“Water finds its way through the smallest spaces and the narrowest cracks. Where the bone meets sinew, where the skin is split. It is treacherous and loving. You can die as easily of thirst as you can of drowning.”

“I will love you to ruination."
"Whose ruination? Your's or mine?"
You did not answer and I still wonder.”
― Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“I wanted you, too. For so long. It was terrible. Sometimes I could barely eat- sorry, I know that sounds like the strangest thing. But for days I didn't feel hungry at all. I was... occupied. You took away all the other wanting from me.”
― Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“But if fairies and monsters were real, so were the women who defeated them.”
