I tried to picture a female version of Jim and got Jim in a dress instead. The image was disturbing.
I took a couple of forms from my desk, put them into the vamp’s mouth, and pulled them up by their edges.What are you doing? Ghastek asked.My hole puncher broke.You have no respect for the undead.I si...
I think of you a lot. Do you think of me, Andrea? Don’t lie to me.Yes! I snarled, my face burning. Yes, I do! All the time. I can’t get you out of myhead. I wish I could!He hugged me so hard, my bones...
I surveyed the rest of the Council and looked directly at Mahon. Some of you know me. Some of you have seen me fight and some of you are my friends. Have your vote. But know this: if you come to remov...
I started down the walkway. Two vampires vaulted out of the trenches in front of me, fangs bared. Oh look, it’s a party and everybody is invited. Good. I liked parties.
I stared at him. He didn’t look fazed. It took me a full ten seconds to realize he couldn’t see my psycho stare through the vampire’s eyes. Nice going there, champ.
I really would like to know, he said with genuine curiosity. The next time I kill someone, I’d like to do it in a way that doesn’t freak you out. How about you don’t kill anybody for a little bit? I c...
I had to wait in the lobby while Rene pretended to find my name on the roster of fighters. Fools, she said, flipping through the pages. Is that a description of your team’s intelligence or your need t...
I guess there wouldn’t be any harm in telling it this once, Raphael said.
I dropped all the guards. All the leashes, all the chains, everything that ever restrained me through the discipline and fear of discovery, I let it all go. No need to hide.
I don't know if you heard, but I kind of run this place.
I dipped my head so I could look into his eyes. The monster at my table looked ready to cry. I’d managed to make a teenager depressed. Maybe I could shoot some fish in a barrel for an encore.
I could’ve fallen for someone steady. Dependable. Well-grounded. But nooo, I had to lose my head over this idiot.
I closed my eyes.Are you okay?I’m tired. My knee is hurting again and I’m trying to teleport myself upstairs.Um, Kate, you can’t do that.I know. But I’m trying very hard. Let me know if I start fading...
I called the Keep, introduced myself to the disembodied female voice on the phone, and asked for the Beast Lord. In less than fifteen seconds Curran came on the line.I’m going into hiding with Jim.The...
I almost had her.Curran nodded. I heard. And you could've taken her, too.My voice came out flat. Rub it in, why don't you.He grinned. No time for that now, maybe later.I closed my eyes. There wouldn't...
Hugh reached out with his magic. The dog was a mess, torn and bitten, but a faint, barely-there heartbeat shivered in his chest. Hugh concentrated. This would be complicated. He knitted the organs tog...
How much did you hear?Everything that mattered.He nodded, his face unreadable. It is what it is. All cards are on the table.Not quite. I sat up.Oh?The real Rogan hasn't asked me.He frowned.I want the...
How much are you lifting?Seven hundred.Alrighty then. I will just stand over here, out of your way, and hope you don’t remember my promise to kick your ass.He grinned. Wanna spot me?No thanks. How abo...
How go the preparations for the wedding? Very well. How goes the world domination? It has its moments.
