 | This wasn't the world of normal people. Yet somehow I kept getting stuck in it. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f1b429a | when you make a sequence of wrong choices, eventually you're left with no choice at all. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f5eeb39 | When one of the security people asked if Rogan had threatened Forsberg, the Scourge of Mexico looked at him for a moment and condescended to explain that he hadn't threatened anyone. He had been moving thru the hallways with a purpose because he had someplace to be and if they had a problem identifying the difference between that and him actually threatening someone, he would be happy to demonstrate. They decided not to question him further.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 362160b | Eventually Victoria will die. She's old." And that didn't sound morbid. Not at all." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 13640c2 | He fixed me with his Mad Rogan stare. "If you find the connection between Brian's disappearance and the conspiracy, I want to know about it. Not eventually, not when it's convenient, but immediately." "Yes, sir. I was going to kiss you good night, but now I can't. It's against the rules to fraternize with my superior officer." "Hilarious," he said." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9454b3b | You did more than anyone could ask. You bought more than enough time for Cornelius to deploy his iron pan and for Rynda to escape. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d16ca7e | I'm sorry I wasn't there." "I'm not upset that you weren't there. I was doing my job. I don't blame you for anything, Connor. Except not telling me that you had a lead. That wasn't cool." I lowered my voice, trying to match his. "When you have a lead, I want to know about it. Not eventually, not when it's convenient, but immediately." He didn't rise to the bait. Apparently, he was determined to blame himself. "So, are we still on tonight? .. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9fb52fd | She's FREAKING out. I'm trying to calm her down. I may have to get wine. Or pot. Can I buy some pot? No. It's medicinal. No pot or I tell Mom. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d4584cb | I opened the door and saw a huge slimy pile of dog puke cooling in the middle of my hallway carpet. The attack poodle sat nearby, an expression of perfect innocence on his narrow mug. I pointed at the puke. "That was a dick move." The attack poodle wagged his tail." -- | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f3d6847 | Are you sure that I'll be enough? These places can get pretty rough. You walk into a cake shop and then some gunslinger tells you, 'You ain't from around here, partner,' and the next thing you know, you're in the middle of the street, your horse is dead, the bad guy's got your girl by her hair, and you're down to one bullet." "What is going on in your head?" "It's a dark, lawless place, Catalina. So dark." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4eb523f | I`ll kill you and eat your guts while you sream." "Not in that order, you won`t." | logic threats | Ilona Andrews | |
| 7b4df15 | I'm sorry. You should make my life hell for the next hundred years. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e93241d | Do we need to give you some privacy for the makeup sex? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 6a3b755 | The thing is, people have a remarkable potential to injure you, but they also have a great power to help you heal. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f081de6 | If you challenge someone, we can't interfere," Barabas murmured. "Remember, don't provoke them." I kicked the door open and walked in. Fourteen pairs of eyes glared at me from around the table. Beyond the alpha, fourteen other shapeshifters waited--the betas of each clan, invited as a courtesy. I looked from face to face. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" the male voice said. Third man on the left. Tall, wiry. Sontag. I looked at h.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 6d1045a | I'd believed him. He was supposed to be different, to be more. He'd made me hope for things I didn't think I'd ever get. When hope broke, it hurt. Mine was a very big, very desperate hope, and it hurt like a sonovabitch. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 5dd84d3 | I plucked a creased note from the table. Eight weeks ago, Curran, the Beast Lord of Atlanta, the lord and master of fifteen hundred shapeshifters, and my own personal psycho, had sat in the kitchen of my apartment in Atlanta and written out a menu on this piece of paper. I'd lost a bet to him, and according to the terms of our wager, I owed him one naked dinner. He'd added a disclaimer explaining that he'd settle for my wearing a bra and pa.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| b716046 | The flesh-colored fuzz tested the salt and found it delicious. Figured. I didn't feel any different, and I was closest to the body, so I'd be the first one to go. A comforting thought. Cash had brought down some bottles, and I dumped their contents onto the crates, soaking the wood in hard liquor and kerosene. One flick of a match, and the wooden ring flared into flames. "Is that it?" Cash asked. "No. The fire will delay it, but not for lo.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 40e0fb0 | There were times in life when nothing short of spitting fire would do. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 17e3f44 | Every cell in her ached, as if her whole body had been through such a long and grueling punishment that it simply gave up and now wallowed in self-pity and pain. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| a1b1a52 | So it's my fault? I made you your bloody dinner. You didn't show up. Just couldn't pass up a chance to humiliate me, could you?" Curran bit the air as if he had fangs. "I was challenged by two bears. They broke two of my ribs and dislocated my hip. When Doolittle finally finished setting my bones, I was four hours late. I asked if you called and they said no." He'd sunk enough gravity into that "no" to bring down a building. "If you were la.. | Ilona Andrews |
