“Matthew kept hinting that his desire - for blood, chiefly- was so strong that it put everything else at risk. But vampires weren’t the only creatures who had to manage such strong impulses.

A wish, a need, a hunger too strong to be denied- these could turn into deeds when they cross a witch’s mind.”
