Gig Quotes

“She stared into his eyes and announced, “A good-bye kiss.”
It was at that Raid stopped dead. “What?”
“Raiden, the gig is up,” she declared, and Raid closed his eyes.

There wasn't a large market for women who'd recently been freed from the Underworld, and she needed to make money.”
― Elizabeth Lim, A Twisted Tale Anthology

“Give a chance to the broke and talented, and they will bleed from their souls and set the world on fire.”
