21 " Bookstores are temples and stories are my prayers. "

22 " What up, peeps?"I looked at my hairless cat for a moment. "What up, peeps? You've been watching MTV again, haven't you?""Word. "

23 " I cringed at her entirely accurate summary of the kiss. "Look, it‘s not a big deal. I think it was curiosity more than anything.""Curiosity? Like you were wondering what his tonsils tasted like? "
― Jaye Wells , The Mage in Black (Sabina Kane, #2)
24 " Believe it or not, there are plenty of ways to satisfy your need for blood without harming anyone."I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, but where's the fun in that? "
25 " I think you need to go find that boy and tell him how you feel about him. Then you need to ride him like a tilt-o-whirl. "
― Jaye Wells , Green-Eyed Demon (Sabina Kane, #3)
26 " Before I joined them, I cracked my neck from side to side. Breathing in a martyred sigh, I reminded my temper to behave itself. If I'd learned one thing, it was that killing people who annoyed me generally created more problems than it solved.I mentally patted myself on the back. See? Totally growing. "
27 " Fuck fate and David's fatalism. I was going to make destiny my bitch. "
28 " We passed by a few workers, who did double takes as we ran past. I supposed that the image of a hairless cat in a sweater being followed by a stressed-looking chick in stiletto boots could have been funny. I was too anxious to get the hell out of there to see any humor in it. "
29 " Spare me the self-righteous indignation. I highly doubt your motives are selfless. "
30 " Sabina." Vinca said interrupting my maudlin thoughts."Hmmm..."She rolled her eyes. "I said, don't you think Adam looks nice tonight."I shook myself. "I guess so," I said with a shrug."Oh, stop," he said. "You're going to make me blush. "
31 " What are you doing here?” a deep voice demanded. My heart burst into a rapid staccato as I swung around, ready to defend myself. Only instead of a guard or employee, Giguhl sat a few feet away laughing at me. “Dammit, you scared the crap out of me.”He laughed, a spooky noise coming from an even spookier-looking cat. “You should have seen your face. "
32 " I frowned. This from a man who just watched a midget riding a gimp? "
33 " You know what you need?" Giguhl said. I raised a brow, bracing myself for a punch line. "A to-do list. Might help you keep track of all the beings who want you dead and the satanic birdlife you've kidnapped."I imagined a list in my head:1. Perform voodoo ritual on evil owl.2. Find out who sold us out to the anachronistic Caste vampires.3. Make amends with a lesbian werewolf.4. Rescue twin.5. Murder grandmother.I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. "Yeah, I'll get right on that."Gighul heard the sarcasm. "Suit yourself, but don't come crying to me if you forget who you're supposed to kill when. "
34 " Why is it forked? "
35 " Where'd you send her?""Siberia. Lovely this time of year. A bit remote, I'm afraid. Might take her weeks to find a town and even longer to arrange transportation back to the States."My lips quirked. I didn't feel like laughing, but the image of my half-millenium-old grandmother trudging through snow was kind of funny. "You're sick, you know that?""What can I day? I thought a cold-hearted bitch like her would feel at home in the tundra. "
36 " Must not kill the demon cat. Must not kill the demon cat. "
37 " My mouth fell open. I wasn‘t used to receiving practical advice from Giguhl. But the weird thing? He was totally right. ―When‘d you become so insightful?He smiled wickedly. ―Lady, I piss insight. "
38 " The what?""Lone Wolves." He turned to show me the back of his raggedy jacket. Sure enough, a snarling wolf face stared back at me from the leather."Wait a second," I said. "Isn't it supposed to be 'Lone Wolf' as in, you know, one? If there's more than one, then it kind of defeats the purpose of being 'lone', doesn't it?"The leader squinted hard, as if trying to follow my logic and getting lost. "
39 " And if i had to listen to one more minute of my demon's increasingly pathetic and creepy attempts to get a piece of rebound faery ass, i was going to cut a bitch. "
40 " ..Though I have to say nothing beats Type O mixed with a little cannabis." A muscle worked in David's jaw. "You're stoned?""Not Really," I said. "Though I do have a strange craving for pizza. Extra garlic. "
