The warlock's gaze, on the flames, was remote and distant, as if he were looking back into the past. Simon couldn't help but remember what Magnus had said to him once, about living forever:Someday you...
The choices we make, make us.
Shadowhunters were brought up to handle anything, weren't they?
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is as strong as death'Ours is stronger than that, Clary whispered, remembering how she had brought him back. And this time, when h...
Of course, everyone's going to freak out when you show up at school.Freak out? Why?Because you're so much hotter now than when you left. She shrugged. It's true. Must be a vampire thing.Simon looked b...
Maybe that was why she couldn't cry, she realized, staring dry-eyed at the ceiling. Because what was the point in crying when there was no one there to comfort you? And what was worse, when you couldn...

Jem I have an assignmation in Soho this evening with a certain attractive someone.Tessa: Goodness. If you keep seeing Six-Fingered Nigel like this, he'll expect you to declare your intentions.Jem chok...
Jace's eyes sparkled, but he said calmly, Not at all. the Silent Brothers can help her retrieve her memories.You hate the Silent Brothers, protested Isabelle.I don't hate them, said Jace candidly.I'm...

I know it's wrong - God, it's all kinds of wrong - but I just want to lie down with you and wake up with you, just once, just once ever in my life.
I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow...
How awfully convenient for you, regardless. And for him. He won't have to worry about you spilling his secrets.Yeah, Jace said. He's terrified I'll tell everyone that he's always wanted to be a baller...
Hey, pretty thing, he said. What's in the bag?Holy water, said Jace, reappearing beside her as if he'd been conjured up like a genie. A sarcastic blond genie with a bad attitude.Oooh, a Shadowhunter,...
