Kim Harrison

“...Everyone had to eat, but eating people wasn't polite.”

“..."We were the pair. One too afraid to feel anything lest she lose control of her ironclad hold on her emotions, and the other so hungry to feel anything that she´d risk her free will for one night of fun."...”

“I hate it when she tabs a line," Ivy whispered to Kisten in the corner. "You ever see anything freakier than that?" "You should see the face she makes when she—" "Shut up, Kist!" I exclaimed, my eyes flashing open to find him grinning at me.”

“He may be your son, but it was my old boyfriend who got him in trouble. He lied to you. He lied to me. And I'm going up there so I can kick Nick's ass from here to the ever-after.”

“It smelled like sex and dog in here. But mostly it smelled like sex.”

“I'd say she's get us both fired, but the I.S. doesn't let anyone go. Alive.”

“You're good with people, and all I know how to do is give good neck.”

“She's not your type.Since when do I have a type?”

“I can smell her all over you. You need some help taming her?Let me break her in for you.”

“Keep your vampire mitts off me. I'm not your friggin' blood toy.”

“Ms. Vampire Lady, you're all wet.”

“Why aren't you afraid of me?I've seen my death, and you're not it.”

“Double damn. I was a harlot. I was a freaking vampire hussy.”

“Knowledge is Power. Ignorance is Bliss. But curiosity—even if it had killed the cat—is king.”

“I‘m heir to madness. Vessel of perversion. Your nightmare should you cross me."Daryl‘s chin lifted, trembling. "Indeed. We might be sisters then, for I‘m the same.”

“Good God, the man is dumber than Tink's dildo...”

“I am not going to be the person who completes you,” he said, glancing at me and turning away. “You are one messed-up bitch.”

“Wait until the sun sets tonight, and if we are both here to see it, then my heart will break knowing you are safe and yet not to be mine. If you are gone, then my heart will break knowing that God has taken you home...”Gordian Pierce”

“-Rachel, tienes que dejar de comerte la cabeza o lo echarás todo a perder-dijo su voz de seda gris con la lluvia de fondo-. La cuestión no es si podemos hacerlo, sino si prodremos vivir con la idea de no haberlo intentado.”

“I meant I’m not afraid of love being difficult. If it was easy, then everyone would find it.”

“-Lo siento.Takata me miró a los ojos con el ceño fruncido.-Tú padre siempre me dijo que yo era un cabrón egoísta. Y tenía razón.-Tú das algo-dije suavemente-. Lo que pasa es que lo entregas a los extraños por miedo a que, si se los das a las personas que amas, lo puedan rechazar.”

“El vivir una mentira podía desgarrarte de una forma brutal y hacerte perder el control en el momento más inesperado.”

“-¿Quieres saber lo que significa tener hijos?-le dije mientras se sentaba-. Pues significa que a veces tienes que dejar que tu hija haga cosas que te parecen estúpidas, confiando en que, el hecho de que tú no seas capaz de hacerlas no quiere decir que ella tampoco. Que tal vez ella es lo suficientemente sensata como para salir del embrollo en que se ha metido.”

“-¿Tengo que hacer la pregunta adecuada?-pregunté.Él negó con la cabeza.-No existe ninguna pregunta. Lo único que cuenta es lo que ves con tus propios ojos.”

“A veces se necesita que te den un buen golpe en la cabeza para darte cuenta de que lo que siempre has deseado no era lo que más te convenía.”

“Her elf is going to do just that,” he said, the red glow of the ever-after sun turning his hair auburn, almost as red as mine. “I did not work this hard at getting her to accept who she is to let you take your spoiled brat of a little-boy temper tantrum out on her. She stays on my side of the lines.”

“Jenks: “I can’t even pix anyone. I sweat now instead of dusting, did you know that? I’ve got water coming off me instead of dust. What the hell can I do with sweat? Rub up against someone and make them puke in disgust? I’ve seen you sweat, and it’s not pretty. I don’t even want to think about sex, two sweaty bodies pressed against each other like that? Disgusting. Talk about birth control—it’s no wonder you only have a handful of kids.”

“Shouts of dismay rose as the red flesh splattered against the table. It was only a tomato, but one would think I was pulping a decaying heart by the noise the big, strong FIB officers were making.”

“Okay, you drive," she said. "I'll sit with m head hanging out of the window like a golden retriever.”

“Just let me sleep," she grumbled. "Let me sleep, and I'll sign a paper that you're a fucking angel.”

“Endings are not always bad. Most times they're just beginnings in disguise.”

“Rose to Rachel: You cry you get angry then you do something about it.”

“You just click your heels and think there's no place like being pwned.”

“I do so like all-encompassing words. Verb, adjective, noun. Yes, you are shitted.”

“by Rebecca 0 minutes ago" Tink's titties!" Jenks from any of Kim Harrison's books on The Hollows. (aka Cincinnati,OH) reply | edit | delete | flag *”

“I’ve got your back. Nothing alive will ever hurt you if I have breath in me. And nothing dead will hurt you if I don’t.” (Kisten)”

“Do you hurt uncle Kisten', he asked.(...) but Kisten beat me to it. “Only my heart, Audric,” he said. “Ms. Rachel is like the sun. See her sparkling there with the wind in her hair and fire in her eyes? You can’t catch the sun. You can only feel its touch on your face. And if you get too much of it, it burns you.”

“I'll always be here," he said softly. "You can never fill my need, never drive me away, no matter how much you give me. The good or the bad. I'll always be hungry for emotion, always and forever, and I can feel you hurting. I can turn it to joy. If you'll let me.”

“Maybe if I didn't say anything about what happened, we could get back to the way we were. Ignoring a problem was a perfectly acceptable way to deal with it, as long as both people agree never to bring it up again.”

“I was having coffee with my bodyguard. I didn't expect to be hunting bad guys until later. Leather before sundown is tacky.”

“-Tómate tu tiempo-dije con ligereza, cabreada y nerviosa a la vez.-Jenks y yo vamos a recurrir al plan B.-¿El plan B?-dijo Ivy-. ¿Cuál es el plan B?Jenks se puso rojo.-Coge el pez y sal pitando.”

“-No dejaré que me capture-le respondí-. Lucharé hasta que no pueda más. Si muero, te quedarás así para siempre.Su sonrisa se ensanchó.-No morirás-respondió con una mueca.-¿Por qué? ¿Porque tú estás conmigo?-Vaya, por fin lo has aprendido.”

“Una persona no puede hacer nada, Rache, pero dos pueden mover el mundo.”

“-¿Qué te parecería alquilar una lancha?-No esaría mal, pero tenemos el problema del ruido. [...]-Podríamos acercarnos a remo-sugirió, yo le respondí con una mirada.-Hmmm... Jenks, no es un lago, es el puto océano. ¿Has visto el tamaño del buque cisterna que pasaba por debajo del puente cuando hemos llegado a la ciudad? Su estela podría volcarnos. No pienso ir al estilo canoa a menos que me digas que te llamas Pocahontas.”

“Por las bragas de Campanita!”

“His attitude, though always bad, has changed since he helped me prep the Pandora charm for Morgan. He thinks I'm falling for her, as ridiculous as that sounds, and he might be tempted to take matters into his hands.”

“(Al to Pierce) “You will make sure that nasty demon Ku’Sox doesn’t kill her,” Al said conversational y. “Understand? You’re angry, but you still like her, yes? Want to have wild demon sex with her even if she ruined your attempt to kill me? Keep her alive, and you might get some. Eh? Eh? You’d like that, mmmm?”

“It is not always what we do, Sa'han, but who we love that makes us who we are. Quen”

“Five trolls in a dra-a-a-a-ag,' the four-inch man sang from my shoulder. 'Four purple condoms, three French ticklers, two horny vamps and a succubus in the snow.”

“I could sit and watch nature documentaries with Jenks and the kids the rest of the night if I wanted. And trust me, watching a dozen pixies scream as a crocodile chomped on a zebra was something not to be missed. They invariably cheered for the crocodile, not the zebra.”
