·Badger - Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston location 4850, 81%, pg.342 (1/9/16)
Livy had shifted and was now high up in the tree, now fistfighting with a squirrel. Livy's shifted form was huge compared to a full-blood honey badger, but a hundred-pound ratal shifter was still tiny compared to the lion, tigers, and bear shifters. Of course that difference never stopped Livy from taking them all on at one time or another. Honestly, Livy would fight the Queen of England if she thought the woman stared at her too long.
·Call - Toxic by Eve Langlais location 95, 5% (1/13/16)
I had a joke for them. What do you call a human who mocks a vampire? Dinner. My nails elongated and dug into the wood of the podium, creating deep gouges. My eyes bled black - I couldn't stop them as my ire grew - feeding my dark side. A few of the reporters squirmed under my gaze and went silent, but others metmy eyes and, instead of the flinching I'd grown accustomed to, roared louder with laughter.
·Content - From Russia With Claws by Jacey Conrad location 2837, 64% (1/6/16)
It was like he knew every cell in her body, like he'd gotten a Master's in the study of giving her orgasms. She threaded her fingers through the damp hair at his temples, content to just feel his breath against her, his chest rising and falling in time with hers.
·Excessive - Stone Guardian by Danielle Monsch location 3037, 70%, pg.260 (1/24/16)
Beside the stone giants was a man. He was human, unless excessive geasiness was a special characteristic of one of the new races. He was in charge of admittance - allowing entrance at his whim, denying those who seemed to have a problem with him putting his hand under their skirts. Anyone who voiced disappointment was given a look by one of the giants, after which they slunk away.
·Goodbye - Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon pg.226 (1/16/16)
Thinking only about saving her, Talon didn't realize he was in the sunlight until he felt his skin catching fire. Cursing, he fell back into the club and watched helplessly as Camulus paused at the car and held Sunshine's head up so that Talon could see her face. "Say goodbye to your wife, Speirr. Don't worry. I'll take really good care of her." Camulus put her in the car and drove away.
·Hook - Hot Demon in the City by Connie Suttle location 1908, 38% (1/5/16)
If I joined a gym, I intended to go at a time when it wouldn't be too busy, or filled with weekend clients only looking to hook up. "Come on, Prissy Pants," Kory teased. "Let's get your sweat on." "That sounds so attractive," I mumbled and followed him to the door. "Jerk."
·Hover - Unfinished Muse by R.L. Naquin location 487, 11% (1/1/16)
I hovered my pencil between mortal danger, all of the above, and none of the above. How the hell was I supposed to know anything about company policy. The question didn't even mean anything to me in the first place. Clients? Revelation? Greek mythology had been a fun little trivia quiz, but this made no damn sense at all.
·Lantern - Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon pg.256 (1/16/16)
Talon flung open the door, ready for battle. Instead of another group of Daimons, what they found was Sunshine tied on a bed in a room that was lit by a small lantern. Moaning, she was writhing and twisting as if she were on fire. Terrified something was wrong with her, Talon rushed to her side while Vane and Fang searched the room for more Daimons.
·Property - Switching Hour by Robyn Peterman location 86, 4% (1/17/16)
"First of all, we didn't sleep. And how in the hell was I supposed to know Mr. Sexy Pants was her boyfriend?" "Um, well, let me see...did the fact that he was wearing a Property of Baba Yaga t-shirt not ring any fcking bells?" I was so done. I'd been stuck in a cell with Sassy the Destructive Witch for nine months - sawing my own head off with a butter knife had become a plausible option. I was beyond ready to get the hell out.
·Witness - Hate F*@k: The Complete Story by Ainsley Booth location 3225, 72%, pg.301 (1/3/16)
Clara Forrester changed her flight to the next day, and Jason got a heads up from a friend in Miami that the Feds were going to stop her from leaving the country. Excellent idea. Piss poor execution. I can't think of a faster way to make her an uncooperative witness.
