Es la logica Adrian Ivashkov. No trates de entenderla, solo rueda con ella.

Did you just use juxtaposition in a sentence?” “Yes, Sage” he said patiently. “We use it all the time with art, … That, and I know how to use a dictionary

Dimitri moved closer to me, his eyes sparkling with a secret. “It gets better:you’re Lissa’s guardian.””What?” I almost pulled away. “That’s impossible. They’d never…””They did. She’ll have others, so they probably figured it was okay...

Avery worries about her, too, so Lissa’s in good hands. Avery’s pretty amazing.”I gave him a scathing look. “Amazing? Do you like her or something?” I hadn’t forgotten Avery’s comment about leaving the door unlocked...

I can’t believe you’ve been here all day and didn’t come visit. “, Tatiana said.”Aw, I figured you had more important things to do than see me, ” Adrian told her. “Besides, I quit smoking,...

Is that some kind of vampire joke?” Treyasked.

Sage, aren’t you guys supposed to have uniforms? This looks like what you usually wear.

What was love, really? Flowers, chocolate, and poetry? Or was it something else? Was it being able to finish someone’s jokes? Was it having absolute faith that someone was there at your back? Was it...

I just hoped for the rest.

I sent a quick text to Adrian: I have a hickey! You can’t ever kiss me again. I honestly hadn’t expected him to be awake this early, so I was surprised to get a response:...

How come when mortals want things, their only option is to make a deal with Hell and sell their soul? Why can’t they make deals with God in exchange for good behavior?”It was another of...

Stick.” I said in Russian. I had no clue what the word for stake was. I pointed at the silver ring I wore and made a slashing motion. “Stick. where?” He stared at me in...

Hey, if you’d wanted to avoid ‘this,’ you shouldn’t have lured me last night. Now it’s too late. You might as well avoid the long, drawn-out pain and get it over with quickly. Sort of...

Yes. No. It’s hard to get over someone like that. She had a huge effect on me, both good and bad. That’s hard to move past. I try not to think about her much in...

Everything’s about my personal entertainment. The world is my stage. Keep it up- you’re becoming a star performer in the show.

How is Angeline?” asked Dimitri. “Is she improving?”Eddie and I exchanged glances. So much for avoiding her indiscretions. “improving how exactly?” I asked. “Improving how exactly?” I asked. “In combat, in following the dress code,...

Hey.” She said, looking up from an open book propped up on one knee. She brushed a few strands of pale hair out of her face. Her boyfriend, Christian, lay on the floor near her,...

We’re, uh, not in West Virginia.

Having your own, um, cave at eighteen is pretty cool.

My dearest Rose,One of the few downsides to being awakened is that we no longer require sleep; therefore we also no longer dream. It’s a shame, because if I could dream, I know I’d dream...

He reached out and pulled me to him, one hand on my waist and the other behind my neck. He tipped my head up and lowered his lips to mine. I closed my eyes and...

Historically inaccurate.’ Adrian gestured at me with his other hand, the one not on my shoulder. “Who the hell looks at you and says ‘historically inaccurate’?

I didn’t care at this point and busied myself texting a message to Sydney on the Love Phone, letting her know that my art was a paltry thing compared to the brilliance of her beauty....

Do you check every once in a while, just to make sure I’m not undead?

Adrian suddenly glanced up at me. Our gazes locked, and I felt like he could read my mind. How often did he think about that kiss? And if he really was crazy about me, did...

Speaking of Sonya…I was thinking of something earlier. Something Wolfe said.””Why, Adrian. Were you paying attention after all?””Don’t start,Sage,” he warned.(p 211)

You, know I’m the Queen’s favorite great nephew, Well, yeah I’m her only great nephew, but that’s not important, I’d still be her favorite…

So. Are you guys here to convert me or sell me siding?

Right. As opposed to your cradle-robbing mentor. I don’t really see you making much progress with him.

I brought my lips down to hers, and it was like everything that had ever happened to me had simply been a warm-up for this moment, that this was where my life truly began.

Can’t you… I don’t. Find a hobby or something?””Being charming is my hobby.

I should go,” I said thickly. “Let me know when you want to start practice again. And thanks for…talking.”I started to turn; then I heard him say abruptly, “No.”I glanced back. “What?”He held my gaze,...

Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies.

Sydney spent a lot of time on my bed these days.Unfortunately, it wasn’t with me.

It’s a fact that people are afraid of what they don’t understand. And most are too lazy or ignorant to find out more.

There was so much testosterone in the air, I felt like I needed a gas mask.

Don’t judge the past by the standards of today. It won’t work. They’re incompatible.

I spent the rest of the day doing little more than that. I skipped dinner. I shed a few tears. But mostly, I just sat on my bed thinking and growing more and more depressed....

It made you happy…

But i do believe in souls being in sync, souls that mirror each other.

Then the best thing I can do is—” He froze. The brown eyes that had been narrowed with aggravation suddenly went wide with…what? Amazement? Awe? Or perhaps that stunned feeling I kept having when I...

My captivity with Dimitri. The way his mouth—so, so warm, despite his cold skin—had kissed mine. The feel of his fangs pressing into my neck and the sweet bliss that followed…He looked exactly the same...

I know how you guys feel about us. I’m not stupid, and believe me, I’ve tried to get you out of my head. But there isn’t enough liquor or art or any other distraction in...

No, you will listen. For once, you’re going to hear something that doesn’t fit into your neat, compartmentalized world of order and logic and reason. Because this isn’t reasonable. If you’re terrified, believe me–this scares...

I’d been raised to be practical and keep myemotions in check, but I loved cars. That was one of the fewlegacies I’d picked up from my mom. She was a mechanic,and some of my best...

So, what’s this mean exactly?” he asked.”You finally come around, and now you’re going to just end things because of her?””Kissing you isn’t exactly ‘coming around.'”He gave me a long, level look. “There was a...

Sydney: I like Latin. It’s fun.Eddie: I can’t believe you think we’re the strange ones.

Me? I didn’t believe in hopeless.

We need to get inside. I think my hair gel’s frozen.
