“It was the sort of bone deep emotion that made him want to hold her tighter with one hand, and draw a sword against the world with the other.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“I wanted you to watch, so I stomped around the room to wake you before I got in the shower. Didn't you wonder why the light was on? It wasn't for me, I can see in the dark. And then I kept the water cold so the glass wouldn't fog.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Luscious, aren't I, poppet? Go on, stare. I don't mind.”

Denise & Ian”

― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“All right, you got that out of your system. Can I get back in the boat without you striking me again? Or should I stay out here enjoying the marine life?"
"Why don't you swim around until you find a shark? Then you can discuss how much the two of you have in common”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“As if Spade's chivalry would allow him to do anything to a woman. The harshest punishment she could imagine him dishing out to Cat would be refusing to open a door for her.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Don't you even think of holding back, or I'll...I'll tell Spade you let me get away from you," she improvised.
"And that I got mugged," she added for good measure.
Cries of "Mon Dieu!" and "That's not fair!" echoed immediately from the two vampires.
"I'm a crazy human female, you know I'll do it," Denise warned them”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“And what are you doing with a bloody cat, Charles? Some sort of mascot four our dear Reaper here?"
"Not another word," Spade snapped, getting into the car and seating the carrier on his lap.
"Ian, trust me--don't," Crispin said”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“A hysterical human? Who hadn't seen that before?”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“It was clear they weren’t getting any information out of Ian tonight. She, Bones, and Cat followed as Spade supported Ian, almost carrying him up the stairs to then dump him on the bed in a guest room. “Before you go, mate, turn on the telly. Something raunchy, too. Think I’ll rub one off before I sleep.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“I tried to tell you that it's not Spade in there."
"You could have tried harder. I absolutely never needed to know that Ian was pierced down there.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“I don't lack for bed partners, so I don't need to scrounge for unwilling scraps.-Spade”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson

“Focus, mate,” Spade muttered.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Denise clung to the feel of his hands as she pushed at her panic. It's okay. You're safe...and this has got to be the ugliest couch ever.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“You'll always love him" he said, as if he'd read her mind. "That doesn't die just because he did, or because you now love me. Your love for him is part of who you are. It's a beautiful part, Denise. Don't be sad of it, and I will never be jealous of it". Denise's eyes overflowed again. Spade was right.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Ian waited outside the airport in the arrivals lane after they collected their bags. He looked at them and his brows rose. “Where’s Denise? And what are you doing with a bloody cat, Charles? Some sort of mascot for our dear Reaper here?” “Not another word,” Spade snapped, getting into the car and seating the carrier on his lap. “Ian, trust me—don’t,” Crispin said before he threw their bags into the boot.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Before you go,mate,turn on the telly. Something raunchy too. Think I'll rub off one before I go to sleep”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Nathanial can show me how to better control the change, but even so, you never have to worry about me turning into a cat again. Didn't you know, I'm allergic to cats.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Thank bloody Christ this is the right bloke. Wicked difficult getting the sod.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“When I remember you, Randy, I'm going to smile, not cry. You're a part of me. One of the best parts. I just wanted to tell you that." She stopp up, brushing the headstone once more. "And if you meet someone called Giselda," she whispered, "tell her she's still part of Spade, too. A beautiful part. Please thank her for that.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“I'm sorry I can't give you the normal life you wanted, but I promise to adore you every day for the rest of your new one.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Any situation was better faced with an empty bladder, a clean body, and a lack of morning breath.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Wretched unfair, it is,” he remarked. “Of the three of us, I’m the one who’s always collected the rare and unusual, yet you two managed to snag the world’s most unusual women. First you, Crispin, with the only living half-breed, who then turned into an even more unusual vampire. And now you, Charles, have bagged a shape-shifter. Thought you were joking when you said Denise was the kitty. I’m simply green with jealousy”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Denise's first thought on seeing her blood stain Spade's lips was "oh shit". Then the fire that leapt into his gaze and the way he dominated her mouth in his next kiss made her decide that self-preservation was overrated.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“There’s less violence in my world compared to yours,” she insisted. Spade sighed. “No, darling. There are only different reasons for it.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“You eat the room service employees every time?” Denise asked, shocked. “Of course. But don’t fret on their behalf. I always tip well.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“Three hard, loud bangs, followed by a bellow of “Open this door!” had her jumping in the next second, startled.
“What the hell?” Spade muttered, letting her go to fling the door open with a scowl.
Ian stood on the other side.
“What is wrong with you, banging on like that?” Spade demanded.
Ian cast a wicked look at Spade, who wore only his shirt, and then one at Denise as she hastily closed her robe.
“Paybacks,” Ian said succinctly. Then he walked away, whistling.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“- Úgy nézel ki, mint egy statiszta a Dracula pornóváltozatából - felelte a nő.
Spade elnevette magát, Ian viszont felszisszent. - Ne is emlegessük. Akárcsak az ördög, Vlad is betoppanhat, ha a falra festjük.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“A vampire private investigator?” he repeated. “You’re putting me on, right?” “I know you have vampire hit men, so why wouldn’t you have vampire private investigators, too?” she flared back. “I can’t just run an ad with Nathanial’s description on it titled ‘Have you seen this soul welsher?”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson
“You greedy schmuck!” Denise burst out.
Ian cast a leisurely glance in her direction. “And now my feelings are hurt. That’ll cost you the boat, too.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from First Drop of Crimson

“So Hermione was the siren, and Lucy was the trusty friend, and all was right with the world. Or if not right, then at least quite predictable.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“So many requests, always, from a lover!
None when they fall out of love.
I'm glad the water does not move
under the colourless ice of the river.
And I'll stand - God help me! - on this ice,
however light and brittle it is,
and you...take care of our letters,
that our descendants not misjudge us,
That they may read and understand
more clearly what you are, wise, brave.
In your glorious biography
No row of dots should stand.
Earth's drink is much too sweet,
love's nets too close together.
May my name be in the textbooks
of children playing in the street.
When they've read my grievous story,
may they smile behind their desklids...
If I can't have love, if I can't find peace,
give me a bitter glory.
1913”
― Anna Akhmatova, quote from Selected Poems
“Above all, readers want useful information, whether from a road sign or an investment guide. This motive is not completely absent even in readers of fiction, although few people read Madame Bovary for straightforward advice on how not to run a marriage. At a more abstract level, readers want a narrative that makes the world seem to make sense, and they sometimes choose stories that fit with their worldview rather than stories that fit the facts.”
― quote from The Midnight Disease: The Drive to Write, Writer's Block, and the Creative Brain

BrimstoneBookQuoters 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.
