Apollo nodded and Dionysus bowed to the room, sweeping his arms out to the sides with a flourish. And then he was gone.I shook my head. “Okay. Who else thinks he was high as a...

Te mereces a alguien que te ame con todo su corazón, alguien que piense en ti constantemente, alguien que pase cada minuto de cada día preguntándose qué estás haciendo, dónde estás, con quién estás y...

I blinked at the haul. “Are you planning to go to war? Sure you don’t want to pack an assault riffle as well?”He looked up from the bag. “You have met yourself, right?””So should I...

Alex loved books. He was the one who first introduced me to poetry. That’s another reason I can’t read anymore.

He has left nothing except for a note, which I find neatly folded under one of my sneakers.The Story of Solomon is the only way I know how to explain.And then, in smaller letters:Forgive me.

I think he was worried about pushing things too far for the time being since I was obviously rocking a first-class ticket to certifiable insanity.

Oh, that’s the pot calling the kettle black.Amusement flowed through the connection as Seth said, Or it’s the pot calling the pot a pot.

Hey, you’ve got the girl, I’ve got the picture. That’s fair, right?

When you came down the stairs, and fell into me, that was the moment.” Then his lips pressed against mine.

Where do I come into all of this? Am I just some animal or dog?’ And that started them off govoreeting real loud and throwing slovos at me. So I creeched louder still, creeching: ‘Am...

I can’t repair my wall as fast as you can tear it down.

Just say, ‘no’, Alex, dear.””You make him sound like a drug.

En mi mente, yo estaba reviviendo toda mi vida de nuevo – lentamente, tomando mi tiempo. Retrasándolo. Porque sabía que, tarde o temprano, llegaría a ella.Y entonces… Bueno, ya había muerto una vez. No podría...

I want to kiss you.

Okay. I’ll admit, I slept or doodled through most of my classes. I have no idea who you’re talking about.

By the way,” Aiden said casting me a long look that had me totally forgetting the seriousness of our mission. “You look damn good in a Sentinel uniform.”A hot flush that had nothing to do...

Or I will prove to you just how innocent you are, my sweet, and how very little control you have over a man and a man’s desires.

Oh no. I’m not gonna let you leave yet. I’m gonna show you the value of takin’ your time to get to work. I probably should have done this a long time ago.

While I don’t want to experience that again, I learned a lot about myself today and about you. And Nick, even. I didn’t know it was possible for me to feel closer to you. I...

As cheesy as this is gonna sound, everyone join hands.”Alex looked from my face to our tangled fingers and smirked. “As much as I like this, I’m thinking now’s not the time to sing ‘Kumbaya’.

I’d rather die on my own terms than live on theirs. I’d rather die loving Alex than live without him.

I was thinking of Lena. Of course. I was always thinking of Lena.

You told me you wanted to marry Seth’s bed, and then you told me you’d marry me if I asked. After that, you started to-“”Enough,” I groaned, wanting to crawl under the blankets.

Persephone smiled. “Caleb and I play Super MArio Kart every day at one, and when he cancelled on me I knew something was up.”I looked at Caleb slowly.

Then he leaned forward and rested his cheek against mine. Hot tingles spread through me as his lips moved against my ear. “You should tell me to stop.” I didn’t say a word.

Something is happening. I sense a change in the wind…a mutual understanding of each other. I haven’t felt this way in forever.

I mean, contrary to popular belief, I’m actually not harboring a secret desire to grow up and become a bioterrorist.

Welcome,” Bell said, not rising from a large wooden chair that had been placed in the center of the room like it was a throne. Would that make him the king of sewer rats?

I know the rules. I’ve been living here longer than you have.”He cracks a smile then. He nudges me back. “Hardly.””Born and raised. You’re a transplant.” I nudge him again, a little harder, and he...

Alex.

I wouldn’t give up being a Sentinel for the world. Or being the Apollyon. I rock.””Wow. You’re so humble.

Well, why didn’t you tell me that to start with? We could have saved a lot of money,” he teased.

The look in his eyes melted me.

When I said I had no choice about helping you, I meant it. There was no other option because you are the only option. I don’t trust anything at the moment. But the one thing...

Civilised my syphilised yarbles.

Maybe it was possible to relinquish control. He could do this, with Bengt he could. Give himself up and fly. He closed his eyes, let himself be pulled in by the touch. Bengt’s arms. Bengt’s...

She’d known the guy a grand total of five minutes and he’d already left her a sour first impression. The last thing she ought to be doing right now was ogling his six-pack.

Déjame decirte algo sobre morir: no es tan malo como dicen. Es traer de vuelta a la vida partes que hieren.

You know what? Lets go.” I shot Aiden a defiant look. “Come on Seth. Let’s go continue our lovers’ quarrel.””Yes my love, that sounds fantastic. Don’t forget to grab a dagger so you can poke...

That’s not what this is.” I stared at Apollo, but damn, that globe fascinated him. “If there’s going to be a god gunning for my butt -” “It is a nice butt,” Aiden murmured as...

Throwing a sub at the Apollyon probably wasn’t something that should be done in public. But I couldn’t help it; I laughed.

He gave her everything. Everything but the promise of a future. And she met his dark strokes with a plunder of her own, holding his gaze, raking his soul of its secrets. She knew just...

But the fantasy kingdom and trappings of success soon lost their luster, as I discovered that the most prestigious and remunerative of my resume’s way stations was also the most tedious and unfulfilling I had...

As he walked, he knew the bathroom instantly because of the reflective tile floor. Hers would be the last door again. As he took another step forward, he could see a sliver of skin cut...

Kale turned away from me and stepped to Alex. “I know exactly what that means, and if you say it again, I’ll touch you.””Sorry, dude,” Alex said, waving his hands. He flashed Kale a mock...

This is what I want. This is the only thing I’ve ever wanted. Everything else—every single second of every single day that has come before this very moment, this kiss—has meant nothing.

It sounded like the world was ending. But it wasn’t.

Oh, for the love of baby daimons everywhere, I’m ready to start practice.” I pushed up from the chair.

He watched you like a man starved for the only thing that could fulfill his hunger.”My eyes popped out and my body flushed about a thousand shades of red. “Oh, wow…

I feel it in here,” she said, placing her hand against her chest and then against her stomach, “and here. It’s like there’s not enough air or room inside me. That I may… burst out...
