Quotes from Kelley Armstrong

When I finally stopped talking, she said, "Are you crazy?" "Hey!" Sam said. "No, seriously. You think you're going to change into a cougar? Maybe in thirty years you'll start thinking college boys are kinda hot, but that's the only sort of cougar you can turn into, Maya. Anything else is nuts.

We got out. I glanced at Daniel. He sighed. "Go on." "You sound like you're giving a five-year-old permission to play with an unsuitable friend." "If the shoe fits…

As I made my way through the forest, I'll admit I was also straining for a familiar bark or whine. I hadn't said a word about Kenjii since leaving the store. How could I without making it sound like I put her on the same level as Hayley.

Oww…," he said. "There'd have been a bigger oww if he hadn't swerved," I said. "That would not look good on your obituary. Survived a helicopter crash, armed kidnappers, and three days in the woods, only to get mowed down by a passing redneck." "From now on, we'll flag down cars from the shoulder." Daniel looked at Corey, who was rubbing his sore butt. "Or maybe the ditch.

Are you mad because I didn't take the kiss? It wasn't an insult. I have every intention of cashing that check. Just not with all your friends watching." "I appreciate that." "Yeah?" Another searching look. Then he smiled. "Good." "Doesn't mean I'll accept the chit when you cash it. But you scored points for chivalry.

Go on." "You sound like you're giving a five-year-old permission to play with an unsuitable friend." "If the shoe fits…" I flipped him off. "Watch it or I won't marry you," he said. "Truck or no truck.

The next vehicle didn't come for a long time. It was a car full of guys not much older than us. "Quick, girls," Corey said. "Give them some incentive. Take off your--" He glanced at Sam. "Maya, take off your shirt." Sam clubbed him in the arm, hard enough to make him yelp. We waved and yelled. They waved back and kept going. Idiots.

Harsh truth was better than comfortable lies.

I flipped him off. "Watch it or I won't marry you," he said. "Truck or no truck." I laughed and jogged over to Rafe. "Did he just say…?" Rafe began. "Yes. And don't ask.

A distant splash told us someone had gone in the water. Retrieving the bodies? Removing identifying parts from the helicopter? It sounded far-fetched, but if you kidnapped kids in a helicopter that crashed, you didn't want local fishermen finding the wreckage.

You want a logical explanation? String the facts together. The scenes.

all that mattered was that she was with you and she was happy and you were off on some grand adventure together.

According to Cortez, the Cabals had strict policies against employing any supernatural being that might mistake them for lunch.

So, I guess you'll be moving on, then? she said. Got thing to do? Places to be? Daniel winced. Corey lifted his brows. Rafe only sputtered a laugh. Well, at least you didn't say you're sorry to see me alive.

As we walked, he'd been looking around. I asked what he was looking for. "Someplace private," he said. "So we can talk more? That's so sweet." He laughed. "Talking's good, but the bell's going to ring. Not much time for deep conversation." "Not much time for anything else, either." A wicked grin. "There's enough.

Sam) We need to focus and having Maya moon over Rafe us making everyone uncomfortable. Rafe grinned. Doesn't bother me. Because your ego really needs the encouragement.

There's a nook around back," I said. "It's an emergency exit, so no one ever uses it." "I thought you didn't date guys from school?" "Doesn't mean I don't know the make-out spots." "Make-out? I thought we were talking. But if you insist…

I tugged him into the nook, wrapped my hand around the front of his shirt, pulled him to me, and kissed him. He chuckled, the vibration buzzing through our kiss. I'm bold, but I'd never been this bold. With Rafe, I could be. He liked bold. If his return kiss was any indication, he liked it a whole lot.

Derek) No casting? No practicing? He shook his head. Don't tell Simon that. Don't tell Simon what? said a voice behind us. We turned to see Simon step out of the doorway. That Tori doesn't need to use incantations to cast, Derek said. Seriously? He swore. You're right. Don't tell me. He picked his way across the roof. Better yet, don't tell her that I need incantations and weeks of practice, and I still suck.

I don't have the same symptoms as you guys," he finally said. "But I know you think I'm something, too. Something supernatural." "There were two other terms on that list," Daiel said. " Xana and sileni ." "Which are…?" "I have no idea.

We need to keep going," Daniel said. "We lost a lot of time yesterday." "What? Are we on a schedule?" Hayley said. "Is there a bus waiting to pick us up somewhere?

No, I'm telling you to get an expert. An outside opinion. I'm neither. Also, my name is either Jesse or Jasser. Mr. Mandel is my dad and calling me that isn't respectful, it's patronizing.

I fired. The bullet hit him below the shoulder. He fell, his mouth working, eyes wide with shock. "It might not be fatal," I said. "Depends on how long it takes you to find your cell phone.

And Sam? Well, she's not even human, so she doesn't count." "Excuse me?" Sam said. "Face it, you're not one of those bendo-things. You're a robot. A cyborg. Probably an evil one, programmed to murder us all in our sleep." Corey snickered. "Yeah?" Sam lifted a fist to Hayley. "You want to try that one again, blondie?" Hayley looked at Daniel and me. "I rest my case.
