Quotes edit see section history

  • “Riley, you will always carry some of their DNA. And that makes you more than a little unpredictable. But I can handle you. We will work through this. Together. I won’t leave you alone for a second. Understand?”
    Eli
  • “It kills me to see you in agony, and that I can’t do a goddamn thing about it pisses me off even more.”
    Eli
  • “I was silent for a moment, then cleared my throat. “Okay, so here we are, on another barrier island, isolated, with unpredictable teeth-gnashing scary me in my freaking panties, straddling your brother. How ’bout a little privacy, huh?”
    Riley
  • “And to prove I’m not just some horny vampire who only wants in your pants, we’re heading back to camp. Now.” With a lot less grace than I’d imagined, Eligius Dupré dumped me right into the Atlantic and walked back to the beach. “Wait!” I said, sitting in the water. “It’s totally cool if you only want in my pants!”
  • “...the front door of my ink shop flew open and Nyx bounced out like some crazed Jack Russell on crack, an excited, barking Chaz on her heels.”
  • “Soon, it would be pitch-black outside—everdark (the Gullah pronounced it evah-dock). It meant, pretty much, everlasting darkness. That was what it felt like, too—an endless night.”
  • “Men, whether mortal or otherworldly, were just freaking babies.”
    Riley Poe
  • “Weenies! You all think with your weenies!”
    Riley Poe to Noah Miles

“Hold her down!” Fire ripped through my insides, through my veins, under my skin, deep into my muscles, and I thrashed against the three pairs of strong arms trying to hold me still —I didn’t know why or who they were.
