“I swear I'll snap your neck just because you're annoying me,”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“He grabbed hold of her, pulling her against him. A small gasp of surprise escaped her as he fell to his knees before her. He wrapped his arms around her waist as he rested his head against her stomach. "You humble me Arianna. I don't deserve you; I did nothing to earn your love, or the gift … that your presence has brought back to my life.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“He's not going to leave here without her," Jack's gaze was steady, yet sad as he stared at the two of them. "He won't be separated from her again, and he'll kill you if you try to stop him”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“The monster inside of him was clawing to break free, while the man inside of him was tempted to fall to his knees and beg Ashby to give her back to him, unharmed.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“She engulfed him, filled him, she eased every awful thing inside of him. He trusted that he did the same for her.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade



“He kissed her forehead, his nose rubbed briefly against hers as he nuzzled her neck. "I love you too Arianna," he breathed, his mouth hot against her ear. His words only caused more tears to flow.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“her. For the first time she realized the true depth of his desire to protect her. He”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“She had never truly liked the caves, but now she found herself terrified by the prospect of going back in there. Her skin was clammy, she was shaking. She”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“He was simply staring at her and Braith as if they had just sprouted two heads, jumped on a table, and started dancing a jig while singing at the top of their lungs. Aria”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“She chafed against the invisible restraints he had placed on her and his protective urges but it would only irritate him more if she fought with him. Braith”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade



“She hated to be confined, hated being trapped anywhere. She was everything that the woods were; open, wild, and free. It”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“He's not going to leave here without her," Jack's gaze was steady, yet sad as he stared at the two of them. "He won't be separated from her again, and he'll kill you if you try to stop him. You can't go William. This has to happen," Jack”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“Horror filled her as the low pitched warning whistle echoed through the caves. William froze for a moment; the gate was still partly open when she sensed, more than heard, something approaching. William”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“She lost herself to his incredible touch, scent, and feel. His presence was overwhelming, and yet so blissfully soothing. His”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“She had never felt claustrophobic within the tunnels before, now she felt like a caged rat running aimlessly forward. If they got out of this she swore she would never return to these caves. Then again, they could never return to them anyway, they would never be safe again.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade



“He was shaken, the monster inside of him was clawing to break free, while the man inside of him was tempted to fall to his knees and beg Ashby to give her back to him, unharmed. He”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“And she hated the monster that had done this to her, the creature that had stomped all over her heart, making her weaker, making her a broken shell of the person she had once been. And”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“There wasn't any other woman. It was just us, and if anyone else had known that, if your family had known that, they would have done everything they could to destroy what was between us.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“she was captivated by his masculine beauty, and the tender soul that he revealed only to her. She thought of him on his knees before her, humbled by her, his heart and soul bared for her to take, or to turn away. She thought of all of his gentleness, the care and protection he had always offered to her, even when he had owned her. He was wonderful, he was everything, and he was hers.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“he was fairly certain that despite her vows of love, and her promises to never leave him, she had run eagerly through the tunnel once it had been revealed to her. She was a fickle bitch after all, or at least that's what he had come to believe. Why else would she vow to love him forever and then leave him the very next morning?”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade



“We can't help it, you are his bloodlink; Ashby is mine. We don't have a choice, if you were a vampire you would understand the driving force that propels us to make sure that they are safe, and kept with us. You would also understand the fact that your humanity tests every boundary of his control. I”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“The sun was breaking over the mountains, its bright rays lit up the forest around her as they filtered through the leafy bowers. She stood for a moment, her head tilted back to allow its warmth to caress her, to soothe her, if only just a little.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“What exactly is a bloodlink?" Aria inquired. "It's a deep connection between vampires. Our blood calls to each other. We grow stronger off of it when we share it. The connection is instantaneous, as Braith well knows, and it is unbreakable. It will eat you alive if you're kept from each other, something else that Braith seems to have discovered.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“Her response was so honest, so vulnerable that it tugged at his heart. He”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“These woods were engrained in her soul, a part of her, and she knew when a predator was near. The hair on the back of her neck stood up, a chill crept down her back before seeping through her limbs. She froze, she couldn't breathe. She didn't move. She was nervous that moving would only trigger an attack. She knew when an animal was close to its end, but this time she was not the hunter, and it was her end she feared. She was certain that there was the deadliest kind of predator near her right now.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade



“Excitement strummed through her, for a brief moment she was consumed with the urge to run to him, to throw her arms around him, to bury herself in his strong embrace and shut out all the misery of the world like only he could make her do. For a brief moment, all of the joy and wonder she had ever experienced with him in the palace rapidly flooded back to her. She”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“But she had also been the happiest she'd ever been in her life. She'd been foolish, and naïve. And she had been in love.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“He hadn't forgotten about her defiance, her willfulness, but he didn't find it as charming as he once had. In fact, it was aggravating the hell out of him right now. She should be cowering, trembling with fear. She had to know that she would not survive this meeting, and yet she didn't show one ounce of trepidation.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“He had always enjoyed baiting her, watching her response, but this was different, this was not the girl that had stayed in his apartment at the palace. No, this girl was stronger, more callous; colder. This girl fairly vibrated with anger and hostility. She looked like a warrior, she was a warrior, he realized. She had always been a fighter, but now she was so much more than that.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade


“She was not the girl that had offered him her vein. She was the woman that was going to fire that arrow at any moment.”
― Erica Stevens, quote from Renegade

“Why are you so eager, anyway? We just met this girl—this Kat. What makes her so special that you’re already thinking of claiming her?” Lock ran a hand through his dark blond hair. “Because she is, as you said, gorgeous. But it isn’t just that—she’s special, Deep. Couldn’t you feel it when you spoke to her?” “I didn’t feel a damn thing and there’s no way you could have either,” Deep growled. “Our minds aren’t even aligned with hers—we haven’t shared a single dream.” “But we could.” Lock glared at his twin in frustration. Deep had always been a pessimist, but ever since Miranda he’d closed himself off almost entirely. It was like he thought if he didn’t allow himself to feel anything he could never be hurt again. “Kat has potential,” he told his twin. “If you don’t scare her off, that is.” Deep narrowed his eyes. “Define potential.” “She’s beautiful, single, and she can stand up to you. The way she slapped you when you scented her…” Lock shook his head, laughing softly. “If that’s not potential, I don’t know what is.” “She does have spirit, I’ll give you that.” Deep smiled grudgingly and Lock felt something loosen in his heart. He seldom saw a genuine smile on his twin’s face anymore. “But Brother,” Deep continued, “If you don’t want to scare her off, you shouldn’t have agreed to let her act as our focus. If there’s anything more frightening than having two males inside her body, it would have to be having two males inside her mind. She’ll have to have a will of iron to withstand our joining.” Lock nodded, feeling troubled. “You’re right. But you saw her, Deep—she wouldn’t be denied.” He went and dropped down onto the extra long couch which was standard for all Twin Kindred suites. “And she’s right—she may make the difference between finding Sylvan in time or losing him and the Earth female he was with forever.” “True.” Deep seated himself beside his twin and put an arm over the other man’s shoulders in a rare gesture of affection. “Take heart, Brother. If she survives the joining and still comes back for more, I’ll admit she has potential.” “Very”
― Evangeline Anderson, quote from Hunted


“Your state has been seen, and will be reported on. Only it is necessary that you do not yawn. Or, of course, speak. Discretion in all things in all things is needed." She was reminding them, and she hoped they realised it, that they were not circumcised. The circumlocution expected of a high-born Syrian princess was sometimes a trial to Sara Khatun.”
― Dorothy Dunnett, quote from The Spring of the Ram


“Twice in her life she had mistaken something else for it; it was like seeing somebody in the street who you think is a friend, you whistle and wave and run after him, and it is not only not the friend, but not even very like him. A few minutes later the real friend appears in view, and then you can't imagine how you ever mistook that other person for him. Linda was now looking upon the authentic face of love, and she knew it, but it frightened her. That it should come so casually, so much by a series of accidents, was frightening.”
― Nancy Mitford, quote from The Pursuit of Love & Love in a Cold Climate


“I always want to be somewhere else, in the place I have just fled from. In recent years this condition has, if anything, become worse: I go to and from Vienna at diminishing intervals, and from Nathal I will often go to some other big city, to Venice or Rome and back, or to Prague and back. The truth is that I am happy only when I am sitting in the car , between the place I have just left and the place I am driving to. I am happy only when I am traveling; when I arrive, no matter where, I am suddenly the unhappiest person imaginable. Basically I am one of those people who cannot bear to be anywhere and are happy only between places.”
― Thomas Bernhard, quote from Wittgenstein's Nephew


“Been having a fight with your blankets, Septimus?" A familiar voice echoed down the chimney. "Looks like you lost," the voice continued with a chuckle. "Not wise to take on a pair of blankets, lad. One, maybe, but two blankets always gang up on you. Vicious things, blankets. ”
― Angie Sage, quote from Physik

About BookQuoters

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.
