I didn’t think. I shoved Kenjii into the safe nook between the front seats and scrambled toward the door as the helicopter jolted again, righting itself.Daniel lunged for me and missed. Wind rushed in...
I didn’t know what my tormenters wanted from me, but apparently screaming like a girl wasn’t it, because they ramped it up to a form of torture seen only in sci-fi movies.
I could shave my head and wear a sackcloth and still get a whole lot of ghostly wrong numbers. Makes me wonder if there’s some kind of ghost-necro porn industry down there. ~Jaime Vegas
I could mentally lift the vision wholesale and stick it into the already overflowing crazy shit I’ll deal with later box in my brain.
I can't stop wanting to help, and by 'help,' I really mean guide, and by 'guide,' I really mean protect. That has nothing to do with you and whether you can take care of yourself. It's about me and wh...
I am going, I said.Not without me.Fine.But I'm not going. So neither are you.
Hunting humans for sport? Eating them? the bitterness in his voice cut through me. Yeah, I caught that part.That doesn't have anything to do with you?He lifted his eyes, gaze shuttered. No?Not unless...
His weekly golf game no longer keeps his love handles in check, he's recently resorted to a slight comb-over to cover that growing bald spot, he squints to avoid wearing the bifocals he hides in his d...
His voice sounded the same, now so familiar that I could follow the beat in my head, predicting each change of tone, each note of accentuation.
He watched as her sister read it. Watched as her face crumpled, as her shoulders shook. Ashy. Caught her and held her, and they fell against each other.

He swung his leg over and reached for me, pulling me into a kiss. He started slow, shifting, checking my balance. I backed up a little and swung my leg over, so we were both straddling.Better? I said....
He swallowed. Rubbed his neck again. Looked around. Then he motioned at the rock. Can we lie down again? I think I’ll do this better…If you’re talking to the sky?A half laugh, half snort. Yeah. Lame,...
He rolled his eyes. First, my Dad's Korean and my mom was Swedish. Second, I totally suck at math. I don't like cuckoo clocks or skiing or fancy chocolate either.I sputtered a laugh. I think that's Sw...
He glanced down at the blood-smeared cut on his side...and realized he wasn't wearing any clothing. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't realized it already. Kind of obvious. It wasn't like he'd been going...
Guin rode a few paces in thoughtful silence before continuing, I suppose they thought I would take measures to prevent pregnancy. However, to do such a thing requires knowing that it exists. I don't k...
Great. So if I saw a guy standing still, and he wasn't wearing an old uniform, I just had to ask him to walk through furniture. If he stared at me like I was crazy, then I'd know he wasn't a ghost. -...
Go, she said.Corey and I can carry you, Daniel said. Just grab on--Then three of us will get caught instead of one. Go.She pushed Daniel. When he hesitated, she shoved him hard enough to knock him off...
