Bex (Beckie Bookworm)

“He can’t understand that what I’ve done was to ensure his safety. He thinks I’m a monster. A burden that he has to endure. A danger to the family. He wants nothing to do with me and avoids me. When he can’t avoid me he has a look in his eye that I know well, and the look says, ‘Why won’t she die? Why won’t she just die?’ I’m like that room upstairs; he just wants to close the door and forget any of it happened. He wants to close the door so eventually, like our mother, I’ll become the beautiful woman that died too young and nothing more. All my sins will be forgotten and hidden, locked away never to be spoken of again”
― Angelique Jones, Michael

“You don’t turn your back on family because you don’t know where the knife is going to land, and you don’t leave family behind because loose ends come back to haunt you.”
― Angelique Jones, Michael

“She did a karate chop move down the middle of the blankets. She was trying to draw a boundary line. Fucking adorable.”
― D.D. Prince, The Dominator

“They say that the devils greatest trick was convincing man that he didn’t exist but their wrong. You are the devils greatest trick. Your very name is a trick. You are no Angel but a demon from hell sent to test us and while the men have failed I will not. Do you understand, I will not. I see you for what you are so go back to hell because I will not yield another member of my family to you.”
― Angelique Jones, The Matriarchs
