Eve Silver QUOTES

1 " We can’t spend our lives wondering, ‘what if?’ We must simply make the best of what we have. -Lady Mary Wynne-Jones "

― Eve Silver , Dark Desires

2 " Mal dragged the last few inches of the sword free of his flesh, wincing at the raw pain. She's stabbed him. She'd f**king pinned him to the wall like a bug. She'd fed from him and used his own blood and power against him. He hadn't seen that coming. He was both affronted by - and admiring of - her resourcefulness. "

3 " Of course. I died today, and now I'm going to fight aliens with a light saber. Maybe after that we can look for mermaids. Or unicorns."

"No," he says. "Just aliens."

Was that the barest hint of humour in his tone? "

― Eve Silver , Rush (The Game, #1)

4 " This all feels so familiar. Jackson said a lot of these things to me the first time I got pulled. I didn't understand any of it then. I didn't understand him. But now I do. He'll tell each of us to be selfish, to watch our own backs and no one else's, but he'll be wholly unselfish, watching out for all of us, expecting no one to watch out for him. "

― Eve Silver , Push (The Game, #2)

5 " What are you doing?"

"Activating it."

"Uh... No you're not." I jerk my hand away. "You're not activating anything until I get some answers."

"Yeah, I am. If I don't activate it, it explodes." He sounds dead serious.

"For real?"

He doesn't answer, and that pisses me off. But I can't be certain it isn't for real, and since I'm fond of having a hand at the end of my arm, I offer my wrist. He finishes running his fingers over the screen.

I change direction and ask, "Would the bracelet really have exploded if you didn't activate it?"

There's a slight pause that makes me think I've surprised him by shifting topics. Good. Better that I have him on his toes than he have me on mine.

"No," he says, and I think the corners of his mouth twitch in the hint if a smile. "

6 " This isn't a game," he repeats. It's real. What you do here determines your survival. He pauses. "And the survival of every other person on this planet.
I laugh.
He doesn't.
And that tells me he's either serious or seriously crazy. Please let him be crazy. "

― Eve Silver

7 " Here's my philosophy. Adopt it, and you'll make it out alive. Every man for himself. You watch your own ass. Your con goes orange? You fall back to defensive position. No heroics. And no stupidity. Got it? "

― Eve Silver , Push (The Game, #2)

8 " You can't recognize true joy if you've never known heartbreak.

Pain makes you stronger.

Fear makes you braver.

You can't know hope if you've never known despair. "

― Eve Silver , Crash (The Game, #3)

9 " Fire bursts inside me. My lips part under his. Coming up on my toes, I fist my hands in his hair and kiss him back, sharing the flames that lick at my soul. I breathe as he breathes, liquid heat in my veins.

He kisses me like I am water and he is parched. He is gentle and rough, taking and giving. In that moment, his kiss is all I know, all I ever want to know.

I come up higher on my toes and my lips cling to his as he pulls away. I'm left shaken and out of my element. I've never been kissed like that. I never imagined such a kiss existed. "

10 " This isn't a game," he repeats. "It's real. What you do here determines your survival." He pauses. "And the survival of every other person on this planet."
I laugh.
He doesn't.
And that tells me he's either serious or seriously crazy. Please let him be crazy. "

11 " I believed that letting someone in, caring about them... it gives them power over you, whether they plan it that way or not. It gives them the power to leave, to hurt you. But living, really living, is messy and sometimes ugly and it hurts. "

― Eve Silver , Crash (The Game, #3)

12 " would she be snared forever in "

― Eve Silver , Dark Desires

13 " You stay close to me, Mikki Jones. Close enough that I can hear you breathe. Got it? "

"You always take care of new recruits?"

"Never "

― Eve Silver , Rush (The Game, #1)

14 " A terrible thing, is it not, when a woman is passed over, left unclaimed like unwanted baggage. "

― Eve Silver , Dark Desires

15 " You once thought that I robbed graves, but in truth ‘tis you who are the resurrectionist, you who have lifted me from my living tomb. "

― Eve Silver , Dark Desires

16 " Better to hold the world at arm’s length than to fail on such a catastrophic level. How much easier it was to let myself feel nothing and to let no one have expectations of me, expectations that I would only disappoint. "

― Eve Silver , Dark Desires

17 " Once she had believed in dreams and fairy tales, had relied on a gossamer web woven of privilege and fantasy. Now, she believed only in the harsh reality of life, relied only on her own ingenuity. "

― Eve Silver , Dark Desires

18 " I look down and feel a sort of distant horror as I see a body that is mine but not mine. My limbs are bent at odd angles. Shards of bone poke out though my skin. When I try to move, I realize that I feel no pain because I feel nothing. Nothing at all. And no matter how hard I try, I can't move anything but my head.

I'm broken, like Luka. Broken and bloody.

The thought feels hazy, as though it ought to mean more to me than it does. "

― Eve Silver , Rush (The Game, #1)

19 " Eyes closed, I concentrate on visualizing a sandy beach and slowing my breathing—in through my nose, hold, out through my mouth—the way Dr. Andrews, my grief counselor, taught me. I've done this often enough to know it works. I've used it to numb the panic and sorrow for the past two years. Problem is, I've also succeeded in dulling pretty much every other emotion. There's always a price. "

― Eve Silver , Rush (The Game, #1)

20 " The aura of his soul. She’d seen them before when she’d guided the dead. But she’d never seen one quite like this, darkness and light blending to a color and texture that was both frightening and beautiful. "

― Eve Silver , Body of Sin (The Sins Series, #4)
