“Something about telling that story made my gut grow back together."
What?"
Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud."
That's who you really like. The people you can think out loud in front of."
The people who've been in your secret hiding places."
The people you bite your thumb in front of."
Hi."
Hi."

“Lindsey patted my arm. “Don’t be embarrassed. It’s about time you two made the beast with two backs.â€�
I had to work to form words. “There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don’t know where to start.”

“Well I've been calling myself Scarlet Pattinson for several weeks. Have you seen Robert Pattinson? Hottest. Man. Ever. And no, I don't care if that makes me a couger. He sings with the voice of an angel. Gods, I love when a man sings to me. You never did because your voice is terrrible." She shuddered in distaste. "I swear, its like a demon running its claws over brimsone.”

“William untucked the covers and stood, making a mental list of everything he'd need for the coming trip. A few blades, serrated and non serrated. A vial of acid. A bone saw. A spiked paddle. A cat-o'-nine-tails. And a bag of Gummy Bears.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Secret

“Stridey-Man: " Want 2 vaca w/me?"
William: "Romantic getaway for 2? UR not my type"
Stridey-Man: "I'm everyone's type. So U in or out? 'Cause I'm thinking about hooking up w/P, wherever he is. U'd just B extra baggage."
William: "In"
Stridey: "Knew you couldn't resist me. B ready in 5."
William: "Right on. Make it 10. I want 2 style my hair for U. U know, just how U like it."
Stridey: "Now U only have 8 minutes 2 do UR hair.”

“Strider's bedroom "The only thing hanging on the wall that wasn't a weapon was the portrait just over the bed. No. Not true, he thought then. The portrait was a weapon, too. Of seduction. In it Strider was utterly naked and whisking through the cloads like an avenging angel. He was holding a teddy bear in one hand and a stream of pink ribbons in the other. Anya had given him the nearly life-size monstrasity as a joke. But the joke was on her. He loved the thing.”

“For gods' sake, Strider," Torin snapped. "Open your mouth and form some words. While you're at it, stop staring at the angel like he's a tasty treat.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Secret

“He planned to stick to her like pasties on a stripper.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Lie

“Fine," Strider said tightly. "You can. But you wont. Because you know that if you take the woman out of this home, I'll go gray from worry. And you like my hair the way it is."
"Stridey-man. Are you hitting on my? Trying to get me to run my fingers through those mangy locks?"
Gideon chuckled. "Sweetie pie."
Striders lips even twitched into a grin. "You know I hate when you get mushy like that."
Boy loved it. No question.”

“Fresh flowers bloomed from vases, sweetly scenting the air. Again, he had no idea. Fine. He'd requested those. That shit smelled good.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Lie

“What Strider thinks of himself "He was too intense, too jaded, too warped and too...everything for most women to take for long. But so what. He was made of awesome. Anyone who couldn't see that wasn't smart enough to be with him, anyway.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Secret

“He reclined on a delightfully cushioned lounge in the sprawling ranch Paris had rented. In Dallas, Texas, of all places. Promiscuity had decked himself out, too, wearing a Stetson (weird), no shirt (understandable), unfastened jeans (smart) and cowboy boots (weird again). Dude looked ready to rustle cattle or something.”

“Aw, sad face. I came up with that totally off the cuff. No props for off the cuff?”

“I glanced mildly at Lindsey. “Did you spike his blood with caffeine?â€� “Die Hard marathon was on TV last night,â€� she said. “He’s been weaponized since then.”

“Now that we’ve done the tea party,â€� Luc said, pushing back the notepad and settling into his chair, “it’s time for our annual review of Rules You Disrespectful Bastards Never Follow.”
― Chloe Neill, Some Girls Bite

“Girl! I hope you did lots of nasty with Our Dear Sullivan and made us all proud. Please bring him back in a good mood. And eager to give us all raises. We need shoes. Hearts, Lindsey.”
― Chloe Neill, Biting Cold

“We need to give you two a couple name,â€� I said, taking a seat on the opposite side of the table. “Lucsey, perhaps?â€� Luc didn’t bat an eyelash; he simply turned a page of the newspaper. “Call us what you want, Sentinel. We already have a name for you.â€� That was alarming. Not that there was a way to avoid it, but I wasn’t sure I wanted them discussing my relationship around the Ops Room table. “No, you don’t.â€� “Yes, we do.â€� Lindsey stirred her spoon noisily around the walls of the yogurt cup to get the remaining drops. “You’re Methan.â€� “We’re what?â€� “Methan. Merit and Ethan. Methan.”

“That guy,â€� Lindsey said, “is a douche. Asterisk, I hate him. Footnote, he can suck it.”
― Chloe Neill, House Rules

“The man was walking power and confidence, and he was all mine. “Seriously,â€� Lindsey whispered, “well done.â€� “I know, right?”
― Chloe Neill, House Rules

“I strongly recommend the therapeutic application of fuzzy-chested vampire to grief. It works miracles.â€� “I am sincerely glad to hear that. But if you keep talking, I will poke your eyes out with a toothpick.”
― Chloe Neill, Drink Deep

“And that,â€� she said, putting the shaker back on the bar, “is how vampires make rainbows.â€� - Lindsey”
― Chloe Neill, Hard Bitten

“He wants you,â€� Lindsey said. “Physically and otherwise. Maybe you only need to remind him that you can handle yourself.â€� “How?â€� “Girl, you’re the Sentinel of this House, and you’ve been trained by Catcher and Luc and Ethan. He’s in the training room right now. Get down there and kick his ass.â€� I smiled slyly. Now, that was a plan that made sense.”
― Chloe Neill, Biting Cold

“The supernatural threat is my boot up his ass,â€� Lindsey muttered.”
― Chloe Neill, Biting Bad

“You and Ethan had some kind of something?â€� “You’re fishing. And we didn’t have something or anything. We’re just bummed it’s Valentine’s Day and I’m spending it with you guys.â€� “Yeah, well, tone down the magic. You’re giving me split ends.”
