Quote of the Day 9/22

“‘It’s weird, isn’t it?’
‘What is?’
‘Treaties and all that. It’s like we woke up one morning and we weren’t supposed to be enemies anymore. It’ll take some getting used to.’
‘True,’ I said. ‘I think it’s really cool though.’
‘Unfortunately, not everyone agrees.’
I thought of my grandfather and what he would do if he could see me now. ‘I know. But it’s worth protecting.’
‘Yes,’ he said, and something about the way he was looking at me made me think he was talking specifically about me. ‘It is.'”

Quote of the Day 3/31

“‘It seems only fair,’ Matthew continued. ‘A bit of karma, if you will.’ He twirled the stake again. ‘Shall we see how long you scream?’
‘Are you ever going to shut up?’ I snapped, fear and irritation filling me in equal measures. ‘This isn’t your monologue, Hamlet. It’s the battle scene, in case you’ve forgotten.’
His eyes narrowed so fast they nearly sparked. They were the color of honey on fire. One of the others growled like an animal, low in his throat. It made all the hairs on my arms stand straight up.
I was going to die for making fun of Shakespeare.
My English Lit professor would be so proud.”

Quote of the Day 2/11

“You should see some of the stuff she keeps.” He shuddered. I couldn’t help but be curious.
“Like what?”
“Finger bones.”
“Um … ew.”
“You want ew? She keeps them in an old Cadbury box. Try being seven years old and thinking you found the jackpot secret stash of chocolate. Talk about a rude awakening.”

Quote of the Day 12/3

“Where is Nicholas?” Kieran asked.
“He’s locked in a closet,” Lucy said with grim satisfaction. After a moment of stunned silence, Quinn snorted out a laugh.
“You locked your boyfriend in a closet?” I asked.
“Cool,” Chloe approved. The rhinestones on her earrings caught the blue lantern light.
Lucy shrugged. “Serves him right. He locked me in there last week.”

Quote of the Day 10/26

“I’m here to take you on a date.”
I blinked. “A date?” I repeated as if it was a foreign word I’d never heard before.
“You know, where we go out, hold hands, cast longing glances at each other? It’s tradition. You might have heard of it.”
“But I have class.”
“Class?” Now he was looking at me as if I was speaking a different language. “But it’s ten o’clock at night.”
“We have classes until midnight.” I smiled pointedly. “The thing about vampires is that they kind of like the night. It’s tradition. You might have heard of it?”
“Oh, smart mouth.” He grinned back. “Sexy.”
