81 " Anna, my strong, terrifying Anna. "
― Kendare Blake , Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1)
82 " Yes. Smashing. You’ll be just like those four chaps in the movie. You know the one, with the oversized marshmallow. "
83 " I’m not a superhero,” I say. It’s an awful tag. It’s egotistical, and it doesn’t fit. I don’t parade around in spandex. "
84 " Move, hunt, kill. Like lather, rinse, and repeat. "
85 " I hit him with a board; of course he’s got a concussion. Don’t be an idiot. "
86 " It feels so separate, like I’ve touched something that’s taken the color out of me. Or maybe I’m in color now and they’re in black and white. "
87 " I can feel that photo of Anna staring at me from sixty years ago, and I can’t help myself from wanting to protect her, wanting to save her from becoming what she already is. "
88 " I peek over the back of the couch and there she is, my goddess of death, her hair snaking out in a great black cloud, her teeth grinding hard enough to make living gums bleed. "
89 " I come in all big and bad, and you use me for a game of handball.” I grin. “Makes a guy feel damn manly. She grins back. “It made me feel pretty manly. "
90 " We’re not children, neither of us. We don’t believe in fairy tales. And if we did, who would we be? Not Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty. I slice murder victims’ heads off and Anna stretches skin until it rips, she snaps bones like green branches into smaller and smaller pieces. We’d be the fricking dragon and the wicked fairy. I know that. But I still have to tell her. "
91 " I think of her again. Anna. Anna Dressed in Blood. I wonder what tricks she'll try. I wonder if she'll be clever. Will she float? Will she laugh or scream?How will she try to kill me? "
92 " I don’t have my knife,” I mumble. “Don’t start that,” Anna says. She walks away from me sharply. “Arthur without Excalibur was still Arthur. "
93 " Why are you here? Did you come to try to kill me again?” “Oddly enough, no. I—I had a bad dream. I needed to talk to someone. "
94 " I jerk my head toward Thomas and immediately curse myself for trying to be a smartass. My head is not healthy enough for smartassery. "
95 " Would you rather be a Trojan or a tiger?”… “Now what’s this about condoms or tigers? "
96 " What luck. I chose the douche-y sounding one. "
97 " If people knew what I was up to, they'd probably try to stop me. The idiots would take Casper's side, and then I'd have to kill Casper and them after Casper bit their throats out. I'm no superhero. "
98 " I’m dead. I can’t be all right any more than I can be not all right. "
99 " Every gift is light and dark. "

100 " I should've known Gideon would spill. He's like a surrogate parent. Not like a stepfather, exactly - more like a godfather, or a sea horse who wants to stuff me into his pouch. "
