21 " I have to kiss her again; I start with her lips. When I taste her on my tongue, I want more. I need more. Tugging on her bottom lip with mine elicits a soft groan of pleasure from her. I live in the sound of it.When our bodies fit together, like pieces falling into place, I’m nearly undone by it and by her eyes. They narrow and her forehead leans forward to rest against mine. Through her eyes, I can almost see inside her soul. That’s where I long to be: centered near her soul, wedged between it and her heart. ~ Reed's POV "

22 " Ye're na meant for a tepid existence, so maybe 'tis time ta leave da sandbox. Brennus "
23 " To ache from the knowledge that I may never hold you again - to count the moments, like grains of sand, while we were parted only to escape the sky and find that you still only know me as a boy from school... "
24 " I’m not forgiveness and redemption. I’m violent retaliation and vengeance. "
25 " Reece…Reed…isn’t that a silly coincidence?” he asks, his mouth twisting in a grim smile that neither reaches his blue eye nor his green one. "
26 " What am I?” I ask. “Unforgettable,” Reed replies. “You’re art that cannot be concealed… danger that cannot be tamed…love that cannot be measured… a new law that denies a probable outcome. "
27 " I lose myself in her: her scent, her touch, and the taste of her. I will never get enough. "
28 " He can still taste you on his lips, smell your scent in his memory, remember when you smiled just for him, and the thought of never having that again is…harrowing. So, he’s willing to hurt you because he’s focusing on the pain to try to kill everything that you were to him…so that he can survive it. "
29 " I do what I always do when the day has shown me its worst: I make do. "
30 " Would you mind telling Xavier that ifhe doesn’t want to become an albatross,he should stop laughing,” Evie mutters,which only makes him laugh harder. "
31 " He saw his entire future with you. When you left Brennus, Evie, he…” Reed’s voice is rough, and I pause, listening. “He was left with just his life as it was before you came into it and he…he realized that there is no life without you—nothing matters. You stole his life from him and it slowly began to take him apart. Everything else is the same, but it takes on such…drabness…you have no idea. "
32 " Ye have ta ask me dat? Ye do na know dat ye are all dat madders ta me? "
33 " The deafening euphony of thunder eulogizes silence "
34 " Her heart begins to sing to me, the Siren’s song that’s calling me to shipwreck. "
35 " But you can’t fight the next battle until it comes. You have to recognize the moments of grace and live in them. Fighting the invisible enemy will only lead to exhaustion. This moment is a gift of peace. Take it. "
36 " Hide the cracks in your armor, Evie,” Zephyr says softly in my ear. “Show them no emotion "
37 " Genevieve,” he says my name like a prayer, “me queen…me living darkness. "
38 " my blood, I pledge my fidelity, my loyalty, and my allegiance to you, and only you, under God. "
39 " Reed,” Zephyr says in a stiff voice. Looking up, the sky outside grows dark as swarms of angels gather in the skies above the big house.“Holy. Freakin’. Hell!” Russell says next to me. Windows in other parts of the house begin shattering, announcing the arrival of our evil guests. “I didn’t know it was my birthday!” Zephyr grins, like the Fallen amassing all around us is a gift to him. "
40 " She’s right,” Anya agrees. “You all are expendable and I will be punished. Our only chance is to kill the Gancanagh before they kill us.” Brownie’s voice is calm when she asks, “What do we do?” Anya’s eyebrow arches when she replies, “You get to distract the Seraphim.” “Sweetie, I have just the shoes for that,” Buns says with an evil grin.
