Mary Hollow
“Consider how money is only truly worth anything in the moment of transaction, the sinner said. So it is with power, as well. Power only has meaning when it is exerted on somebody.”
Mary Hollow, No One Came For Me

Jennifer L. Armentrout
“You can let go. I'm not going to stab you.'

'I find that oddly disappointing.'

'And I find that extremely disturbing.”
Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
