Review for
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars for
'Then I caught a sense of it, like a taste in the back of my mouth. Magic,they weren't just guys looking for trouble. They were Vampyre with trouble written all over them. And there were two more, less than a metre and a half away.'
My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars for
'Everyone knows that these wars have torn our country apart, have destroyed our prosperity, our friendliness between neighbours, our trust of strangers, the love between brothers, the safety of our roads, the affection for our king; and yet nothing seems to stop the battles.'
My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars for
'His scent assaults my nose. Someone should seriously bottle it up for me. His voice gives me goosebumps. He's much taller than I thought. I'm 5'7" and wearing heels and I still have to tilt my head to look at him. I finally manage to croak out, "I'm fine." He smiles at me. I feel faint. If it were possible, I'd melt.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars for
'We may be of the same family but that is the very reason why we are not friends, for we are rivals for the throne. What quarrels are worse than family quarrels? We may all be cousins; but they are of the house of York and we are of the house of Lancaster. Never forget it.'

4/5 stars to
'I danced until the sun set and the sky grew dark. I danced until I tore through the same CD three times. I danced until I'd chugged down two liters of water. But no matter how hard I danced, or how intensely I concentrated on perfecting each and every step, I never stopped thinking about Jude.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars to
'People will always believe what they see over what they feel. In every case there's always a greater truth than eyesight reveals.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars to
'We stand hand-clasped, our faces quite blank, as if this were not a nightmare that tells me, as clearly as if it was written in letters of fire, what ending a girl may expect if she defies the rules of men. I am not only here to witness what happens to a heretic. I am here to witness what happens to a woman who thinks she knows more than men.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
5/5 stars to
'The Balance, my boy, is the war that has been waged since before time was time, the battle within ourselves to do what is good and reject what is bad. It is a delicate line we all walk, a constant struggle of push and pull.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
3/5 stars to
'She was alive, and although if anyone were to find out the truth, they would seek to brand her a monster. They would be wrong; she was now so much more than Juliet Carlson.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars to
'Don't you get it yet: evil can only survive in a world where people allow it to. Nobody has to die for hatred to stop, they simply have to stop hating.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars to
'I'd never felt more vulnerable than I did the moment Derek Novak's electric blue eyes settled on me. His gaze betrayed the thoughts roaming his mind. I was a lamb - a lamb ready for slaughter.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
3/5 stars to
'I had a fleeting second of incredulity that there'd ever been a time I hadn't known the extent of the supernatural world. And here I sat in Lucky Bar-B-Q with two witches, two part-demons, a telepath, and a weretiger.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
5/5 stars to
'She was gone, and yet she was more present than anyone else. I'd fallen in love with Amy because I was the ultimate Nick with her. Loving her made me superhuman, it made me feel alive.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars to
'Everything felt way too big in this house. With all this vast space between everything, it felt like I was trapped on an island. I always thought that's what I wanted, to be my very own island. But here I was, and I felt nothing but isolated and confused.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars to
'If not for his beady eyes and puny size, he may have been considered distinguished looking by some. But she was all about the eyes, and his held a madness within the squinty glare.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
5/5 stars to
'Does he treat you with respect at all times? That's the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire you to want to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes about to all three, then you've got yourself a good man.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
3/5 stars to
'She suddenly realised that it didn't matter. Maybe it wasn't about ever getting over it. It was about finding the truth, getting justice for Clint, stopping worse things from happening. There was no time for self-pity. She had a big job ahead.'
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
4/5 stars to
'Somewhere deep down inside her, there was a puzzle she could not solve. This feeling made her uneasy and edgy, so she buried it away and kept it hidden. In her dreams though, came the desire to seek it out. And in her dreams something, or someone, was seeking her.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'It was the most horrible thing I'd ever seen. At first my mind wouldn't even register what it was. Later I thought that must have been some kind of instant defense mechanism. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. I blinked and peered into the darkness. Something looked slick and wet and -'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'The sense made her feel different from everyone else, estranged from them. She felt as if she were living in a different, parallel universe, like a ghost. It filled her with a gnawing loneliness.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'His smile lit up my world. It shattered my previous existence, and again the same eerie feeling washed over me. Like I was running out of time, or maybe like the darkness was coming again.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'Mick woke up with a start,body trembling. He was staring at the floor, head hanging over the cot. He twisted over and sat up, rubbing his face,blinking to bring the room back into focus. Tears in his eyes, a fading scream sinking back into his throat.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'At 2am, a veil lifts. But what happens when you don't know the time? What happens when the light never goes off? That's what it's like, in the white room. It's limbo. It's neither real nor fantasy. It's not life and it's not death. Time doesn't matter here. I'm not sure what does, really.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
5/5 stars to
'Her hair was as vibrant as ever, shimmering in the flame of the candlelight, and her eyes were still that remarkable shade of summer blue. Four years. He thought he had forgotten her. He was mistaken.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'Susanna's stomach did a little flip-flop. It was the eyes.Though the lines at the corners seemed less pronounced, and the hard edge of pain was no longer there, they were his eyes, a strange colour that must be hazel but looked amber. Was it really him?'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'She sat quite still, letting the noise wash over her like surf. They were still all beautiful and there was still enchantment and wonder, but she had crossed a line and now the fairy tale was green with corruption and evil.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
5/5 stars to
'Jack Torrance looked back over his shoulder once into the impenetrable,musty-smelling darkness and thought that if there was ever a place that should have ghosts, this was it.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'Nala hissed long and menacingly, staring back over my shoulder at the darkness surrounding the huge old oaks that were usually so familiar and welcoming. Not tonight. Tonight they housed monsters.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
5/5 stars to
'My whole world turned from a place full of vibrant colors to a dull,lifeless gray. The sky, the grass, the trees...all the things that were once beautiful were stripped of their magnificence the moment I realized I was responsible for our best friend Hope's disappearance.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'The air in the room became thick and hot. It made me dizzy and breathless. I didn't fall for quick and easy words like a gullible teen, but man I was falling for his.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'I've learned during my time with Andrew that being spontaneous and breaking free from the mold is often a good thing. After all, we wouldn't be together today if I myself didn't have some firsthand experience with being spontaneous.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'She was always there, no matter if I was awake or asleep, the idea of her lingering in the back of my mind. The way her cheeks dimpled when she smiled. The curve of her body. Her mysterious eyes. Her secrets.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars to
'If enough people go out of their way to help someone else, the spirit of kindness eventually breaks through the darkness, the way sunshine breaks through clouds after a storm and allows even more kind acts to follow. My hope has always been that some day kindness will prevail, and there won't be any Furies for us to fight.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
3/5 stars to
'Kiera opened her eyes to view the colourless sky above. Everything seemed hazy. Her brain felt like a sponge, like it was too big for her head. Her body ached and was angry with her. Then she remembered.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
5/5 stars to
'My whole life was shifting, like I was experiencing my own personal earthquake. I felt the plates shifting and rearranging below the surface. I felt the fire and heat molding and shaping them. I felt change, whether I wanted it or not. It was happening, and I might as well embrace it.'
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
5/5 stars to
'She'd discovered long before that loneliness could be a dull background ache or it could be sharp and painful. It could bite into the soft parts of a person leaving bruises, or it could just nip gently at the edges of your subconscious. She'd learned to live with it, but tonight the O'Neils had ripped away all the protection she'd so carefully wrapped around herself, leaving her vulnerable and exposed.'
