it occurs to me that there is so much I never knew about him–his past, his role in the resistance, what his life was like in the Wilds, before he came to Portland, and I...

Since when do you care about rules?” “I’m a changed person.””When did you change? Just now? ‘Cuz I heard about your smack down in the cafeteria yesterday.

The god laughed darkly. “Let’s just say I made sure he was playing on our team.”Curious, I started to ask how, but Apollo grinned at me. “Use your imagination,” he said, and my imagination went...

This is the ultimate bad-boy date, isn’t it? Breaking into a different country.””Hey, it makes a change from hot-wiring cars together.””Been there, done that….Alex seriously, are you sure no one’s going to shoot us?

Probably getting it on with the English teacher.” – Alex Gold and Mike Wilson

Why can’t you like me?” he said, his voice breaking. His scent steamed then, hot and heady with a welter of contradictions: apples and fire and electric roil of those cold, black shadows. “Why can’t...

Where are we?” She sat up.”My room at the cabin.””Your room?”He propped himself up on one elbow and shrugged his other shoulder. “Needed someplace soft to land. Besides…Now when you teleport without a destination you’ve...

The idea—the fact of it, the fact that he even noticed and thought about me for more than one second—is huge and overwhelming, makes my legs go tingly and my hands feel numb.

Do you really need me to answer that?”A hot, sweet flush stole across my cheeks. When he was like this—open, flirty, and downright sexy—I was at my lamest. I wasn’t used to this side of...

Karma was a bitch and a half.

Do you love him?” I blurted out.Laadan swallowed and a long pause followed. In the gap, I heard someone moving around in the kitchen.I started to grin. “You like him.”Looking away, her lips pursed.I nudged...

Don’t you understand what you mean to me? You are everything. Never doubt that. My place is with you, only you.

He’s got courage,” Alex said.”Courage!” Raoul bellowed. “That coward almost kills him and–

…what do you want to know? Usual stuff. Serious relationships, age, whether you eat babies. 😀 I’m 30. I think babies are tasty, but empty calories, and I’ve had one long-term serious relationship…

We get a lot of the sky is falling on the weather reports, so when something big does hit, people never expect it. If it’s not as bad as the reports predicted, we complain. If...

Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?””I don’t know any other way.””Let me show you.”And then we’re kissing. Or at least, I think we’re kissing—I’ve only seen it done a...

There was one painting, I remember, that showed a broad, clean sweep of sky and the ocean drawn out to the horizon, and the sand littered with seashells and crabs and mermaid’s purses and bits...

How in the world did they just jump from politics, to a ball, and now to daimon attacks? And here I’d thought I had the attention span of an ant on Red Bull.

We’re in this together, Alex. Don’tever forget that. We’re in this together to the end.

Did I ever tell you that Alex loves you so much he got your name tattooed all over his body? Hell, he even got your name branded into the back of his neck.””They say ‘LB,’...

At first we had so much to catch up on we were talking a hundred words a second, barely even listening to the ends of one another’s sentences before moving onto the next. And there...

His shoulders sagged as he stepped back. Then a half smile made the edge of his lips crook. ” You’re mad at me.””And that’s amusing because?”The half smile spread into a lopsideed grin, and he...

I’ve been trying so hard not to think his name, not to even breathe the idea of him

Eventually she came. She appeared suddenly, exactly like she’d done that day- she stepped into the sunshine, she jumped, she laughed and threw her head back, so her long ponytail nearly grazed the waistband of...

Gods were like possums. You could go your whole life without seeing one, but once you found one of them, you found the whole freaky family.

Maybe,” she grinned.

You knowwhat? It’s already been rethought and completely ditched,” he said. And he wrapped his arms around meand we stood looking up at the mountains, with the rising rays of the sun lighting them from...

I assure you, you’ll survive. The second she starts running her mouth about Aiden, just spray her with bleach. That’ll teach her a lesson.”-Emma and Whitney

I was always on my oddy knocky.

Raccoon.” She saw Ellie put a hand to her mouth to cover the giggles and then looked back at Tom. “Like, you caught it?””Well, it sure didn’t get Fed-Exed […]

Občas prostě musíš udělat něco špatného, abys zabránil něčemu ještě mnohem horšímu. Mám chránit tenhle svět před těmi špatnými a budu to dělat za každou cenu. A jestli to ze mě dělá monstrum… to už...

Soy un mentiroso.Siempre estuve mintiendo. Ella se merecía un ángel, y yo quería serlo por ella.

Just so you know, I get incredibly bored quite easily and you will be forced to be my source of entertainment. You’ll kind of be like my own personal jester.”I flipped him off.”Well that wasn’t...

I think that’s possibly the nicest thing you have said to me. Ever.”I laughed. “No it’s not. I’ve said nice things to you before.””Like what?”There had to be another situation when I’d said something nice....

They do.” Apollo’s eyes narrowed on me. “But I was hoping there was something knocking around in her brain that held the answer to that little problem But—”Apollo smacked a hand down on my leg....

I mean, all over.”He managed to nod. Yes, damn it. And getting excruciatingly larger by the minute.

At one point, I began to think that I had a divine doorman. Lenny was the most unlikely incarnation of God I could imagine, and yet, I kept drifting irresistibly towards this absurd conclusion. Despite...

And he waited. He felt like he was going to throw up. What the fuck was he doing? Hadn’t he learned anything? It was one thing to flirt about sex, but this wasn’t flirting. This...

He’s irritating.” He stood and started to pull up the hem of his shirt. “And he stabbed me.”Alex rolled his eyes. “And you’re still alive. Time to get over it.”Kale held his hand out to...

He is my world and my world is him and without him there is no world.

This was my secret: she was the one who saved me.

The little ball went up, then down, then up in his palm. My inner golden retriever couldn’t look away.

If you wish to join your uncle, I’ll be waiting outside. You should have time to get ready. Your uncle is a…heavy sleeper, also.”Whaaaa…and then it hit me. Ew. Ew. Ew.

Come on.” He dropped a heavy hand on my back, between my shoulder blades, and my breath stalled.I was effectively silenced by his touch. Perhaps that was why he did it. Not many people would...

What would it take for you to go out with me?

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.
