*sigh* Still just as good as when I first read it. Now I'm fresh and ready to tackle the third book!

"He should have let her rest, but he couldn't bear the silence." - I find it touching that Raphael has this weakness after what happened at the end of the first book.

I love that scene where Elena drops into the hunt in her sparring practice with Venom. It was kind of bad ass.

"Offering to soothe my aches, hunter?" the vampire said, flicking his tongue over one long incisor and coming away with a golden droplet full of poison. "I'm touched." "Just being friendly," she said, matching snark for snark. Venom's pupils contracted the instant before he slid his sunglasses back on. She couldn't help it. "Why isn't your tongue forked?"

"Illium, you should know something about me if this friendship's going to have a hope in hell of working. I'm unlikely to obey Raphael's every order."

Illium's better watch himself if he keeps dusting Elena and jerking Raphael's chain.
