I’m not delusional, Aaron. I know he’s nearly six feet tall. Deo’s not a little kid to anyone but me. But I held him when he cried. When he a little kid. I promised him I’d keep the monsters away. Th...
It’s like saving up that perfect comeback you read in a book or heard on TV—it always sounds good in your head, but it never quite fits in real life.
An annoyed huff when he sees Trey suggests Max considers him an add-on rather than true Fifth Column. But he probably thinks the same about me. Too bad we can’t just step aside and let Max save the da...

You cannot hide from your heart, Kate. It always finds you. And, sadly, I cannot hide from mine.
The mistakes of one generation build upon the mistakes of the next and you get a society that no one really wanted.
Shut up! Dacia digs her nails into my skin. You do not do the talking. I do not need you to tell me about your other phantom . . . She waves her hands, like she can’t find the word. The dead-in-your-h...

After a few miles, I push play and the audiobook starts. It might be nice to ride through the night, believing in magic for a while, magic of either the Hogwarts variety or the Muggle sort that will k...
We’re about five steps down when he says, I feel like we’ve walked into a horror movie. Two teens sneak down to the basement, where the psycho killer lurks in the dark. If you’re trying to lighten the...

So why didn’t he vanish? Charlayne nods toward Kiernan. After Max took his key, he should have disappeared, right?I would have, Kiernan says, except someone was wise enough to give me a backup when I...
