“Axe saved my life….” That was the last thing Rhage said before he went nighty-night. —”
― J.R. Ward, quote from Blood Vow

“We ran into lots of old friends. Friends from elementary school, junior high school, high school. Everyone had matured in their own way, and even as we stood face to face with them they seemed like people from dreams, sudden glimpses through the fences of our tangled memories. We smiled and waved, exchanged a few words, and then walked on in our separate directions.”

Better to think a murderer was a vagrant than a neighbor, someone they probably sat next to in church, or had coffee with at the local diner.”
― Julie McElwain, quote from A Murder in Time

Maybe that’s what scared him. Or maybe it was the creaking of the ship around him…”
