It felt like being shot with an arrow, and Will jerked back. His wineglass crashed to the floor and shattered. He lurched to his feet, leaning both hands on the table. He was vaguely aware...

You kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire. He had wondered once why love was always phrased in terms of burning. The conflagration in his own veins, now, gave the answer.

When you find a man you wish to marry, Tessa, remember this: You will know what kind of man he is not by the things he says, but by the things he does.

You really want to know what else it was my mom said about you?” he asked.She shook her head.He didn’t seem to notice. “She said you’d break my heart,” he told her, and left.

[Jem] looked from Will to Tessa and raised his silvery eyebrows. “A miracle,” he said. “You got him to speak.””Just to shout at me, really,” said Tessa. “Not quite loaves and fishes.

What have you done to my cat?” Magnus demanded… “You drank his blood, didn’t you? You said you weren’t hungry!”Simon was indignant. “I did not drink his blood. He’s fine!” He poked the Chairman in...

What’s wrong, little sis? You look upset.”She could barely catch her breath. “Cracked…my…nail polish slapping your… worthless face. See?” She showed him her finger – just one of them.”Cute” He snorted.

Magnus’s eyes gleamed. “He seems to like you. I saw him going for your hand out there like a squirrel diving for a peanut.

There are ways in which we’re so alike. We’re reckless. We don’t think before we act. We’ll do anything for people we love. And I never thought how scary that was for the people who...

Do you remember what I told you that first time at Taki’s? About faerie food?””I remember you said you ran down Madison Avenue naked with antlers on your head”, said Clary, blinking silver drops off...

There. She had thanked Sebastian. She waited for a bolt of lightning to shoot out of the clouds and striker her dead. But nothing happened.

Of course it’s not okay with me. I’m a teenage boy. As far as I’m concerned, this is the worst thing that’s happened since I found out why Magnus was banned from Peru.

The warlock’s gaze, on the flames, was remote and distant, as if he were looking back into the past. Simon couldn’t help but remember what Magnus had said to him once, about living forever:Someday you...

You are aware that the sale of liquore is currently against the law.” Edgar went on, “but I suppose that is why you enjoy it.””Everyone should have a hobby or two,” Magnus said. “Mine just...

The conviction that everyone in this house must be dead had gained such a hold on Magnus that it was a shock when the woman who had summoned him here opened the door.

Everyone has something they can’t live without.

Have you tried talking to her?” “No. We’ve been punching her in the face repeatedly. What? You don’t think that will work?

Oh, I can never get enough. Which, incidentally, is what your sister said when–

Dw i’n dy garu di am byth,” he said. “I love you. Always.

He said there are thousands of Shadowhunters, but great love comes once in a lifetime if one is lucky, and one would be a fool to let it go.

Hell is cold. Do you remember when you told me that? We were in the cellars of the Dark House. Anyone else would have been panicking, but you were as calm as a governess, telling...

Jem cried out with all his remaining strength. You cannot go where I am going! Nor would I want that for you!

no.

He looks,” Simon had once said to Isabelle, “like he’s thinking about something deep and meaningful, but if you ask him what it is, he’ll punch you in the face.

Let’s face it. My career is now professional vampire.

I forgot that’s what gets you all hot and bothered, Jace, girls killing things.””I like anyone killing things, especially me.” he said with a smile.

The Queen gave him a look: special and secretive and shared between the two of them.You warned her about us, the look seemed to say.That we would hurt her, break her as you might break...

When I was a little kid, I realized that if you say any word over and over fast enough, it loses all it’s meaning.

She hated that will had this effect on her. Hated it. She knew better. She knew what he thought of her. That she was worth nothing. And still a look from him could make her...

Because that which was new was almost always temporary. And that which was temporary broke your heart.

and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has....

And now,” Eric yelled into his mircophone, “we’re going to sing a new song-one we just wrote. This one’s for my girlfriend. We’ve been going out for three weeks, and, damn, our love is true....

Isabelle drifted over, Jace a pace behind her. She was wearing a long black dress with boots and an even longer cutaway coat of soft green velvet, the color of moss. “I can’t believe you...

Jace’s eyes sparkled, but he said calmly, “Not at all. the Silent Brothers can help her retrieve her memories.””You hate the Silent Brothers,” protested Isabelle.”I don’t hate them,” said Jace candidly.”I’m afraid of them. It’s...
