Quotes edit see section history

• “"So, you’re our keeper? How does one find a job like that? Answer an ad in the classifieds? ‘Wanted—werecat with a small brain and even smaller heart.’ Do you get benefits? Dental, maybe? ’Cause you’re going to need it when I break off every tooth in your mouth.” Ryan frowned, looking more ashamed than frightened.”

  Faythe

• ““How the hell did you get here so fast?” I asked, my battered cheek pressed into his shirt. “He nearly blew up Dad’s van, that’s how,” Ethan said. I glanced up to see his usual goofy grin, and eyes a shade greener than I remembered. He was happy to see me. It was mutual. “He drove a hundred miles an hour almost all the way from Louisiana.” I laughed, not a bit surprised.”

  Faythe & Ethan

• “"You’re a worthless bastard,” I said, not quite able to forgive him for being late, even though I didn’t want him there in the first place.“And you’re a callous bitch.” He smiled, completely unaffected by my heartfelt insult. “We’re a matched set.””

  Faythe & Marc

• ““Go home, Marc.” “There’s no reason for you to be rude.” “There’s no reason for you to be here."He frowned down at me, thick brows shadowing his eyes, and my mood improved. I’d gotten rid of his smile. Was I really that petty? Hell, yeah.”

  Faythe & Marc

• ““I’m impressed, Faythe,” he said, leaning the chair back on two legs. “I didn’t think you could find someone who talked more than you do, but I’ve obviously underestimated you. Again.””

  Marc

• “Great. Nothing beats several hours in a car with a pissed-off werecat. Welcome to my life.”

  Faythe

• “deductive reasoning. It's a perk sometimes available to those of us on the top rung of the evolutionary ladder.”

• The queen was my favorite chess piece. Unlike the women I knew in real life, she was powerful. Her job was to defend her husband at all costs, because while he was weak and practically defenseless—only allowed to move one square at a time—she was the strongest player on the board, hindered by no restrictions at all.

• Time was the great constant, eternally measuring my life in the ticks of a hundred second hands, the tocks of a thousand pendulums. It portioned my life into good times and bad times, the former too short, and the latter too long.

• I poked at the ball of yarn, avoiding her eyes. “I wasn’t that bad.” She smiled. “You broke Ethan’s arm.” “It was self-defense. He wouldn’t let go of my foot.” “He was helping you tie your shoe.”
