    “How long did you resist?” asks Uriel. “Did you push her away? Did you tell her she meant no more to you than any other animal? Oh, Raffe, did she die thinking you didn't care about her? How tragic. That must just tear you to pieces.”
    Raffe looks up with murder in his eyes. “Don't. Talk. About. Her.”

    “What if they don’t let us go through?” I ask, trying not to move my lips.
    “They will,” he answers from the dark recesses of the backseat footwell.
    “How do you know?”
    “Because you have the look they’re looking for.”
    “What look is that?”
    “Beautiful.” His voice is like a caress from the shadows.”

    Rick Yancey
    “But if I'm it, the last of my kind, the last page of human history, like hell I'm going to let the story end this way. I may be the last one, but I am the one still standing. I am the one turning to face the faceless hunter in the woods on an abandoned highway. I am the one not running but facing. Because if I am the last one, then I am humanity. And if this is humanity's last war, then I am the battlefield.”

    “After another half second, he's locked me in a bear hug, crushing me into his chest and lifting my feet a couple inches off the ground as I kick furiously with my heels, twisting my head back and forth, snapping at his forearm with my teeth.
    And the whole time his lips tickling the delicate skin of my ear. "Cassie. Don't. Cassie..."
    "Let...me...go."
    "That's been the whole problem. I can't.”

    “I'm here because they've killed almost all of us, but not all of us. And that's their mistake, son. That's the flaw in their plan. Because if you don't kill all of us at once, whoever's left are not going to be the weak ones. The strong ones- and only the strong ones- will survive. The bent but unbroken, if you know what I mean. People like me. And people like you.”
