1 " Join us next time for Days of the Undead when Rachel learns her long lost brother is really a crown prince from outer space. "
― Kim Harrison , Every Which Way But Dead (The Hollows, #3)
2 " And then there are the rare ones who know love, who understand it. Who freely give of themselves, demanding only a return of that love,that trust. "
3 " Ivy!' I stammered, then glared at Kisten. 'You told Ivy? Thanks a hell of a lot. Want to call my mom next? "
4 " You look like the vamp who bled the cat. "
5 " You had this all planned, didn’t you?' I accused. 'Thought you could come in here and seduce me like you do everyone else?' It wasn’t as if I could be angry, lying atop him as I was, but I tried. "
6 " Mistakes can be fixed but if you do it more than once, it's no longer a mistake. "
7 " Hey, ah, does anyone want a cookie or something? Oh yeah. A cookie. That would make everything better. Dunked in a shot of tequila , maybe? Or better yet, just the bottle? Yeah, that ought to do it. "
8 " Hey, you freakin' bastard," I breathed. "You hit me again and I'll take care of your family planning. "
9 " the mad have a grace all their own "
10 " Typical" Kisten said, his eyes dramatically sad. "Try to do something nice for a person, cheer her up, and what do I get? Abused and robbed. "
11 " Shut up," I hissed. Ticked that he was taller than me, I stepped up onto a nearby coffee table. "I'm not in a cage anymore," I said, keeping enough presence of mind not to poke him in the chest with a finger. His face went startled, then cloric. "The only thing between your head and my foot becoming real close and personal right now is my questionable professionalism. And if you ever threaten me again, I'll slam you halfway across the room before you can say number-two pencil. Got it, you tall freak of nature? "
12 " Coffee. I could smell coffee. Coffee would make everything better. "
13 " ..."We were the pair. One too afraid to feel anything lest she lose control of her ironclad hold on her emotions, and the other so hungry to feel anything that she´d risk her free will for one night of fun."... "
14 " I thought it odd that the woman was over a thousand years old but thought the microwave was primitive. "
15 " I'll always be here," he said softly. "You can never fill my need, never drive me away, no matter how much you give me. The good or the bad. I'll always be hungry for emotion, always and forever, and I can feel you hurting. I can turn it to joy. If you'll let me. "
16 " Algaliarept varied its shape, sifting through my mind without me even knowing to choose what scared me the most. Once it had been Ivy. Then Kisten —until I had pinned him in an elevator in a foolish moment of vampire-induced passion. It's hard to be scared of someone after you've French-kissed him. "
17 " How many mistakes can one life survive? "
18 " I felt my shoulders ease at her admission. She was going to do what she had to do, and I was going to do what I had to do. And Ivy? Ivy was going to go insane. "
19 " I jerked to a stop at the door to my room. "What's wrong with my boots?" I said, thinking they were the only thing that I was going to keep on. Ah…the only thing from this outfit, not the only thing total. "
20 " But she can't stay here. The woman needs normal, and Rachel? We aren't it. "
