“Let me be your anchor. I'll never let you be lost again.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Feverborn

“For fuck's sake, you vanished and I couldn't find you. Do you really think I'm going to let that happen again? If you believe nothing else, concede it will work for that reason alone. I don't lose things that are mine.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Feverborn

“She was a fool. She wept like a helpless child that night at Chester’s while the entire club watched. Not because you broke her finger or threatened her but because you were alive and she was that happy to see you. She was always happy to see you. She lit up inside. You lost her. You let her be lost.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Burned

“Tramp stamp or get the fuck out.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Feverborn

“You’re ashamed of me. Because I’m fat. That’s why you don’t want them to see me.”
She slit her eyes open just barely, lids heavy. “I’m not ashamed of you. And you’re not fat.”
“Look at my belly,” he said tearfully, clutching it with both paws and jiggling.

“Odd way to dress for an investigation," Barrons murmured.

"She's not Dani anymore," Ryodan clipped.

"Would you rather she had on jeans and sneakers?" I said.

"I'd rather she had on a fucking suit of armor," Ryodan said cooly.

And a chastity belt if I could read the looks in a man's eyes. And I could. "She's a woman, Ryodan," I said softly. "Get used to it. Dancer was right. We need to accept her."

“Ryodan finished filling the gas tank, opens the door, and gets back in.
"Ow! If you sit on me one more time." I growl at him, "I'm going to kill you."
"Good luck with that. Don't fucking move every time I get out. You're on my side of the seat again."
"Watch out for my indent," I say crossly.
"Hummer, Mac. Nothing causes indents. Except grenades."
"I have several of those," Jada says. "Persist with your pointless bickering, I'll share one. Pin out."
I ignore her. "I'm cramped. I need to stretch."
"So, get out when I do."
"I'm afraid you'll leave me behind since you can't see me."
"I'd leave you behind if I could see you."
"Christ, would the two of you just shut up?" Dageus growls. You've been at it for hours. I think I have a headache.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Burned

“She waited, thinking you were different from those who used and betrayed her. She believed you would find her, come charging to her rescue. That belief was as misplaced as the monsters we faced were deadly. The day came she finally lost her faith in you, and I was there as I’ve always been there when she needed me.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Burned

“Home.
I knew some truths about that word now.
You weren’t always born into one. But if you were lucky, you found one somewhere along the way. It was a place where you fit and were accepted, where people helped you with your problems and you helped them with theirs. Where you made mistakes and so did they but the love never wavered.
A place where erosions never turned into landslides because you dug one another out. And always would.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Feversong

“He was a broad-shouldered beast.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Feversong

“Ryodan made me question myself and pushed me to be the most I could be.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Feversong

“It's okay to be afraid, Jo. It's what keeps us alive. But falling to that fear is what will get you killed.”
― Brandy Nacole, Deep in the Hollow
