Sí, pero nosotros estamos vivos, Rose. No podemos dejar de vivir porque otras personas estén muertas

Frustration filled his features. “Rose I’ve done a lot of bad things, most of which I can never fix or find redemption for. My only choice now, if I want to reclaim my life, is...

You did what you did out of love. I can’t be mad at you over that. It was stupid, but that’s how love is. Do you have any idea what I’d do for you? To...

You’re my flame in the dark. We chase away the shadows around each other.

Maybe everyone else thinks your aversion to food is cute- but not me. I’ve watched you watch Jill. Here’s some tough love: you will never, ever have her body. Ever. It’s impossible. She’s Moroi. You’re...

I’m telling you, I wanted to. But I was trapped. You of all people should know what it’s like being caught between groups, Sage. Besides, don’t you remember what I said just before you got...

I took ‘primary source’ to a whole new level!” Honestly, it was a wonder we’d gotten by for so long without Angeline. Life must have been so boring before her.

You want to be an alchemist so badly? Don’t wait to react to the immediate problem.Plan ahead. Look at the big picture and you won’t ever have to deal with that problem.Better to save yourself...

Rose is in red, But never in blue, Sharp as a thorn, Fights like one too.

Adrian’s face was the picture of perfect politeness and restraint, meaning something disastrous was about to happen.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I want. To help my girlfriend get her old boyfriend back.

None of you appreciate me. Why is it so hard to believe that I could make a real contribution in these dark rimes?

I don’t care if he’s not the emotional type or the complimentary type or what. No one can look at you in this dress, in all that fire and gold, and start talking about anachronisms....

So far I’m not seeing a lot of difference between me and a carnival con-man.

Other people spoke, and I tried to keep up with the translations. All the stories were about Dimitri’s kindness and strength of character. Even when not out battling the undead, Dimitri had always been there...

Sex had been amazing, but it wasn’t a magical cure for everything. Damn. Somewhere along the way, I’d picked up common sense.

If I let myself love you, I won’t throw myself in front of her. I’ll throw myself in front of you.

So they finally gave you the license to kill, about time.

Something in me didnt believe that. I read it again, trying to make sense of the old-fashioned language. Mason watched me curiously, looking like he very much wanted to help.”Maybe they were hooking up,” he...

No one was normal, not really.

She sat up, cheeks flushed and golden hair tousled. She was so beautiful that it made my soul ache. I always wished desperately that I could paint her in these moments and immortalize that look...

It’s okay. Everything’s going to be okay. You can let go of the sword.””I can’t. I can’t leave him alone. I have to protect him.””You have.

Lure him out. Send in a ‘customer’ with a message from me needing to meet him. I’m not the kind of person he can ignore-well, that he used to not-never mind. Once he’s out, we...

Dimitri.I hadn’t known he was here. His eyes were on me too,dark and endless. Only I couldn’t read what he was feeling. His face betrayed nothing, but there was something in his eyes…something intense and...

Thatʹs a dangerous look,ʺ said Dimitri, giving me a brief glance before returning his eyes to the road.ʺWhat look?ʺ I asked innocently.ʺThe one that says you just got some idea.

One of the guardians distracted Ryan while the other – Dimitri, I now saw grabbed Camille. She screamed, not faking her fear. She apparently didn’t find being in Dimitri’s arms as thrilling as I did.

Well—actually, I am. And I’m pretty sure there are certain things we have to do before you need to be reading that.

Everything I’d fought for, every challenge, every victory … all of it was empty if anything happened to him. Without him, I wouldn’t have had the courage to become the person I was. Without him,...

That creature’s staying?” It figured. Her daughter-in-law transforming into an animal? No problem. Having to take care of a cat? Crisis.

Eddie I’m not going to claim to be any expert in romance, but even I can tell that you’re crazy about Jill.”He promptly looked away, though his blush betrayed him. “That’s not true.

But maybe fun wasn’t so bad once in a while.

I’ve taken debate classes. You’d lose to my logic.

Exactly my point.

I followed along because really, it was hard to say no to Dimitri Belikov about anything.

Did you rob Lissa’s crown jewels?

Never thought my biggest cheerleader would be someone who thought I was evil and unnatural.

I’ll find you. There is no place in this world you can hide from me. I’m watching.Love, Dimitri

My nails dug into his back, and he trailed his lips down the edge of my chin, down the center of my neck. He kept going until he reached the bottom of the dress’s V-neck....

It was a lame excuse, and I knew that wasn’t the reason he was canceling. If he wanted to avoid me, I would have preferred he made up something about how he and the other...

I wished the kiss could have gone on forever. Breaking the embrace, he ran a few fingers through my hair and down my cheek. He stepped back toward the door.”I’ll see you later, Roza””At our...

You’re better than this. Better than whatever it is you’re going to do now.

Poor Martin. Geek or no, committing his soul to eternal damnation was a helluva price to pay for six minutes.

We don’t really have a song or anything.” I pondered that for a second. “I guess we’ve failed as a couple in that regard.”She scoffed. “If that’s our biggest failing, then I think we’re doing...

Blood doesn’t lie

I will always love you.” Then I plunged the stake into his chest.

Ah, my daughter,ʺ he said. ʺEighteen, and already youʹve been accused of murder, aided felons, and acquired a death count higher than most guardians will ever see.ʺ He paused. ʺI couldnʹt be prouder.

I sprang toward him with the stake, hoping to catch him by surprise. But Dimitri was hard to catch by surprise. And he was fast. Oh, so fast. It was like he knew what I...

I am not hanging out with Blake Lazar again.

No one would have guessed this: that living as a Strigoi had hardened his heart, killing any chance of him loving anyone.Killing any chance of him loving me.And I was pretty sure that if that...
