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...
What's the point in answering, Warden? It's obvious that you've already tried and convicted me. If I tell you I am involved, you will believe me guilty. If I tell you I am not involved, you will belie...
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.
Yeah, chocolate. Chocolate fends off all kinds of nasty stuff. And if you get hungry while warding off evil, you have a snack. It’s multipurpose equipment. One
Lord, Michael said. We walk into darkness now. Our enemies will surround us. Please help to make us strong enough to do what needs to be done. Amen.
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.
What we hadn’t known about, back then, was pain. Sure, we’d faced some things as children that a lot of kids don’t. Sure, Justin had qualified for his Junior de Sade Badge in his teaching methods for...
Maybe my values are outdated, but I come from an old school of thought.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...
Michael watched my face closely as we carried her. What? I asked. You aren’t angry, he said. That she’s hurt. Like hell I’m not, I said. It’s coming. After we take care of her. When it’s time. Michael...

My brother threw up his hands. What does a woman need to do, Harry? Rip her clothes off, throw herself on top of you, and shimmy while screaming, 'Do me, baby!'? he shook his head. Sometimes you're a...
My double snorted. That’s good. That really is, the banter thing. I can’t do the banter very well. Maybe that’s why you’re in charge. Of course, if I was in charge more often, you’d get laid a lot mor...
