I hate the vamp jobs. They think they’re so suave. It’s not enough for them to slaughter and eat you like a zombie would. No, they want to be all sexy, too. And trust me:...

Consider the coincidences that you do not see.” – Fabian Snowstrom, A Vampire’s Reckoning

An hour would be enough. An hour with my head on the pillow beside yours, foreheads touching, eyes locked with eyes (just the two of us, mind you, minus that sodding cat); an hour to...

For most vampires, it’s an automatic response – scent blood, fangs drop.

No, but I like to hear it.” She smiled back at him with a smile that illuminated her face. She did like to hear it. She hadn’t know Nico for very long, but there was...

What’s next? If there are vampires in there, they probably drink artificial blood plasma substitute.

I AM SALOMAN. GIVE ME MY SWORD!

If this were real life,Ed would have looked at her neck-bite, dead, burp, credits.

Besides, if I wanted ye dead, you’d be dead.” He stressed out the last part.

That’s brain tissue. How can you-?” Claire shut her mouth, fast. “Never mind. I don’t think I wanna know.””Truly, I think that’s best. Please take it.” He showed his teeth briefly in a very unsettling...

The dark-haired clothes horse, who generally meant well, was a dufus, but he was family

Derek’s. Lucas’. Ben’s. It’s beyond me what I must do to make them realize that I’m neither object nor possession. I don’t belong to any of them.

How is Eric?”Very tightly wound. Plus, a lot of stuff happened that he’ll tell you about.”Thanks for the warning. I’ll go to the house now. You’re my favorite breather.”Oh. Well … great.’She hung up.

Longche willed himself to change into his true vampire form. As the helpless vampire watched the transformation, it started screaming. It was still screaming when Longche’s rows of razor-sharp teeth sank into its throat. It...
