Isabelle snorted. ‘All the boys are gay. In this truck, anyway. Well, not you, Simon.”You noticed’ said Simon.’I think of myself as a freewheeling bisexual,’ added Magnus.’Please never say those words in front of my...

Isabelle waved a hand. “No need to worry, big brother. Nothing happened. Of course,” she added as Alex’a shoulders relaxed, “I was totally passed-out drunk, so he could really have done whatever he wanted and...

One for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, four for a birth, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret that’s never been told. ~ Simon

The Law is hard, but it’s the Law,” Simon added in disgust. “So freaking what? If the Law is wrong, why not change it? Do you know what the world would look like if we...

I hate it when straight guys think all gay guys are attracted to them. I’m not attracted to every guy any more than you’re attracted to every girl.

Yech,” said Simon.”Don’t ‘yech’ me. You’re the one with the magical spit.

Simon!” Clary shouted, and seized his arm. “What?” Simon looked alarmed.”I’m not really sleeping with your mom, you know. I was just trying to get your attention. Not that your mom isn’t a very attractive...

What’s next? You want to convince me they’re making another crap Last Airbender movie?

Is it really love to tell someone that if it came down to picking between them and every other life on the planet, you’d pick them? Is that — I don’t know, is that a...

That’s why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don’t say anything, they just nod. The nod means, ‘I’ am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,’ but they...

I was following you.’ – Jace’Is this the part where you tell me you’re secretly in love with me? Vampire mojo strikes again.’ – Simon

She is fine. She hates us both but it really didn’t sound like anything else was wrong

You’re Simon,” he breathed. “Simon Lewis.

I’m not hugging you.

Do you remember back at the hotel when you promised that if we lived, you’d get dressed up in a nurse’s outfit and give me a sponge bath?” asked Jace.”It was Simon who promised you...

Simon’s love life was complicated, but there was a pang, just for a moment, for this woman talking graphic novels with him. Ah, well. Tessa Gray, foxy nerd, was probably dating someone already.

Simon, you stupid idiot! I’m over here! At the window!”Simon jumped to his feet. He doubted his mind would conjure that up.

He wished he could find a way back to believing, even though he knew better, that she was his to protect.

They think they’re better than everyone else.””No,” said Jace. “I think I’m better than everyone else. An opinion that has been backed up with ample evidence.” Kyle looked at Simon. “Does he always talk like...

I’d die for you. You know that. But would I kill someone else, someone innocent? What about a lot of innocent lives? What about the whole world? Is it really love to tell someone that...

Have you never seen a movie? Read a comic book? That’s always how it starts – just a little temptation, just a little taste of evil, and then BAM, your light saber turns red and...

Be a hero, Simon,” Simon muttered bitterly, remembering the life Magnus Bane had dangled before him in their first meeting – or at least, the first one Simon could remember. “Have an adventure, Simon. How...

Jace: Back from you breakfast meeting, I see. I bet you thought you were very clever, sneaking off like that. Simon: Medium clever. Like a cross between George Clooney in Ocean’s Eleven and those MythBusters...

Also, I’m sleeping with your mom. Just thought you should know.

Of course, everyone’s going to freak out when you show up at school.””Freak out? Why?””Because you’re so much hotter now than when you left.” She shrugged. “It’s true. Must be a vampire thing.”Simon looked baffled....

Well, not in this case. He reached into the Inquisitor and he twisted…” Clary shuddered. “There was a lot of blood.””Like a special bonus for you,” Jace said to Simon.Simon ignored this.

There are worse things,” Magnus observed.

I wanted to tell you that lately I‘ve been cross-dressing. Also, I‘m sleeping with your mom. I thought you should know.

I’ll take Shadowhunter, then. Because from what I’ve experienced of vampires, you mostly suck. No pun intended.

Ms. Loss…,’ said Simon. ‘Can I ask you—what you’re doing?’‘Dean Penhallow has decided that she is not going to order fresh food supplies until all this delicious, nutritious soup has been consumed. So I am...

Being too cool for school was Jace’s thing.

I mean more dead than usual.

The dark prince sat astride his black steed, his sable cape flowing behind him. A golden circlet bound his blond locks, his handsome face was cold with the rage of battle, and…”And his arm looked...

And that – he pointed ahead – is the road to Hell. That’s where we’re going. I have always heard it was paved with good intentions, said Simon

Is your inner vampire different from your…outer vampire?”Definitely. He wants me to wear midriff-baring shirts and a fedora.”So your inner vampire is Magnus?

No. That’s Clary; shes’s my best friend.” Simon pocketed his phone. “And she has a boyfriend. Like, really, really, really has a boyfriend. The nuclear bomb of boyfriends. Trust me on this one.

What?” Simon looked alarmed. ”I‘m not really sleeping with your mom, you know. I was just trying to get your attention. Not that your mom isn’t a very attractive woman for her age.

Very tight.Very leather.

Everybody in this academy, Shadowhunters and mundanes, people with the Sight and without it, every one of them is looking to be a hero. We are all hoping for it, and trying for it, and...

You know what? Don’t explain. Just—put your clothes on, both of you.

Well, I’m not kissing the mundane,” said Jace. “I’d rather stay down here and rot.””Forever?” said Simon. “Forever’s an awfully long time.”Jace raised his eyebrows. “I knew it,” he said. “You want to kiss me,...

For the first time, he looked at her, and she wasn’t a stranger, she was Clary—his friend. His family. The girl he’d sworn always to protect. The girl he loved as fiercely as he loved...

I don’t know who Azazel is,” he said. “Isn’t he the cat from The Smurfs?” He cast about , but Isabelle just looked up and rolled her eyes at him.”Clary?” he thoughtHer voice came through,...

You don’t know her, Simon. I mean, not anymore.

Is this the part where you tell me you’re secretly in love with me? Vampire mojo strikes again.

Isabelle rolled her eyes. “Oh, for the Angel’s sake. Look, if there’s no other way of getting out of this, I’ll kiss Simon. I’ve done it before, it wasn’t that bad.””Thanks,” said Simon. “That’s very...

No. You don’t get to call me Izzy, you don’t send me letters, you don’t follow me into dark corridors and try to save me from rats.””Trust me, we see a rat, it’s every man...

Simon: I love you Isabelle Lightwood! I love you and I will not go away until you tell me you love me too!Isabelle: Take your clothes and go!Simon: Isabelle! Stop throwing clothes at me! Just...

I’m his girlfriend. Which gives me the right to kick your ass if you bother him. That’s how it works.

Where’s Simon?” Clary interrupted.Isabelle wobbled. “He’s a rat,” she said darkly.Did he do something to you?” Alec was full of brotherly concern. “Did he touch you? If he tried anything-“No, Alec,” Isabelle said irritably. “Not...
