Quotes edit see section history

  • “You forgot to blow up the warehouses.”
    James
  • “The Imprinting was the meshing of the hearts, minds, and souls of a male and a female who were compatible with each other to a point beyond perfection.”
  • “I’m afraid that someday soon our friendship with Noah is going to be tested in the worst possible way”
    Isabella
  • “Destiny, whom all Demons revered for both Her diligent forward motion as well as Her capricious sense of humor and irony, intended the Imprinting to be the Demon race’s salvation.”
  • “Since when do Demons knock?”
    Corrine
  • “Unlike humans, Demons weren’t constricted by the confusing rituals that preceded the revelation of one person’s feelings for another. In fact, it was safe to say that they wore their hearts on their sleeves, embroidered in wild red, with indicator signs flashing in neon that said point-blank the value one person had within the heart of another.”
  • “Tell me who you are…”
    Noah
  • “Now come and find me, you son of a bitch. Meet me in the real world and find out how far all this Euro trash charm of yours will really go. I swear, if I ever set eyes on you in my waking world you will be centuries of sorry!”
    Kestra
  • “There’s something about these Demon men.The more you fought them, the more it seemed to encourage them. Intellectually even more than physically.”
  • “Are you kidding? Anyone who would try to cheat you would have to be insane.”
    Sands
  • “She is dead.”
    Noah
  • “That was the essence of a good monarch. Everyone else must come first, especially those you loved best.In that moment, all he wanted was to put himself first.Whatever the cost.No matter who had to pay.”
    Noah
  • “Noah had succumbed to the madness of the Samhain moon.”
  • “Very well. It will not matter one way or another. Before dawn, you will belong to me.”
    Ariel
  • “I will punish you.”
    Isabella
  • “You cannot measure me by the standards you use to measure other men. Trust me when I say all the rules you are used to have changed, and they will continue to do so for quite some time.”
    Noah
  • “Jasmine, I trust you have a damned good reason for invading my privacy.”
    Noah
  • “I already have changed it, although I would never want to change the honest essence of who you are. I am not who you think I am, Kestra.”
    Noah
  • “You are seeking punishment, my lord, and I am he who deals it out. Therefore, I am at your service.”
    Jacob
  • “Just go to her. Do what you do best. Be wise, patient, and loving, and be her guide into our world. And if that don’t work, bean her over the head and drag her back by her hair.”
    Corrine
  • “Tall, dark, and ultra dangerous. Delightfully dangerous.Jumping-out-of-a-plane dangerous.”
    Kestra
  • “Let your body heal. Tomorrow is another day. You have plenty of time to yell at me, be cranky, and hate me. Tonight just rest.”
    Noah
  • “You have been conscious for all of five minutes and already you have something to frown about?”
    Noah
  • “For a man? Another promise for you, Kestra. I am not like any man you know. So that insult does not bother me in the least.”
    Noah
  • “Nothing. No, wait. I apologize. What I mean to say is, it is nothing for you to be concerned with. Just a lot of thoughts running amok and trying their best to give me a headache.”
    Noah
  • “Okay, explain. Tell me all your secrets and I promise not to run screaming until afterward, if running and screaming are merited.”
    Kestra
  • “Jump, Kes. Just jump off and trust all your safety systems towork. Jump, throw your arms out, and feel the rush. It is incredible, and it is worth every second of it.”
    Noah
  • “You think the most incredible combination of thoughts. One minute impressively brave and philosophical, the next irreverent and bordering on adolescent.”
    Noah
  • “If there is one thing we Vampires know, it is how vengeful Demons are over the death of one of their flock. We learned that during the wars.”
    Jasmine
  • “It’s a game. Catch me if you can. Serial killer modus operandi.”
    Kestra
  • “Your final word? Does this look like the damned Crusades to you? Do you think I’m going to just sit here doing…doing embroidery or something while you wage war, praying you come home in one pigheaded, chauvinistic piece?”
    Kestra
  • “But I am afraid of me. Of me without you. I would not have borne many more holy moons without destroying myself, baby.”
    Noah
  • “I can’t believe I’m going to kiss you and send you off to battle like some antebellum romance heroine.”
    Kestra
  • “Don’t think you have a choice in the matter, because you don’t. Fate or Destiny or whatever it is has made up its mind about this one single factor in your life, and it can’t be denied. It’s designed so it can’t be denied.”
    Bella
  • “No electricity. Nor will you find technology in a Demon household, as you discovered earlier. They do not agree with our biochemistry.”
    Noah
  • “But your heart wants to shout from the rooftops? Logic be damned?”
    Bella
  • “Males think about sex an average of once every ten seconds, I have heard. I should remind you, you are above average in all things.”
    Kestra
  • Popular Highlights from Kindle Customers
  • All stories end. All life ends. Nature makes it so. And you know that it can be peaceful or it can be violent and cruel, but it is not the end that matters. It is everything that happens right up until that very last minute that matters most.”

  • I would rather live with loving you for a heartbeat of time than having never known the gloriousness of the feeling. How long do we have to cherish one another? I do not know. I will not waste a single precious moment thinking about it when I could be spending that moment making love to you.”
