“Not for the first time, I wonder what it would feel like that, to be so beautiful that you don't even realize people are watching you, to be so confident that you don't even have to worry about being nervous or feeling self-conscious. I've spent what seems like my whole life trying to pretend I'm that way. What would it be like to have it just come naturally?”
― Lauren Barnholdt, The Thing About the Truth

“I was wrong last night. Kyler isn’t just trouble. He’s an apocalypse-level disaster waiting to happen. I need to find some fallout shelter to hide in. And quick.”
― Siobhan Davis, Finding Kyler

“He knows I’ve seen something in him. Something I recognize, only because it exists in me too.”
― Siobhan Davis, Finding Kyler

“He's a mass of contradictions. Unfortunately, that only seems to enhance his appeal. I’m one sick bitch, that’s for sure.”
― Siobhan Davis, Finding Kyler

“Wracking sobs rip from the innermost chamber of my heart, and I give into them, allowing them to fully take over. Pain lances me on all sides, and I bury my head in my knees, giving in to the heartache.
I cry for my parents.
For my lost life.
For the threat that Addison poses, scaring me in ways it shouldn’t.
For a boy I can’t have and shouldn’t want.
For the never-ending gut-wrenching hollow ache in my chest and the soul-crushing loneliness I feel.”
― Siobhan Davis, Finding Kyler

“We don’t have time for all this personal drama.â€� My eyes flit between Logan, Haydn, and Ax. “And it’s not fair on the others. The atmosphere is horrendous because of what’s going on between us. And I’m so tired of it. All of it.â€� I take a step back. “I’m not discussing this anymore, with any of you.â€� I glare at the three boys. “So sort your shit out, and get your act together. Until then,â€� I say, turning around. “Leave me the hell alone.”
― Siobhan Davis, Saven Defiance

“Rushing to my side, he palms my face before I can protest. “That’s exactly the issue, though. You don’t know your own mind. It’s full of the secrets of your past, and instead of trying to understand that, you are charging pig-headed down the wrong path.”
― Siobhan Davis, Saven Defiance

“You look exhausted,â€� Logan says, his eyes raking over me. “Why don’t you try and catch some sleep.â€�
“All your nocturnal activities must be taking a toll,� Haydn mutters not too discreetly under his breath.
“The same could be said for you,� I retort, in no mood to ignore his renewed mean streak.
“That’s rich coming from you.�
“Haydn.â€� How Logan can manage to convey such potent meaning with one word is sheer talent. And I’m eternally grateful, because it shuts Haydn up.”
― Siobhan Davis, Saven Defiance

“You are such a dork,â€� I exclaim as my fingers flit over the multitude of images and videos of Will Smith. Pinned quotes and sayings are highlighted, and I chuckle when I recognize a few. “Oh. My. God. Did you actually learn these on purpose?â€�
He reels me into his arms and kisses the top of my head. “Will I be cementing my dork status if I answer affirmatively?�
“Absolutely.â€� I look up into his beautiful eyes. “But I only love you more for it.”
― Siobhan Davis, Saven Defiance

“A surge of emotion so strong washed over me like a tsunami wiping everything in its path. Everything I knew before was gone in an instant. And I knew the truth.
I knew I loved him dangerously.”
― Siobhan Davis, Loving Kalvin

“Super-fast, he reels me into his arms, holding me in a tight embrace. “I can’t lose you, Sadie. I just can’t. Every day I die a little more inside.”
― Siobhan Davis, Saven Defiance

“. “Fancy a midnight swim?â€�
“In this?� I gesture at my fancy-pants dress.
Hauling me in to his naked chest, he pins me with a wolfish grin. “Without it was more what I had in mind.”
― Siobhan Davis, Saven Defiance

“What is that?â€� Addison inspects the food with a look of sheer revulsion on her face. You’d swear I just handed her a plate full of arsenic.
“The Works Burger with fries and extra onions and cheese, exactly as you ordered.� I keep my voice level.
She sends me a scathing look. “Do I look like I’d ever consume that amount of saturated fat?”
― Siobhan Davis, Finding Kyler

“I have never seen so much male hotness in one place in my entire life,â€� Rach rasps. “I fucking love America.”
― Siobhan Davis, Keeping Kyler

“And I kind of like the Teen Rebels; they seem to be better than the Bullying Trio. Still, watch your backs, rebels!”
― Jacquel Chrissy May, The Summer of Our Discontent

“This is why I spent so long fighting my feelings for you. You don’t belong in my world. You’re too good for it. For me. I thought I was ready to be who you needed me to be, but I fell at the first hurdle.”
― Siobhan Davis, Losing Kyler

“I lie awake in bed until way past midnight, fervently hoping Ky is going make an appearance at any moment to explain his behavior. But as the clock chimes two, I have no choice but to face facts.
He isn’t coming.
And it feels ominous.
Like the winds are changing, and destiny is altering.
His absence is more than telling.
It has a finality to it that scares me half to death.”
― Siobhan Davis, Losing Kyler

“When everything else is shattering, you feel like the one true constant.”
― Siobhan Davis, Losing Kyler

“Even after all the hurt and the pain, I still love you so much. Probably too much for someone my age. I used to believe it was because we were made for each other. That we had a special kind of love most people never find. Now, I wonder if it’s the opposite. If we were put together to show the destructive side of love.
You have always been my light and my dark.
My sun and shadow.
My strength and weakness.
You bring out the best and the worst in me.”
― Siobhan Davis, Loving Kalvin

“I want you to need me but not half as much as I want you to want me.”
― Siobhan Davis, Losing Kyler

“My entire life has been one big, fat whopper of a lie, and my parents betrayed me in the worst possible way.
I don’t care if they believed they were protecting me.
You don’t lie to the people you profess to love, no matter how painful the truth is.”
― Siobhan Davis, Losing Kyler

“Come on, Lana,â€� Liv groans. “Stop keeping me in suspense. Get to the juicy stuff.â€�
I fling my pillow at her. “Hey! This isn’t the latest soap opera we’re discussing. This is my life!�
“Your life with the Kennedys,â€� she swoons, tossing the pillow back at me. “That sounds like a soap opera I’d watch.”
― Siobhan Davis, Loving Kalvin

“And when desperation leads you into a rotting pit of self-inflicted torture, you are left with nothing but the acknowledgment that desperation played you for a fool.”
― Siobhan Davis, The Heir and the Human

“I couldn’t shake the feeling that you had taken something of mine. Something you had no right to. It’s lingered over the years, that all-consuming feeling. And I feel it now. What are you hiding, Axton? What do you have that’s mine?â€�

“There was no escaping what I had become, the nothing girl...again.”
― Aubrey Moore, Red River Run

“This whole time, I’m staring at Ky—the one person I thought I had by my side. The one person who truly understands me, who has the power to make everything okay just by his mere presence.
But I’ve lost him too.
He’s been cruelly taken from me just as I felt he was finally mine.
I have no one.
And I’ve never felt more alone or more jaded with this life.”
― Siobhan Davis, Losing Kyler

“AJ knew he should stop the fight. Still, the sight of a little girl - no younger than himself, though smaller - pounding on the commander’s bully of a son made him pause. He watched in open-mouthed admiration as her fists rained down on Holden’s face. This fleshy boy transforming into a snotty-nosed, crying lump of flesh was the same one who’d bloodied AJ’s nose a week ago. She’s taking him, AJ realized.”
― Danika Stone

“She still hadn't said a word to Todd about her date with Nicholas. And she was terrified that Jessica would catch on and go into one of her Technicolor rages.”
