― Jess C Scott, The Other Side of Life

“Melody exploded. "THIS ISN'T LIKE GETTING A FISH TO SEE IF I COULD BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH FOR A PUPPY!" She took a deep breath, calmed herself and lowered her voice. She then repeated the statement as if doing so removed the stink of the outburst.

"I'm well aware of that," said Lonnie. "And not to poke it with a stick, but you don't see any puppies sniffing around that empty fish bowl, do you?”
― B.M.B. Johnson, Melody Jackson v. the Woman in White

“Anya looked upon Nin admirably. Having him as a partner-in-crime—if only on this one occasion, which she hoped would only be the start of something more—was more revitalizing than the cheap thrills of a cookie-cutter shallow, superficial romance, where the top priority was how beautiful a person was on the outside.”
― Jess C Scott, The Other Side of Life

“...lovers, even those who are married, always exist autonomously of one another, no matter how close they are or how long they've known each other. That's why jealously can flare in even the most intimate relationships.
Because you know that at some basic level this person exists separately from you. No mater how close you are, the landscape of their life is always tinted a different hue than your own." - Hunter to Joanna”
― Vicki Pettersson, The Neon Graveyard

all day from MeShack’s enjoyment of life.”
― Kenya Wright, Fire Baptized

“But no life was without it's strain & strife, not if it was fully lived. Opening up to experience, even the good ones like trust & love, was to open yourself up to the pain. I suppose the key was to not compound matters by making the rest of it unnecessarily hard. My need for control had certainly done that in the past. So I made a promise to myself in that moment.
I would make a concerted effort to reach for what was soft & good in this world. I'd find a place to settle into, and hold still so that this world's good and soft could reach back & touch me as well.”
― Vicki Pettersson, The Neon Graveyard

you can hardly tell it’s been opened!”
--Reggie Sinclair from Angela's Coven”
― Bruce Jenvey, Angela's Coven

“Armani froze to the spot, unable to move. Her breath tightened in her lungs, shivers of awareness ran down her spine, the sudden energy zipping through her body announcing the shimmer of recognition.”
― Suzan Battah, BaSatai: Outside In # 1

“Armani halted, thinking twice about making her way over there, but she pushed forward not wanting to believe something was wrong. There was nothing worse than walking into a nightmare. And Armani just did. The air in her lungs seized when she saw her draped all over him. She blinked a few times, but Lily was still pressing her body all over Rafael.
Armani wanted to kill her, right then and there.”
― Suzan Battah, BaSatai: Outside In # 1

― Cleo Rozenfeld, La Stella

Mitchell blinked in an annoyed manner and said, “The potion, of course. With any luck, once you drink this, you’ll be able to astral project yourself to wherever Shade is keeping Marley.”
“No,” said Jeb, “I meant, what were those two drops you just added to it?”
“Sweat of goat anus,” Mitchell smirked. “Does wonders for digestion.”
“You’re sick,” said Jeb. “You know that, right?”
“Eh.”
― Robert G. Culp, City Of The Slain

“Shut up.” Marley playfully slugged his shoulder as she wiped her own tears away. “And never say I look good wearing these... things.”
“Got it,” Armie laughed. “From now on, only pure and decent insults about you will leave my mouth.”
“Yeah, right,” Marley laughed.”
― Robert G. Culp, City Of The Slain

“Angels and demons weren’t the only beings wandering the world. Vampires, werewolves, fairies, yokai, and more were to be found all over the world. You could even find them in the city! New York was a melting pot for supernaturals as much as it was for humans from around the world.”
― Black Mike, Archangel: The Book of Mammon

"Oh yeah, I guess there's that.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Descended in Vengeance:

"Sure." My words dripped with sarcasm. "I'll ask Alfred what he can drum up when I get back to the Batcave.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Descended in Vengeance:

“I hated that term. Fallen. I hated it almost as much as I hated Sexy Lexie. Fallen suggested an involuntary movement. I'd clearly made a decision to be what I was now. I didn't fall; I had jumped with both feet.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Descended in Vengeance:

“Those exquisite features were meant to entice, draw his prey in until they lost themselves in the beauty. But the dark, shadowed side warned of something sinister dangerously close to all that beauty, waiting to take the bait, so it could steal one's soul. Sitting there, he was the embodiment of good and evil, two sides of a soul in one corporeal body. Was this the true Reis Draeger? If so, would mine be the next soul he'd steal? Did I even have one left to lose?”
― L.J. Kentowski, Descended in Vengeance:
