“Great. You want me to steal from the local thug. What a delightful way to die.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Cass had a few points but, really, a vampire? Who believed in such a myth? What was Cass suggesting anyway? That I grab my rosary and head for the nearest church begging for holy water? Line my door and windows with salt? Sleep with a wooden stake under my pillow? Hang garlic bulbs from my bedroom door? Why was I even considering these options?”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“The shapes inched closer. I gaped at them, trying to discern their features. "I think I see dead people," I whispered.
"Yep," Aidan said, smiling. "More vampire jokes. You're just fine, then. Once this is over, you and my brother will be BFFs." He wrapped his arms around me, pressing me against his broad chest. Against my better judgement, I leaned into him, strangely comforted.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Great way to impress your future brother-in-law, by the way," Kieran continued. "You look like you took a blood bath. The only thing missing is the axe. Would Dallas really let his little sister date a crazed murderer who hacks bodies in the basement? You need to change that shirt pronto. And oh, you're welcome. I just saved you from making a complete and utter fool of yourself, but don't mention it."
I curled my lips into a fake smile. "Thanks. It's so nice to know you've got my back."
Kieran regarded me coolly. "A hobby might help ease all that hunger. Have you ever considered fixing cars, or woodworking, or maybe a DIY project around the house?"
"You're getting a big laugh out of this, aren't you?"
Kieran shrugged. "There's nothing on TV.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“He simply had to be different and like me the way I was now that I'd fallen in love with him.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Aidan said he'd never hurt me. Maybe he wouldn't do it on purpose, but vampires drink blood. Sooner or later, he'd want a midnight snack.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“I laughed. " So, let me get this straight. You slayed the dragon, jumped over the moat, climbed the tower of the evil King's castle, saved the princes, and rode off with her into sunset aka Shadow land. Why, you're my knight in shining armour.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“We're close. I can smell their faint scent," Blake whispered.
Kieran snorted. "That makes one of us. All I smell is dog shit.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“No, no. I get it. You had to do it." Kieran's eyes narrowed. "Believe it or not, I'm a sucker for romance. Two star-crossed lovers who don't fit in each other's world. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet - just with fangs.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Can't you see, Amber? Losing you would be like a stake to my heart.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Amber laughed. "What makes you think I'd marry you?" "What makes you think you'd have a choice?" "I'm not into bad guys," she said.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“The flicker of a girl appeared; a tiny shape with huge, brown eyes I would never mistake, not even in death.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Your new boss’s a vampire, and if you don’t learn to handle him, you’ll wake up dead. And I hope it’s in Hell because it’s more fun and heaven ain’t all”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“I'm far from perfect- maybe beautifully flawed- but I don't lie”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Hi there, I'm—" "An idiot," Kieran said, rolling his eyes. Thrain grinned and shook Clare's hand. "Well, hello, Miss Idiot.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“What do you see in him anyway?” “He doesn’t leave the toilet seat up.” I smiled bitterly”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“I'm 100% natural. No silicon, no synthetic hormones or steroids, no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“I can still feel my legs, thanks for asking. My back’s not even hurt that badly. Only as though I was just hit by a train.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Somebody call heaven because an angel just fell from the sky.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Men like him should come with a warning: date at your own risk.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“You just haven’t found the right girl,” Clare said. “She’ll come along.” “And then she’ll make a run for the hills.” Cass laughed at her own joke.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Congratulations. You’ve just won a vacation to a big, relaxing place called a grave.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“I thought she wanted out. We should've brought cuffs and a gag." Clare frowned. "What's wrong with you, Blake? This is a rescue mission, not a kidnapping.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“I stood a better chance rescuing Amber with the help of my iPod.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Why couldn’t I just meet a normal guy for a change? Preferably one that didn’t love his car more than me, or one that didn’t need his five-a-day in the form of blood infusions. Was that too much to ask?”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“You haven't told her?" Cass shouted. "You're the worst boyfriend ever!”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“She’ll read your mind like nobody’s business.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“I froze all night. My back’s killing me. I want home, and I’m scared to death. But I guess the view makes it all worth it.”
“You’re funny,” Angel said”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“It’s said people can sense their imminent death. Maybe they hear death’s song in the wind. Or the earth stops turning for a second, mourning those who are yet to pass.”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“Through the windshield, I watched an old woman clad in an old-fashioned, buttoned up dress push a buggy across the street. The long, grey material barely swayed in the wind as she trudged forward, stopping right before us. The lights changed to green. Harry accelerated. He was going to kill them. Gasping, I grabbed hold of his arm, tugging as hard as I could. “No! Stop!” Harry didn’t even flinch as he drove right through them. He signaled and stopped on the bus lane. “What’s wrong? Did you forget something?” For a moment I just stared at him, open-mouthed, then turned in my seat to peer at the crossing. The woman with the buggy wasn’t there. “Where did she disappear?” “Who?” I turned to face him again. “You didn’t see them?”
― Jayde Scott, quote from A Job From Hell
“if you chance upon a big, gray cate, you probably owe him a favor. Even if you do not remember the favor,do it, anyway. In the long run, you will do it, but it will be far less painful if you do it up front.”
― Julie Kagawa, quote from The Iron Legends
“The secret to enjoying your job is to have a hobby that's even worse”
― Bill Watterson, quote from It's a Magical World
“I believe great people do things before they are ready.”
― Amy Poehler, quote from Yes Please
“in this house, speaking and thinking”
― David Baldacci, quote from The Winner
“Fine, fuck it," Clay said, tossing the plate into the yard. The chicken parts bounced nicely, breading themselves with a light coating of sand, ants, and dried grass. "When did chicken become like plutonium anyway, for Christ's sake? You can't let it touch you or it's certain fucking death. And eggs and hamburgers kill you unless you cook them to the consistency of limestone! And if you turn on your fucking cell phone, the plane is going to plunge out of the sky in a ball of flames? And kids can't take a dump anymore but they have to have a helmet and pads on make them look like the Road Warrior. Right? Right? What the fuck happened to the world? When did everything get so goddamn deadly? Huh? I've been going to sea for thirty damned years, and nothing's killed me. I've swum with everything that can bite, sting, or eat you, and I've done every stupid thing at depth that any human can -- and I'm still alive. Fuck, Clair, I was unconscious for an hour underwater less than a week ago, and it didn't kill me. Now you're going to tell me that I'm going to get whacked by a fucking chicken leg? Well, just fuck it then!”
― Christopher Moore, quote from Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
