You should be,” I stated, moving for her.

I knew it all along,” he murmured in my ear.”What did you know?”His cool breath blew in my ear as he exhaled. “You are my redemption.” –Caleb Raines; Redemption

Maybe that’s what growing up is. When you can’t be who you are and do what everyone’s telling you to do at the same time anymore. – Rowie from Sister Mischief

This is a battle trophy and nothing to be ashamed of. Every one of your scars makes you more beautiful to me.

It wasn’t premeditated. It was what needed to be done. So I did it.

Excuse me? You’re the one who was out to mislead me with your alluring bimbo slinkiness! What if I had believed your act last night? What if I had fallen deeply and madly in love...

I don’t want to be lonesome. I want to be with you.

Zo, I’m not a damn pussy!’Erik, looking very tall and full-grown, kick-your-butt vampyre-like, snorted sarcastically and then said, ‘No, you’re a damn human. Wait, that does make you a pussy!

The Arum are nothing more than what a human would call a parasite. They are not worth the filthy floor you lie upon.

You don’t remember it. And that automatically means you didn’t do it?

The throbbing shimmy spread through my hips and thighs. I could have sworn my body started to glow as if light were shooting from my fingertips and each strand of hair.

I’m still dropping dishes thinking in slow motion about the GPS woman in Mom’s car. I imagine her beckoning me from outside the kitchen window illuminated like some robot-angel calling me forth to the Lexus...

ARE YOU CRAZY?” I ASKED. He gave me the same wordless look he always did when I asked that question.

Why did you wear heels? How are you supposed to fight a gargoyle in what you’re wearing?

I’m already under the covers when he comes in. I watch as he takes off his shirt and jeans, and climbs into bed beside me. On any other occasion, the sight and feel of his...

A seal the size of Canada attaches to her soul light.

I don’t know how it happened. Nobody does. There are only theories, empty rhetoric and doomsday prophecies. None of them are right, but none of them are completely wrong, either. They all have a grain...

The first few weeks of school were always surreal, like you landed on an alien planet with strange teachers and unfamiliar classrooms, even though the lockers and cafeteria seemed familiar.

Cat’s heated gaze meets mine, and she smiles. Another piece of my heart is hers.

You know what scares me? You think I’m a monster.

If Liana wanted to fight over Harlow, she was going to lose. Not that I liked him that way. That was to say, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Harlow, but it damned sure...

Now I am their sword. And I do not forgive. I do not forget. So let him lead me onto his shuttle. Let him think he owns me. Let him welcome into his house, so...

You just called me a bitch!But that’s not a bad thing. See what I meant was you’re an unapologetic hard ass!

We’re both whisper-screaming at each other. All I can think is this is the worst possible way to break up with somebody.

I’d rather be known as a freak than a science project.

I picked up my camera and held it at arm’s length and took a picture of myself not caring. I called it: Glory Doesn’t Care.

I sort of liked the sound of bones breaking. It was like home.

One can learn from what is not said.

Boat.Toby.1pm.Shit!

Not in this country.

Beautiful,” he says, his face turning red.

Porque el cielo siempre es bonito. Incluso cuando está nublado y llueve, es maravilloso mirar al cielo. Es mi cosa preferida porque sé que si alguna vez me pierdo o estoy asustado, solo tengo que...

In the Empire, the Scholars are not allowed to read and, like so many bullies and power-seekers who hide behind ideologies to justify the terrible things they do, their oppressors wear masks. ‘An Ember in...

Do not forget about the butterflies.

He continued to attack the gate. His arm started to ache. The hammer was designed for neither brute nor force. “Are you all right up there?” asked Eleanor. “Want me to go see if I...

My eyes meet his and I understand exactly what he’s saying. He’s my person. He’s my home.

‘I’m sorry,’ he says. ‘I don’t usually like people. So when I do, part of me is really amused and the other part refuses to believe it’s happening.’

You go, girl!” smirk right back. I think of CK, how he and I often sat like that. Not because we were seconds from making out or wanted to look like a couple, but just...

We sat in silence for a while. I gazed through the window at the night sky, wondering idly at all that space, all that blackness, all that nothing, and as I sat there looking up...

She decided that if Lucas was gay then she was going to have to get a sex change operation. He would be so worth it.

Grandma’s house had the atmosphere of a Tupperware box left out in the sun. Like a tropical flower, she had to be kept warm and moist at all times, or she would wilt and die.

Happiness. It was the place where passion, with all its dazzle and drumbeat, met something softer: homecoming and safety and pure sunbeam comfort. It was all those things, intertwined with the heat and the thrill,...

It was as if the news itself wanted to reassure me. Even Jack the Ripper himself had reappeared as part of the greeting committee.

You’re saying everything I want to hear, but I don’t know if I can trust it.

And just as I thought that my happy ending was beginning, it had to end so soon even though it hadn’t started yet.

Gansey had once told Adam that he was afraid most people didn’t know how to handle Ronan. What he meant by this was that he was worried that one day someone would fall on Ronan...

You should only fall in love with people who will fall in love with you back.

This is your life – not your parents’, teachers’ or significant other’s. If you ever find yourself on a path that just doesn’t feel safe anymore, you have every right to stop the car, get...

Love is a monster.
