Ashlee Nicole Bye QUOTES

1 " Honestly, you make one tiny mistake and they hold it over you for the rest of your days!'
'You started World War I!'
'That is a LIE, sir! ...War was inevitable anyway, but what was i supposed to do--let that swindler Ferdinand get away with cheating me in cards? I think NOT!' He shook his fist in a comically threatening gesture. "

2 " Okay, I have unfrozen the humans and adjusted their memories.'
Beezlebub pouted. 'Buzzkill--I was just giving the people what they wanted.'
Thor's look-a-like rolled his eyes. 'I do not believe singing along to a '90s rap song should have been construed as an invitation to turn them to ice. "

3 " Sachi scowled. ‘I saw your tattoos, I read the book, I know all about this Order of Dark and Light thingy—so what is it then? You drink blood out of people’s skulls?’
‘Dan Brown has a lot to answer for,’ Moss said on a sigh. "

4 " Only six? Mon Dieu!’ Cleo ceased her pacing and whirled around to face the two Trackers, eyes narrowed, hands on hips. ‘I suppose this is all rather exciting for the two of you, non?’ Cleo’s usually melodic French accent was growing sharper and sharper in pitch with every word. ‘You…’—she nodded at Moss—‘finally get to see some action! And you…’—she turned her attention to Julian, hazel eyes narrowed—‘I know you loathed Iceland, and poof! here you are, back with your buddy, enjoying the sunshine!’
Julian and Moss exchanged exasperated glances.
‘Meanwhile, all of my hard work is going to waste. Do you know how difficult it is to manipulate a person’s lifeline? Hmm? To set up every single tiny decision and event so that they get to their death at the right time? And so that they die in exactly the right way?’ She glanced from one boy to the other as if daring them to contradict her. ‘There’s a reason we assign natural deaths and accidents to certain people and murders to others! This girl was supposed to die in an accident—now the lifelines of everyone around her have changed. Everything is out of balance.' She threw her hands up. 'Again! "

5 " He ran his eyes carefully over her face. ‘Do you trust me, love?’
Well, that was a loaded question if she’d ever heard one. He had saved her life, yes, but something about him warned her to stay on her guard. After considering the situation, she shook her head. ‘I’m grateful you saved me and everything, but no, sorry, I don’t trust you.’
Griffin’s eyes flashed, the corner of his mouth turning up with amusement. ‘Smart girl.’
And then all Sachi could feel was cold, icy fire as Griffin’s sword tore through her chest, burying itself in her heart. "

6 " His mouth curled into a derisive smirk. ‘You overestimate your value to me. In the grand scheme of things, love, you are nothing more than a chess piece. The more convenient option, yes, but not the only one open to me. "

7 " Sentimentality was a weakness begging to be exploited. "

8 " What is it with you people? Why are you all so stabby and kidnappy? "

― Ashlee Nicole Bye , Out of the Shadows (Shadowlands, #1)

9 " I haven’t asked you to trust me,’ he said. ‘In fact, I would advise you against it. The moment you place your trust in someone is the moment you become vulnerable to that person. "

10 " You don't look pleased to see me, love? And here i thought we had such a lovely evening the other night.'
Sachi rolled her eyes. 'You mean after you killed me?'
'Yes. After that. "

12 " 'Are you capable of constructing sentences without the use of sarcasm?

Occasionally "

13 " some chess pieces are quite valuable "

14 " It wasn’t all a lie,’ she said in a quiet voice. ‘The way I felt about you was real. "

15 " Once, there was nothing but shadows. An entire world made only of darkness, absent of all light.
One day, so it is said, a star exploded to set the darkness aflame and with the light came life. Creatures of all shapes and sizes came into existence, with names like angel, demon, faery, and dragon. They existed together peacefully, these new creatures of The Shadowlands. Until, eventually, they did not… "

16 " Julian looked at her sharply, his grey eyes like steel knives cutting through to the bone. ‘Do you think I do not know what it is to mourn a loved one? Do you think in a hundred and fifty years I’ve not lost anybody close to me? "

― Ashlee Nicole Bye , Out of the Shadows (Shadowlands, #1)

17 " Why must I always be cast as the psychopath? "

― Ashlee Nicole Bye , Out of the Shadows (Shadowlands, #1)

18 " For so long she'd wanted to touch this work of art that was this boy, this too beautiful to be real creation, and now her hands were refusing to be patient. "

19 " As she craned her neck further she finally saw his face. She knew her mouth must have been gaping open like a clown in a ball toss game but she couldn't help it. His face was without a doubt the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. It was the kind of face that should have been gracing the pages of magazines, not the sidewalks of suburban Melbourne. The kind of face that made her yearn for her sketchbook and pencil.

He couldn't have been more than a year or two older than Sachi was, with dishwater blonde hair cut short and styled meticulously, a pointed jaw and hollow cheeks. His eyes were the colour of storm clouds and framed by lashes any girl would kill for.

He was a contradiction of sharp edges and porcelain smooth. He could have been carved out of marble. He couldn't be real. "
