Why are you at Tabitha's? (Acheron)”

Eight. (Tabitha)
Eight? (Valerius)
What? (Tabitha)

“Weddings have always been a fascinating thing to me. A time when people look in each others eyes and promise each other they will never allow anyone or anything to divide them. Out of two families, they come together to form a separate branch that links back to their roots. It's a time when two families are joined together because of the hearts of two people. A time when ill will and bad feelings should be put to rest along with the past. Weddings signify a new beginning. After all, no human alive has ever been able to choose his family...God knows, I would never have chosen mine. But as the Roman playwright Terence once wrote, 'From many a bad beginning great friendships have formed.' (Zarek)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“I love you, I love you, I love you! And if you ever die on me again, I'll kill you so dead! (Tabitha) ”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“But as the Roman playwright Terence once wrote, From many a bad beginning great friendships have formed”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“Nah. I got it. Just try not to stake Jean-Luc again if you meet up with him. (Acheron)
I can’t help it. All you fanged people look alike in the dark. (Tabitha)
Yeah. I know what you mean. All you soul-full people look alike to us, too. (Acheron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“It's noon, Valerius. We both should be asleep?" Acheron paused. "Where are you anyways?"
"I don't know," Valerius said. "I hear some godawful kind of music from outside, horns blaring, and I'm in a house with a mohawk cuckoo bird, a transvestite, and a knife-wielding lunatic."
"Why are you at Tabitha's?" Acheron asked.
"Excuse me?"
"Relax," Acheron said with a yawn. "You're in good hands. Tabby won't hurt you."
"She stabbed me!"
"Damn," Ash said. "I told her not to stab any more Hunters. I hate it when she does that.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

It's okay. We all have scars. I'm just lucky most of mine are on the outside. (Tabitha)”

Yeah, but emotions don't have brains. (Acheron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“What are you doing here? (Artemis)
I wanted to thank you for what you did tonight, but as I considered that, it dawned on me that you have never once in eleven thousand years done anything for me for free. The sheer fear factor of that realization alone has made me come seeking you. So what gives? (Acheron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“Keep your shirt on," she said with a laugh at her bad joke. "Your clothes are at the laundry. They'll
deliver them as soon as they're ready."
"And in the meantime?"
"Looks like you're naked."
His jaw worked as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "I beg your pardon?"
"Beg all you want, you're still going to be naked." Tabitha paused at the wicked image in her mind.
"Come to think of it, a gorgeous, begging, naked man… that's the stuff of fantasies. Begging won't get
you your clothes, but it could get you something else." She wiggled her eyebrows at him.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“How nice of Acheron to send us a playmate. (Daimon)
Play is for children and dogs. Now that you have identified which category you fall into, I'll show you what Romans do to rabid dogs. (Valerius)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“I'm not human, Ms. Deveraux. In case you haven't noticed, I'm one of the damned. (Valerius)
Baby, open your eyes and look around. We're all damned in one way or another. But damned is a far cry from dead. And you live like you're dead. (Tabitha)
I'm that, too. (Valerius)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“Why are you worried about him? Des is a punk. (Urian)
Desiderius is dead. Kyrian killed him. (Tabitha)
Yeah, and I'm the Easter Bunny- see my fluffy tail? You don't just kill a Spathi, little girl. All you do is take him out of commission for a while. (Urian)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

“I wish I had left him as he was. I wish you had told me this would happen. (Amanda)
Told you what, Amanda? That the two of you would spend the rest of your lives loving each other? Raising your kis? Neither one of you have any idea how miraculous your life is. How many people would gladly sell their souls for what you have. Forget Artemis and immortality. What you have is infinitely more previous and rare. (Acheron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Seize the Night

― Dan Wells, quote from Fragments

“I saw the folded note peeking up from behind the cover of the book in which I'd hidden it.
I brushed my fingertips across the lineny surface, my skin sparking with electricity, my fingers itching to pull it free.
I shoudn't, I told myself, even as I held my breath and watched myself withdrawing it from the book. I tried to tamp down the feeling of anticipation coursing through me at the same time I argued that it was a mistake to look at it again.
It didn't deserve anymore of my time. He didn't deserve the space he already occupied in my mind.
I glanced around to see if anyone had noticed me there, tucked beneath my desk, reading a note that I'd already memorized.
No one paid me any attention.
I held the letter, vividly picturing the six words written inside the folds. Six words that I already knew by heart. Six words that meant more to me than they should.
I unfolded the top third of the paper, then the bottom, purposely keeping my eyes unfocused for just a moment.
My heart stopped.
And then my eyesight cleared.

I pledge to keep you safe.”
― Kimberly Derting, quote from The Pledge
