Truth be told, my head was spinning so much that the car could have been doing interpretive dance in a lilac tutu and I might not have noticed.
My laboratory, I said, experimentally, drawing out each syllable. Why is it that saying it like that always makes me want to follow it with ‘mwoo-hah-hah-hah-hahhhhhh’?
Kincaid rounded the far corner. He was dressed in his customary black clothing again, fatigue pants, and a hunting jacket over body armor, and he had enough guns strapped to his body to outfit a terro...
Kincaid, evidently exhausted himself, drew a gun, took the safety off, placed it on his chest, and went to sleep too.It's cute, I whispered to Murphy. He has a teddy Glock.
You defy beings that should cow you into silence. You resist forces that are inevitable for no more reason than that you believe they should be resisted. You bow your head to neither demons nor angels...
Let me be clear that I never offered House Astor an insult... Nor did I insult Reginald. I simply described him in accurate terms. If he finds himself insulted by the truth, it's hardly my concern.
Life is easier when you can write off others as monsters, demon, as horrible threats that must be hated and feared the thing is you can't do that without becoming them, just a little.
Listen to me, I snarled. We are not going to die! Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. We’re not? No. And do you know why? He shook his head. Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And bec...
Littlemouse was in danger, doubtless a prisoner, and the humans could not be trusted to handle her rescue with appropriate violence. They might be willing to leave someone alive, and Rowl was not prep...
We’re a civilized society, are we not? Esterbrook blinked. Since when, miss? We’re a democracy. Just what I mean. We have dispensed with violence as a means of governing ourselves, have we not? The he...

Over the course of many encounters and many years, I have successfully developed a standard operating procedure for dealing with big, nasty monsters.Run away.
Mac folded his arms on the bar and looked at me intently and said, in a resonant baritone, You've got to be very careful, Harry.I looked at him, shocked. He'd...used grammar.
One rather thick volume was titled Means of Execution Through the Ages, and was placed with an elegant balance of nonchalance and availability at the eye level of anyone entering the room. As threats...
Maybe my values are outdated, but I come from an old school of thought. I think that men ought to treat women like something other than just shorter, weaker men with breasts.
Michael smiled at me a little. You’re a good man, Harry. But you’re making the same mistake Nicodemus always has—and the same one Karrin did. What mistake? You all think the critical word in the phras...
Michael titled his head. But . . . Uriel, if I were to misuse it . . . I would Fall, Uriel said quietly. I choked on the air. Holy crap. The last time an archangel Fell, I’m pretty sure there were ext...
