“Perry," he said quietly, his fingers trailing down the side of my face, "you'll never have to save my life. You gave me life. I never lived a single day until the first day I met you.”
― Karina Halle, On Demon Wings

“Tell me what to say. What can I say to make you want me the way I want you?”

“I don't want to hear music, I don't want the sunrise to be pink. The world is a liar. Its ugliness is overwhelming; the scraps of beauty make it worse.”
― Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies

“Soren huffed. “I saw her looking at me when we were changing into our uniforms.��
“She was looking at you because you’re built like a bull.��
Soren’s laugh was nervous, clipped. “Is that good?��
“It’d be great if she were a cow.”

“You broke me in half when you left.”
― Veronica Rossi, Through the Ever Night

“His eyes were heavy with desire, but she saw something else. A gleam that made her suspicious.
"What?" she asked.
His hand slid to her hips. "You're incredible."
"That's not what you were thinking."
"Was so. I always think that." He leaned in, twisting a strand of her hair around his finger as he kissed her bottom lip. "But I was also wondering what you were doing around Butter today.
Aria laughed. That was attractive. She smelled like horse.”

“From the corner of her eye, the wildflowers along the wall caught her attention. “Roar, wait!��
Roar turned around. “Yes?�� he asked, arching an eyebrow.
Aria ran to the wall, scanning the flowers. She found the right one and plucked it. She drew in its scent and imagined Perry walking beside her, his bow across his back, looking over with his lopsided grin.
She brought the flower to Roar. “I changed my mind,�� she said. “Give him this.��
Roar’s eyes crinkled in confusion. “I thought you liked roses. What’s this?��
“A violet.”��”

“Dex isn't a big guy by any means. He's on the short side and toned but still thin. But he has unpredictable pit-bull tactics and one hell of a lippy attitude with strangers. For heaven's sake, never give that man a shovel.”
― Karina Halle, Lying Season

“.......You have every right to hate me for this lifetime and many others. You have every right to never see me again. To spit on my grave. But tonight, now, I'm not going to give up on you or," his voice fell with weight, "die trying.”
― Karina Halle

“It's not far. Another week. Doesn't matter. I'll get you better shoes this time. And I'll carry your rocks for you. I'll even answer you question.”
― Veronica Rossi, Under the Never Sky

“It ruffles me a bit, not being able to tell apart my best friend from my girlfriend from this distance. But then one of the figures dashes across the sandy trail and jumps into my arms and I'm reasonably sure it's Liv and not Perry.”
― Veronica Rossi, Roar and Liv

“ Then he told Perry that love was like the waves in the sea, gentle and good sometimes, rough and terrible at others, but that it was endless and stronger than the sky and the earth and everything in between.”
― Veronica Rossi, Through the Ever Night

“And you managed to leave the house and be the hero. Who do you think you are, Spider-Man?”
― Kim Harrington, Perception

“Snake eyes again. Damn dice,�� Straggler said. He lifted the cup to reveal two ones on the table.
Hyde smirked. “Strag, I didn’t think it was possible to be as unlucky as you are.��
“He’s so unlucky it’s almost lucky,�� Gren said. “It’s like he has reverse luck.��
“He’s reverse good-looking, too,�� said Hyde.
“I’m going to reverse punch you,�� Strag said to his brother.
“That was reverse smart, man. It means you’re going to punch yourself.”
― Veronica Rossi, Through the Ever Night

“You’re the most important person in the world to
me.�� I quickly added in a hushed voice, “Don’t tell Mom. She’ll be jealous.”
― Kim Harrington, Perception

“Peregrine,�� Molly said sometime later, when the group had fallen quiet. Talon snored softly with his head in her lap. “Sable made an announcement to us earlier. He told us this place was going to be called Cape Rim. I think we can do better.��

“I know we can,�� he said. “What would you call it, Molly?��

“I’ve been thinking about it, and it seems to me we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Cinder.��

“Oh . . .,�� Marron said. “That’s lovely.��

Aria looked up, her violet scent filling him with steadiness. “What do you think?��

Perry looked down to the waves, and then farther out to the dark horizon, where he saw only stars. “I think it’s a great name.”
― Veronica Rossi

“She'd been right. It had been easier with her. Perry placed his right hand on hers.

"Are you all right?" he whispered. It wasn't what he wanted to know. Of course she wasn't all right. What he wanted to know was if the together part still mattered to her. Because even though he was confused and sorry and angry, it still mattered to him.

She looked up and nodded, and he knew she agreed. Whatever else came, they'd face it together.”
― Veronica Rossi, Under the Never Sky

“He seemed to be having a staring contest with one of the candles”
― Kim Harrington, Perception

“You made friends with a prickler?" Hawk says, standing just inside the secret opening, apparently having come inside during my story, "I'm confused," Adele says. "At first I thought pricklers were some kind of plant, but are they an animal? Or some weird kind of person?"

"We ate your friend" Tristan says, his handsome face screwed up even more.”
― David Estes, The Earth Dwellers

“How was that compares to the other me?"
"Less dog breath," he deadpanned.”
