81 " As we look at each other, something inside me is trying to click, trying to fall into place. I feel it in my mind and in my chest, like a puzzle piece you know has to go somewhere so you keep trying to push it in from all different angles. And then, just like that, it fits. So perfect and complete that you can't imagine how it was without it there, even seconds ago. "
― Kendare Blake , Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1)
82 " I knew they were cruel. Maybe I felt … sorry for him.” I snort. “Sorry for me? I could’ve handled those guys.” “They smashed the back of your head in with a board from my house. "
83 " By the time I had gotten off the phone, I knew that I was going after Anna. My gut told me that she wasn't just a story. And besides, I wanted to see her, dressed in blood. "
84 " Don’t be afraid of the dark, Cas. But don’t let them tell you that everything that’s there in the dark is also there inthe light. It isn’t. "
85 " Will Carmel eventually forget about this adventurous time with us? Will she shun Thomas and go back to being the center of SWC? She wouldn’t do that, would she? I mean, she did just compare me to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My opinion of her isn’t the highest right now. "
86 " The state of shock is losing itscharm. I want my brain back. Can’t it just shake itself off likea dog already and get back to work? "
87 " I’m staring at Anna’s house again. The logical part of my brain tells me that it’s just a house. That it’s what’s inside that makes it horrifying, that makes it dangerous, that it can’t possibly be tilting toward me like it’s hunting me through the overgrowth of weeds. It can’t possibly be trying to jerk free of its foundation and swallow me whole. But that’s what it looks like it’s doing. "
88 " I sigh. “So now what? Can I possibly tell you to go home and forget about this? Is there any way that I can avoid us forming some peppy group of—” Before my mouth can finish, I lean forward and groan into my hands. Carmel gets it first, and laughs. “A peppy group of ghostbusters?” she asks. "
89 " But somewhere out there is the one that matters. Somewhere out there is the one that I came for, one who is strong enough to squeeze the breath out of living throats.I think of her again. Anna. Anna Dressed in Blood. "
90 " Sweetheart, my father and I have put more ghosts in the ground than you can count. "
91 " You guys didn’t try to do anything to me,” I say honestly. “You brought me to a house because you wanted to freak me out. You didn’t know that your friend would wind up getting torn in half and disemboweled. "
92 " When he realizes that Carmel’s standing behind me, he quickly checks his face for drool and tries to smooth his hair down. Unsuccessfully. "
93 " Part of her followed him, wherever it was that he went. "
94 " If your mom's a witch, what does that make you? Harry Potter? "
95 " Having no choice doesn’t seem fair.But having all of them isn’t really easier. "
96 " I even had this idea that the knife stopped working, that after a certain time it just stops working for you, when your number is up. I thought maybe it was me who had done it. That I killed him just by growing older, and being ready to replace him. "
97 " I feel … sane. Is that possible? "
98 " Tú me haces querer cosas que no puedo tener -Anna "
99 " What is it about the sight of your mother that makes everything fireside-warm and full of dancing Muppets? "
100 " If I allowed it, he'd strap on a proton pack and follow me around the country "
