“Good kitty"
"Why do you encourage them?"
"They're good kitties."
"They're your minions."
"Everyone needs a minion or two"
"You won't be so pleased when you find me ground up in their food bowl one day.”
― Abigail Roux, Stars & Stripes

“Each memory rips through me, and although I stow myself against the emotions, I can’t prevent the pain that accompanies each image. Pain for a love never acknowledged, pain for a friendship now gone. Pain for a loss I can’t possibly endure.”
― Christine Fonseca, Mea Culpa

“Bubbly is bogus.”
― Scott Westerfeld, Pretties

“Grady and Preston were both after the same mark in Paris a few years ago,â€� Julian said to
Zane. “They met during what I hear was a drunken, debauched night of� selling antiques. That’s how
I knew Ty had been there. I never saw him.�
“Such unnecessary details,� Preston murmured.
“Ty, seriously,� Zane grunted.
“How is this my fault?� Ty asked in exasperation.
“Do you have a history with every guy with a gun in the Northern hemisphere?�
“Oh, like you don’t have some winners back there you hope we never run into. Let’s head to
Miami and see what comes out of the woodwork.�
“T²â.â€�
“I like guys with guns!�
“Oh my God,â€� Julian muttered as he rubbed at his eyes.”

“Zane just smiled and walked to open the door for him. “Let‟s go, doll.â€�

Ty merely rolled his eyes as he walked past him.Give the man a weapon and suddenly he was all smiles again.”
― Abigail Roux, Fish & Chips

“I mean that all the experiences I’ve ever heard of in life . . . I want to have them with you.”
― Abigail Roux, Ball & Chain

“Zane sighed. He knew no one had died. He knew exactly what had happened last night. He just didn‟t have perspective, because when he drank, he focused in on whatever he thought his goal was to the exclusion of everything else. Last night, Ty had been part of “everything else.â€� That was the problem: Ty wasn‟t his keeper—Ty was his conscience.”
― Abigail Roux, Fish & Chips

“You said I was pretty, before."
"Did I?" A new laugh escaped him, mirthless. "How unoriginal. I must be the master of understatement. I think you're goddamned radiant, and you know it. Sometimes I think if I look at you too long I'll go blind, like a lunatic staring straight into the sun. No," he said in a savage undertone, and let the gown fall back to the floor. "You're not pretty.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“He was handsome and charismatic, exactly the type Ty would be drawn to. Zane could see that much. That, and he carried a gun.”
― Abigail Roux, Touch & Geaux

“Ty burst out laughing when he saw it. “Is that a travel pack of lube? I didn’t even know they made those.â€�

Zane grinned. “Where the hell have you been buying your lube?”
― Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban

“«Life is hard and confusing, Zane. Love doesn’t have to be.»”
― Abigail Roux, Armed & Dangerous

“Nesy. At last.
It has to be her. Who else can make Aydan smile? Make me smile.”
― Christine Fonseca, Mea Culpa

“I don’t want to hurt her, don’t want her to suffer. But the truth may hurt her more. I wrap my arms, my wings, around her as her body shutters.”
― Christine Fonseca, Mea Culpa

“I need to keep sharp. But when you're this damned close to me, all I think about is you. I think about your mouth, and I think about your breasts, and I think about your pink tongue and your legs wrapped around me. I think about touching you and you touching me--and then I look at you and you're giving me that look--yes, that one, just there, as if you want me to kiss you--please stop--" He exhaled on a hiss, tipping his head back against the wood and pressing two fingers to the bridge of his nose.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“He felt beyond himself. He felt for the first time in his adult life a shadow of fear in his heart--fear for her, for what he actually wanted from her--and for himself, for what he might do.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“So it turns out that late-night flashes of brilliance often look a little less brilliant in the bright light of morning.”
― Stacey Kade, The Rules

“I love you. Even more than gold and dreams, I love you. It seems insane you haven't realize it. You were the one who first informed me of it.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“It wasn't an itch. It was a sickness. It was poison blazing through him, thinking of her all the time, watching her, touching her, wanting and wanting and wanting until his mind went black.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“Something inside his chest unlocked--wildly, slowly, a peculiar sort of melting. He was lost. He was the thorn and the thistle, blown upon her breeze. He felt, strangely enough, staring into her yes, like he was going to weep.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“She did what she could for him. She kissed him in return. She lost her breath and both her hearts, and finally Turned to smoke and back.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“Ty caught his breath, nearly gasping when Zane finally touched their lips together. He shivered and his lips parted tentatively, but his wary eyes never closed. Giving in, Zane pulled him closer and lifted one hand to cup Ty’s cheek as he increased the pressure of his lips against Ty’s.

Ty groaned softly and finally relaxed against the kiss, returning it tentatively. He knew he’d regret this just as soon as they parted, but he couldn’t bring himself to stop it.

Tension cramped Zane’s gut as Ty’s lips moved, and he deepened the kiss, all the itch and urge heating inside him as his traced Ty’s lips with his tongue. Oh, this was going to be an absolute fucking mess, he just knew it. He pulled his fingers out of the waistband and curled that arm around Ty’s waist as he leaned into the dangerous kiss. His hand on Ty’s cheek trembled.

Ty indulged himself in the deeper kiss for a long, horribly tantalizing moment before he pulled his head back just enough to break the contact and pushed gently at Zane’s chest. “That’s what I thought,â€� he rasped as his breath gusted against Zane’s lips.”
― Abigail Roux & Madeleine Urban

“He mouthed the words to her that she could not see, and that she could not hear. It was all he dared tonight, strangers in a castle, strangers to this land, their future a great black question mark and an ending he could not foresee. He bent his lips to her ear and said without breathe:
Lia-heart. Little dragon. I love you too.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“Tell me dear, what do you know about prescribing atypical antipsychotics to enchance the effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors?”
― Sherrie Cronin, y1

“Lia, all that I am is what I do. I'm not meant for a tame sort of life, to dwell in bucolic splendor. I'm a city rat. I ache for it. I was made for it. And I wouldn't expect you to live as I do. I wouldn't want that for you. But its all I have to offer."
"Then--I accept."
He brought a hand to his forehead and began to laugh. "Its like being snared in a sugartrap. You wont listen.”
― Shana Abé, The Dream Thief

“Zombies don't exist.”
― Molly Looby

“Zane raised his brow. “Didn’t I say that yesterday?â€� he asked, forcing
himself to be patient. Somehow.
“You say that like you think I listen to you,� Ty responded instantly, a
smile pulling at his lips.”
― Abigail Roux & Madeleine Urban

“Never a dull moment,â€� he muttered. They’d been flash and
bang from the first moment they’d met.
“Yeah, well, if you weren’t such a dick�,� Ty murmured with a
small smile.
Zane snickered. “Works out well since you’re an asshole.�
“We’re gonna have to talk about these puns.â€� Ty groaned.”
