Quotes by Kaela Rivera (?)

“Because if I was doing the right thing, if I was following all the goodness I believed in, that was good enough. I didn't care how much Little Lion yelled at me or hated me, or how much I reminded him of his last Bruja; I would treat him like a person. That's what I believed in. That was who I was. I wouldn't let anything - pretending to be a bruja, my town's disdain or Little Lion's anger - rob me of myself.”

“I know you look for the good in everyone. But the truth is, some people prefer the taste of poison, even if it kills them.”

“I was wandering through the cerros - the hills of the desert beyond town - at night, barely avoiding low heads of cactus. In the dark, their spines looked more menacing than they did under the sun. But then, I was a child. Everything looked menacing in the dark.”
