1 " I only snatched him to get your attention,” I said. “Now that I’ve got it, this is what I want.”“Damn my dame!” Al shouted, hands raised to the ceiling. “I knew it! Not another list! "

2 " Nothing is so hard that it can't be found by searching. "
3 " Five trolls in a dra-a-a-a-ag,' the four-inch man sang from my shoulder. 'Four purple condoms, three French ticklers, two horny vamps and a succubus in the snow. "
4 " ...Everyone had to eat, but eating people wasn't polite. "
5 " Don’t you listen to them, Rexy,” I cooed, and the cat sniffed my nose. “Rachel is a smart girl. She’s not going to go out with a ghost no matter how sexy he is. She knows better. Jenkskie wenskie can just get bent.” I beamed at Jenks, and he made an ugly face. “Rache, put my cat down before you mess with her kitty brain. "
6 " Rachel, you summon demons. You’re good at it. Get over it, then find a way to make it work for you. It’s not going to go away. "
7 " Maybe I could be friends with a ghost. I wouldn’t be able to kill him. "
8 " I’d given up on the white picket fence after Kisten had died—finding out my kids would be demons was the nail in the coffin. "
9 " she thought I could find a way to save her soul when she died and became an undead. Right now, I was just looking to find the rent money. I’d get to my roommate’s soul later. "
10 " Looking at everything, I started to feel nauseous, as if the seventies had taken refuge here against extinction and were preparing to take over the world. "
11 " I can think of a lot of things to do," he said, "and none of them involve standing up. - Al "
12 " It was starting to smell really good in here. And if I liked what it smelled like, then they were liking what they were smelling, and ah…that would be me. "
13 " Al brought his attention back down from the ceiling. “You really don’t want to have sex with him? Why? What’s wrong with him? "
14 " The small gargoyle had gone entirely white to match the ceiling, and only the rims of his ears, his long clawlike nails, and a thick stripe down his whip-like tail were still gray. He was crawling along the ceiling like a bat, wings held to make sharp angles and claws extended. It just about broke my creepy meter. "
15 " Ivy still had her tree up in the living room, and we exchanged presents when we felt like it, not on a specific date. Usually that was about an hour after I got back from shopping. Delayed gratification was Ivy’s thing, not mine. "
16 " Tom is trying to tag a banshee? By himself? Go for it, coffin bait. "
17 " Holy dust,” I murmured, looking for it among the clutter. Jenks’s wings hummed and he dropped to hover over the envelope that I’d gathered from the slats under my bed, the only place the pixies didn’t clean. It was on sanctified ground, so I figured it was holy enough. And God knew my bed hadn’t seen any action lately. "
18 " I'd rather judge a person on why they make the choices they do rather than the cold facts of what they choose. "
19 " Not alone, echoed in my mind. Go. I’ll bring you back. (Ford to Rachel) "
20 " Shove it up your ass and make a breath mint out of it! "
