1 " As special as it is to listen to your friends argue over whether or not you have a mental illness,I'm starting to get the urge to go back to class. "
― Kendare Blake , Girl of Nightmares (Anna, #2)
2 " I want to get some sleep, so if there's something mind-numbingly disturbing you want to show me, can we just get it over with? "
3 " In afew hours, she’ll see Anna for herself. She’ll seeher dressed in blood, her hair floating like it’ssuspended in water, eyes black and shining. Andwhen she does, she won’t be able to catch herbreath. "
4 " I think I killed a girl who looked like this once. "
5 " It crouches like a spider, waiting for us ti get close enough, pretending to be inanimate. "
6 " What do you think the Order is going to do?" he asks. "Help us open a door to Hell, if we're lucky," I reply. Lucky. Ha ha. The irony. "
7 " But this hunch is all we have to go on, and every time I question him about feasibility, he smiles at me like he's Yoda and I'm just a dumbass without the Force. "
8 " Every time I question him about the feasibility, he smiles at me like he's Yoda and I'm just a dumbass without the Force. "
9 " She crossed over death to call me. I crossed through Hell to find her. "
10 " What?" she asks, but I don't answer. Instead I kiss her, one time, and try to tell her in that single gesture everything that she'll forget as soon as she turns away. I tell her I love her. I tell her I'll miss her. And then I let her go. "
11 " Jesus. I have become the thing they call the third wheel. "
12 " I don't care what your name is," she hisses. "And I don't care who you are. If you don't get him some help, I will burn your fucking place down." Go Carmel. "
13 " All this faux flattery. It's not enough to make me forget he's a dick. Admittedly, though, he's sort of a charismatic dick. "
14 " He almost killed my friends. Fuck that guy. "
15 " She glares at me resentfully, like I'm being unfair. But she's probably going to try to kill me, and kill me righteously, so eff you very much. "
16 " In the sixth row of the theater, in the third chair in, Anna winks at me. Or maybe she just blinks. I can't tell. She's missing half of her face. "
17 " I've sort of been slacking off in my voodoo studies.I've trigonometry, you know? "
18 " It's the twenty-first century. Arriving to find a bunch of old dudes in brown robes would be equally weird. "
19 " Chef?" Carmel exclaims. "I could give a shit about a chef. I'm going to find the most expensive thing in that kitchen, eat one bite, and throw the rest on the floor. Then I'm going to break some plates. "
20 " I love her.” “She’s dead.” “That doesn’t mean to me what it does to other people. "
