Quotes edit see section history

• “Mmmmm...cake...”

  Jane True

• “To you, Jane, and to Valentine's Day. That most romantic of massacres,”

  Ryu

• “Nell had gone Yoda if he were on PCP, had been saving up his force for about six months, and had some serious anger-management issues.”

  Jane True

• “They'd genuinely thought he was some Rosemary's baby devil-child and had code named him "Firecrotch," a stonkingly inappropriate name for a being one supposes is the Antichrist.”

  Jane True

• “Well, 'frabjous' is my favorite word. And I feel both ironic and less metrosexual when I say 'frabjous' instead of 'fabulous.'”

  Anyan

• Popular Highlights from Kindle Customers

• “Because I think that sometimes, when you really love somebody, you don't ask them for the kind of compromise that is actually a sacrifice. The kind where one person gives up everything they have, everything they are, just so they can be with the other person. And you certainly don't expect that shit. You don't expect someone to prove their love. To love you that little bit more than you love them.”

• Unlike me, however, hers was a terrifying form of tiny: the tiny of poisonous spiders, plastic explosives, or the Olsen twins.

• I couldn't give him my whole life. And that's what he wanted from me. He wanted everything, and I wanted him to love me for what I had already offered.”

• I shrieked incoherent, made-up swear words as the pain stopped messing around, bent me over, and made me its bitch.

• “So she finally comes up with her wallet and pays for her book. As she's putting her stuff away, Jane says, ‘By the way, Linda. The people at Prada are not ‘mad in China,' pointing at the label inside that damned purse. Which, sure enough, says MAD IN CHINA. I nearly died. Then Jane goes for the kill with, ‘They're perfectly content in Italy.’”

• Right now, the otherwise very sophisticated vampire by my side had a mouth saying “I'm so glad you're here, Miss True.” But what his eyebrows were saying was “I'ma rock yo' shit, shorty.”

• And, oh, dear gods, was I wrong to underestimate her. Still hovering above Trill, protecting her friend with shields that would make Fort Knox envious, Nell had gone full-on Yoda. Check that: Nell had gone Yoda if he were on PCP, had been saving up his force for about six months, and had some serious anger-management issues.
