― Christina Henry, Alice

“Nena no longer feared boogeymen or ghosts snatching at her plaits when rain lashed the rancho and lightning fractured the broad, black sky. In the last year, Tejas had been ripped out of México, leaving a gaping wound in its wake. She had learned that there were real monsters to be mindful of now.”
― Isabel Cañas, Vampires of El Norte

“Maybe that’s what immortality is: remembering the tastes of your youth while feeding your children.”
― Andrew Van Wey, Head Like a Hole

“Nena was his home. The one thing on earth more precious to him than his own life. Whatever that creature was, it did not matter—the only thing that mattered was getting it away from her.”
― Isabel Cañas, Vampires of El Norte
