After Death (Cemetery Tours #3) QUOTES

1 " Showmen's Rest was truly something to behold. Throughout the entire yard, statues and carvings of elephants, clowns, and tight-rope walkers danced on the gray and white surfaces of tombstones and grave-markers. For the first time, Michael got the feeling that the men and women who'd been buried there were probably really happy with their final resting place. It was a touching tribute, one that honored their passion in life and that had been constructed out of love and respect. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

2 " Michael had always thought that seeing ghosts was stressful. Those wandering spirits were nothing compared to whatever women had going through their heads at all odd hours of the day. "

3 " There is no such thing as perfect. But even if there was, I would pick you over perfection any day. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

4 " Being haunted was kind of like having a puppy. You had to walk it, play with it, and leave the TV on so it wouldn’t get lonely. The only difference was that everyone wanted a puppy. Michael didn’t know anyone, except maybe Luke, who wanted a pet ghost. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

5 " Oh, no. Something was terribly, terribly wrong. All his life, Michael had tried to distance himself from the paranormal. He valued the ordinary and never sought to stick his nose in places it didn’t belong. But now Luke had him thinking that it might be cool to participate in one of his ridiculous EVP sessions. "

6 " For as long as he could remember, Michael had felt caught somewhere between the world of the living and the world of the dead. But in everything he thought and everything he did, he'd always chosen life. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

7 " Death never plays by the rules. And I think that's why we, as mortal beings, fear it so much. Not because it's an inevitability, but because it's so unpredictable. We all know it's coming for us. We can just never be sure exactly when. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

8 " It was easy to forget that the real ghost stories had little to do with that cinematic nonsense and everything to do with the human experience: life, love, loss, faith, redemption. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

9 " The point is when you're involved with the paranormal, don't be surprised when the paranormal gets involved with you. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

10 " Hey, we’re at the circus! Chances are there’s at least one psychic running around here. And when I say psychic, I mean like a real one. Not a poser like you who can only talk to dead people and do absolutely nothing else. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

11 " What? You think that just because a woman doesn’t have a heartbeat, she can’t make a man fall in love with her? "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

12 " They tell you all the time that life isn’t fair. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past twenty-eight years, it’s that death is even less fair. It’s the one thing in the world that doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care who you are, how much money you have, what you’ve done in life. It can come for you any time it wants. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

13 " Here in my circus, death comes to life! "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

14 " You might be the only good thing in his sad, miserable life, Kate, but you’re also his downfall. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

15 " Yeah, but freak accidents don’t just happen. Not to you, anyway,” Brink reminded him. “With you, it’s always going to be something weird. "

― Jacqueline E. Smith , After Death (Cemetery Tours #3)

16 " The whole idea of casting out was brutal and unfair. Death didn’t dehumanize these spirits. Centuries of superstitions and rituals and ghost stories had done that, turning innocent souls into monsters in the minds of the living. "
