21 " Oh, you're good."Akil narrowed his eyes. "You must have me confused with another sociopathic demon. "
― Pippa DaCosta , Darkest Before Dawn (The Veil, #3)
22 " I'm just a wretched half-blood girl caught in a storm."Akil tasted his wine and smiled. "Muse, you are the storm. "
23 " You were a crushed and broken thing, like a butterfly crumpled in the hand of a child. "

24 " The lust for chaos wrenched reason from my mind. She wanted the power I’d called before. She wanted to burn it all; to slice open the veil and summon the fires of hell to dance for her. She burned for it, and so did I." ~ Muse "

26 " Half demon, half human, wholly f*cked." ~ Muse "
27 " I'd seen this movie. This was the part where the dinosaurs ate the tourists. "

28 " Next time I'm taking down hellhounds for you, I'll remember to tone down the pretty. "
29 " When demons call you the Mother of Destruction, sh*t gets real." Muse. "
30 " Sometimes there is no right thing. Sometimes wrong wins, and that's okay. Life doesn't have cooker-cutters for right and wrong, Ryder. There's that messy gray area in between, and I sure hope I'm not the one staring down the barrel of your gun when you figure that out." Muse ~ Darkest Before Dawn. #3 The Veil Series "
31 " You think this is funny?” I snorted. “You would. Your sense of humor is so dark, even the lesser demons don’t get you. "
32 " What kind of fairytale ends with the Prince trying to flay the Princess?” “Is that what you are? A Princess?” Laughter danced with the light in his eyes. “Go to hell.” He pursed his lips then worked them together as though fighting his own words. “I wasn’t aware the fairytale was over.” He snorted a laugh. I crossed my arms and shot him a look. “You’re in denial.” “Denial? I’m the Prince of Greed. I don’t recognize denial.” “I noticed. "
33 " Hell, even Akil had sent demon-nasties after me in the past, although he appeared to have resolved his homicidal tendencies since I’d literally sucked the life out of him. "
34 " Surely the Prince of Greed and the Mother of Destruction can kick some demon-ass back to the netherworld. It might mess up your street-cred, but I’m sure an ego the size of yours can take it. Once we’ve averted disaster, you can go back to being the slippery, back-stabbing son-of-a-bitch I know so well. "
35 " Akil’s sexy-as-sin picture could be plastered all over the tabloids. He wouldn’t like that. His halo would slip in the eyes of the Boston public. Never mind that his tarnished halo hung on devil horns. "
36 " Speaking Akil’s name around Stefan felt like throwing gasoline on a bushfire." ~ Muse "
37 " Being human was a lot more difficult than it looked. Demon was easy. Demon was simple. Human was…terrifying." Muse "

38 " Muse is not to be so easily dismissed. She is quite capable of turning your insides to ash before you can draw breath to apologize. "
39 " He stood in my quaint kitchen, looking somewhere between intrigued and mildly bored, the picture of sophisticated elegance in his obscenely expensive suit. Cufflinks reflected the light while his eyes captured it. Immortal. Ageless. Infinite. So toxic, he should come with a danger-of-death warning sign. "
40 " Sometimes, when you sleep with the enemy, waking up is the hardest part." ~ Muse "
