"I've learned that grief isn't something you get over. It's something you carry, something you honor by continuing to live, continuing to love, continuing to fight."

"Everyone has their own version of reality."

"Some bonds are stronger than death, stronger than undeath, stronger than whatever comes next."

"...I'm stronger than she expected, fueled by love and righteous fury."

"...being tossed around like a crash test dummy is getting really old."

"Stubborn little corpse."

"Witches, vampires, werewolves, humans . . . it's all the same story," I say darkly. "Bias. Fear. Loathing. The only creature they can all agree to hate is zombies." I laugh bitterly. "It's easier to hate on other groups than to try and understand them."

"We're headed back to my place, by the way."
I nearly choke on my own tongue, and the sound that comes out is somewhere between a gasp and a squeak. Malachi's smile stretches wider. He's enjoying my reaction way too much.

"In life, few people will ever experience the hell I have survived."

I think I'm going to have to DNF. Just can't get into this at all.

Doing another audiobook listen to be fresh for tonight's Instagram LIVE with narrator Khaya Fraites! :D Join us @yearn_media at 7 PM EST. :D

"Magic is my compass in the chaos, steady where the world refuses to be."

"This competition isn’t just about playing fair—it’s about proving you can handle whatever gets thrown at you.”

....“I killed those vampires. I wasn’t just, quote, ‘feeding on carcasses,’ unquote.” Malachi freaking laughs at that. “Seriously?” I say, which makes him laugh harder. “What are you doing?” I screech when he plays the video again.
“It’s funny,” Malachi says.
“It is in no way funny!”
“Look at how scared they are. It’s kinda funny.”

"Sarcasm is my safe space."

@brainsfordays Thank you for representing the zombie community in a positive light. We’re not all a bunch of mindless monsters. I really hope you win the show.

“I’m supposed to sit at a table all on my own. Can’t sit with the other species. Can’t sit with my own kind because that would be considered hording. Can’t compete on the show because you think a zombie has no business wielding a wand.”

"His eyes, as always, are fixed on me like I'm either a newly discovered star...or a rare strain of bacteria he can't wait to study up close beneath a microscope."

It's not easy being a cute zombie girl.

Annotating!!! This is going to take me a couple months to finish the 3 sets I'm doing for Kickstarter super backers. 😅
