Ilona Andrews QUOTES

1 " I’d missed him so much, it almost hurt. It started the moment I left the Keep and nagged at me all day. Every day I had to fight with myself to keep from making up bullshit reasons to call the Keep so I could hear his voice. My only saving grace was that Curran wasn’t handling this whole mating thing any better. Yesterday he’d called me at the office claiming that he couldn’t find his socks. We talked for two hours. "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5)

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, #4)

3 " I can't give you the white picket fence, and if I did, you'd set it on fire. "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, #4)

4 " It's a reflex. Hear a bell, get food. See an undead, throw a knife. Same thing, really. "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1)

8 " I've never created a riot before. I did cause a brawl at the last formal. A large number of young women there actually arrived with the expectation of seducing me into matrimony, and a couple of their mothers came to blows. It was hilari—I mean, dreadful. Simply dreadful. "

― Ilona Andrews , On the Edge (The Edge, #1)

9 " I ripped my left arm out of his hand and slammed my elbow into his solar plexus. He exhaled in a gasp. I lunged for the dagger and sat on top of him, my knees pinning his arms, my dagger on his throat.
He lay still. “I give up,” he said and smiled. “Your move.”
Er. I was sitting atop the Beast Lord in my underwear, holding a knife to his throat. What the hell was my next move? "

10 " I came to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat.

“Everyone brought a pet. I feel left out.”

An enthusiastic howl broke the silence, and Grendel bounded through the doorway. He galloped through the steak house, skidded on the floor, smashed into my chair, and dropped a dead rat on my lap.

Awesome. "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5)

― Ilona Andrews , On the Edge (The Edge, #1)

12 " Because he has the best equipment in the City and he knows how to use it! "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, #4)

13 " It took a qualified wizard to detect a summoning in progress. It required only a half-literate idiot with a twitch of power and a dim idea of how to use it to attempt one. Before you knew it, a three-headed Slavonic god was wreaking havoc in downtown Atlanta, the skies were raining winged snakes, and SWAT was screaming for more ammo. "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1)

― Ilona Andrews , On the Edge (The Edge, #1)

― Ilona Andrews , Angels of Darkness (Alphas, #0.5; Guild Hunter, #3.5; The Guardians, #7.5; Samaria)

16 " Everybody has something, that one thing they must do to feel happy. I think this is yours, and I want you to be happy. You don’t have to do it, but it’s here if you choose to come back to it. "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, #4)

17 " He’d spent the night in the boat. Next to the spaghetti queen.

William glanced at the hobo girl. She sat across from him, huddled in a clump. Her stench had gotten worse overnight, probably from the dampness. Another night like the last one, and he might snap and dunk her into that river just to clear the air.

She saw him looking. Dark eyes regarded him with slight scorn.

William leaned forward and pointed at the river. “I don’t know why you rolled in spaghetti sauce,” he said in a confidential voice. “I don’t really care. But that water over there won’t hurt you. Try washing it off.”

She stuck her tongue out.

“Maybe after you’re clean,” he said.

Her eyes widened. She stared at him for a long moment. A little crazy spark lit up in her dark irises. She raised her finger, licked it, and rubbed some dirt off her forehead.

Now what?

The girl showed him her stained finger and reached toward him slowly, aiming for his face.

“No,” William said. “Bad hobo.”

The finger kept coming closer. "

18 " I once took a city with five men and a lame goat. If I can do that, you can convince the necromancers to pledge themselves to you. Do this or die. "

― Ilona Andrews , Magic Binds (Kate Daniels, #9)

19 " Jack didn’t fully get Jesus. Audrey tried to explain it, and he could repeat it back to her, word for word, but he still didn’t comprehend most of it. The best he could gather was that Jesus lived long ago, told people to be nice, and they killed him for it. At the end, he asked who was Jesus’ necromancer and if he was in the Bible, then Kaldar couldn’t stop laughing and had to sit down. "

― Ilona Andrews , Fate's Edge (The Edge, #3)

20 " ...sometimes what you go looking for isn't as important as what you leave behind. "
