“What have I become?
My sweetest friend;
everyone I know goes away in the end.
And you could have it all:

“Come work for me, and I鈥檒l tell you.鈥�
My eyes went to his. 鈥淵ou are a thief, a cheat, a murderer, and a not-nice man,鈥� I said calmly. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 like you.鈥�
He shrugged, the motion making him look utterly harmless. 鈥淚鈥檓 not a thief,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd I don鈥檛 mind manipulating you into working for me when I need it.鈥� He smiled, showing me perfect teeth. 鈥淚 enjoy it, actually.”

“He sighed. "You want to live in your church, going about your life as if you're like everyone else."
"So?"
"You aren't. And because of that, someday you're probably going to find yourself in a position where your choices will have an impact far beyond what you see right now. And when that happens, I want you to remember what it's like to ride through the woods on horseback under a night sky with no moon and nothing stronger than you are. I want you to know so you will fight for it. So that my children will know of it. You have to keep the demons where they are, Rachel. No one else can do it. You won't fight for us unless you know. Let me show you what you're fighting for.”

“We were innocent once. How could it have gone so bad?”

“The car picked up speed, and the sound seemed to lull me.I could relax, I thought as I felt the tingling of circulation in my limbs. I was in Trent鈥檚 car, wrapped in a blanket, and held in his arms. He wouldn鈥檛 let anything hurt me.
He wasn鈥檛 singing, though,I mused.Shouldn鈥檛 he be singing?”
― Kim Harrison, Every Which Way But Dead

“Pierce jerked his hand from Trent and pushed himself straight. 鈥淜alamack Industries,鈥� he said, expression twisted as he wiped his hand on his pants. 鈥淚 knew your father.鈥�
鈥淚 do not freaking believe this,鈥� I said, shifting to stand where I could see both of them.
Al beamed. 鈥淎mazing who you can meet in an elevator.”
― Kim Harrison, White Witch, Black Curse

“Trent and Ellasbeth did the nasty? Ewwww!”
― Kim Harrison, Pale Demon

“Her elf is going to do just that,鈥� he said, the red glow of the ever-after sun turning his hair auburn, almost as red as mine. 鈥淚 did聽not聽work this hard at getting her to accept who she is to let you take your spoiled brat of a little-boy temper tantrum out on her. She stays on my side of the lines.”
― Kim Harrison, A Perfect Blood

“A Maddox boy? Afraid?" His face compressed. "We've already lost the first woman we ever loved. The thought of going through that again scares the shit out of us.”

“Pixie was still looking a little shell-shocked when they walked over to the desk. 鈥淭his is Pixie, our studio manager. She鈥檒l take your details when you鈥檙e ready.鈥�
鈥淗ey, Pixie, pleased to meet you.鈥�
Trent had never seen Pixie so inanimate. She didn鈥檛 move to take the hand Dred had offered.
鈥淧ix?鈥� Trent smirked as she quickly collected herself with a shake of her head, reaching her hand out.
鈥淪orry. Miles away. Welcome to Second Circle.鈥�
鈥淣ice tattoo you got there, Pixie. What are those?鈥�
鈥淔lowers,鈥� she mumbled. What the hell was up with Pixie? They鈥檇 had famous people in the studio before.
Dred laughed. 鈥淚 can see that. I was curious what kind.鈥�
The phone rang and Pixie jumped all over it, effectively cutting Dred off.
鈥淪orry,鈥� Trent apologized. 鈥淔ortunately, we鈥檙e generally pretty busy here. Want to take a seat and we can figure out what you鈥檙e looking for?鈥�
Trent started to walk to one of the beds toward the back of the studio. 鈥淲e have a setup in the room back here if you want a bit more privacy.鈥�
Realizing Dred was no longer with him, he turned to see him still staring at Pixie鈥檚 back.
鈥淗ey dude,鈥� he whispered, 鈥渨e charge extra for checking out the staff鈥檚 asses.鈥�
鈥淲hat? Oh 鈥� right, yeah. How much? I鈥檇 definitely pay extra for a closer view.”

“I used the word fuck as a verb, adverb, noun, and a simple decoration in every other sentence. If I could marry it, I most likely would. Yet I hated that it left his mouth, and hated it even more that it was directed at her. Mostly, I loathed that the tool was wearing a hoodie so I couldn鈥檛 even see the goddamn face I was about to smash with my fist.”
― L.J. Shen, Scandalous

“Threatening to rat out an eighteen-year-old to her parents was some sort of rock bottom, surely. At the same time, she didn鈥檛 need this. Smoking pot and fucking in a public place. Make no mistake, I鈥檇 done exactly that at her age. Oh, well. I never said I was above being a fucking hypocrite.”
― L.J. Shen, Scandalous

“I wanted to get wet and let the tide wash over me without dipping a toe in the ocean. I wanted what was forbidden, and wrong, and fucking crazy. I wanted my partner鈥檚 daughter, who was nearly half my age.”
― L.J. Shen, Scandalous

“Did you hear that, fuckface? You finally got someone to love your cold ass. You need to put that shit on lockdown because she is still young and na茂ve enough to like you.”
