Sherrilyn Kenyon

“I know everything about everything and before I dry off completely, which is something I truly hate, you better go outside, collect Trates, and have both your asses out of here or I’m going to lose what little patience I have. You will play by the rules I’ve set up for sanctuary, or I’ll use your entrails for armbands. (Savitar)”

“Oh, baby, don’t ask me that question. I know exactly who and what I am…and more to the point, what I’m capable of. How dare you bring your prissy little ass into one of my clubs and pull this shit. You’re lucky you’re still breathing. (Savitar)”

“And they choose our mates. (Ravyn)So what do they do? Jump here on earth, tap you on the shoulder, and say, ‘Hey, bub, marry her’? (Susan)”

“Were-Hunters are different from humans. (Ravyn)You mean other than the fact that you live for several hundred years, can turn into animals, time travel, and wave your hand to make freaky stuff happen? (Susan)”

“I know it’s a bit nosy– (Susan)A reporter being nosy? Damn, there’s something you never see. (Ravyn)”

“Kitten, when did you get so tall? (Ravyn)I grew while you were in the bathroom. (Erika)”

“Fuck you, human. (Phoenix)Wow, boys and girls, they’re just so inviting, aren’t they. Martha Stewart would be proud. (Susan)”

“Yes, and for the record, he thinks you’re insane, too. (Otto)Oh, goodie. But I guess that’s only fair since I think he’s psychotic. (Susan)”

“You know when people say fine, it generally means ‘leave me the hell alone because I don’t want to talk about what’s really bothering me.' (Susan)”

“What galls you most, old man? The fact that I betrayed you, or the fact that I had the balls to set it right when you didn’t? (Ravyn)”

“I’m assuming those are Daimons. (Susan)No, they’re Avon ladies. (Ravyn)”

“These are used solely for Blood Rites. (Leo)Is that like special ed? (Susan)”

“Please nothing, she’s a vicious piranha. She looks all cute and cuddly, then she opens that mouth and lets loose so much venom she could double as a nest of scorpions. (Leo)”

“In essence, we’re their servants who help them and who guard them from the public. (Leo)Oh gee, golly, goodie, Mr. Leo! Can I have my eyes gouged out, too? (Susan)”

“Looks like I’m going to ruin your day, Big Boy. I choose to live my crappy life a little longer. (Susan)”

“What? Had a dry spell of killing people lately? (Susan)As a matter of fact, yes. If it doesn’t end soon, I might get out of practice. (Otto)”

“Uh-huh. You know with that sinister tone you should look into working for the IRS. I’m sure they’re desperate for people who can cow others with a single growl. (Susan)”

“Best hope for what, Catman? Death? Bankruptcy? You know, my life was going along…well, rather crappily, to be honest, but at least no one was trying to kill me and no one was dying around me. Since I met you, my life has taken the high road to Shitsville, with no off-ramp in sight. (Susan)”

“You don’t knock on the devil’s door, boy, unless you want him to answer. (Ravyn)”

“You know I can’t go out there. There’s daylight outside. (Ravyn)Well, that’s what happens when the big yellow ball comes up over the mountains. Amazing isn’t it? (Susan)”

“I mumble hocus-pocus and the next thing you know, I’m a cat. (Ravyn)I suppose it’s a step up. The last guy I had in my house could only turn into a beer-drinking pig. (Susan)”

“You know, if my life was a horse, I’d shoot it. (Susan)”

“Screw reality. It don’t feed my dog. It don’t make my Porsche payments. It don’t get me laid. Bullshit does that…and I like it that way. (Leo)”

“It’s good to see your friends happy, isn’t it? (Nick)How would I know? I have no friends. People basically suck and all friends will screw you over in the end. Take my word for it. (Savitar)Then why am I here? (Nick)Hell if I know. (Savitar)”

“Then what good is he? (Maggie)I ask myself every friggin’ day exactly what you did. What good am I? The answer is simple. There’s nothing good about me and I like it that way. Pride myself on it, in fact. (Savitar)”

“To make an omelet you must first break some eggs.”

“This has been one seriously fucked-up day, huh? (Wren)You might say that. This morning it was 2005 in New Orleans, I was staring at you wondering what it would be like to have the ability to change into a tiger. Now it’s the day before I enter the world in 1981 and I can turn into a tiger. Yeah, just your average day...if you’re in a Ted Raimi production. (Maggie)”

“A human’s love. I couldn’t wish anything better for him. Animals protect what they know. They protect what they are bound to, but humans…humans have a greater capacity for sacrifice for those who live in their hearts. (Aristotle) ”

“Not that I’ve ever feared a fight or backed down from one –(Wren)That’s the truth. I swear he’s half beta fish. He’d fight his own reflection to prove a point. (Maggie)”

“I still don’t believe it. It’s not in him.Yeah, and you are delusional. Babe, news flash, with the exception of you and the pirate, we’re all animals here. And we all have a killer’s instinct.”

“I’m not putting my faith or life in anyone’s hands. All that ever got me was screwed, and my ass is currently sore from it. (Wren)Nice imagery there, tiger. Graphic. Ever think of writing children’s books? (Fury)”

“Oh no, hon we were too late. Tiger-boy done pissed down the wrong honey tree and got all the bees, or in this case, bears, going wild. (Fury)”

“Shutup, lapdog, this isn’t your fight, either.Boy, you better counsel that tongue before you find yourself without it.”

“How many more are there like you? (Maggie)Enough to make the cast of a Cecil B. DeMille film look like a two-man opera. (Wren)”

“So what happened? (Maggie)Nothing major. It’s just a group of assholes out to kill me. (Wren)”

“Yeah, I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see your face when I changed over. (Wren)No, you don’t. I assure you, it wasn’t pretty. (Maggie)There’s never anything about you that isn’t pretty, Maggie. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. (Wren)”

“How do you feel? (Maggie)Like I got hit by a bus that decided to back up a few times and make sure it finished the job. I think it must have ground its tires on my ribs during the last run. You know, just in case I might actually want to breathe again in my lifetime. (Wren)”

“I’m partial to the truth, Lo. Good, bad or indifferent. (Vane)”

“If you knew this, why did you wait to bring it before the Omegrion? (Savitar)Because I was afraid to come forward...(Zack)And now you're all better? (Savitar)”

“What happened to him? (Lioness)He pissed me off. (Savitar)Why hasn’t one of the other jaguars taken his place? (Lioness) He pissed me off...big time. (Savitar)”

“Yeah. And Savitar predates him. He has presided over this council since the very beginning, and notice, Savitar looks about thirty. We don’t know what he is, but he ain’t one of us and he ain’t human. And trust me, you don’t want to mess with him. (Paris)Thank you for that highly unamusing summation. Next time I have insomnia, I know who to call. In the meantime, little lioness who would probably like to live another year, don’t interrupt me again. I don’t like it and I tend to kill the things I don’t like. (Savitar)”

“Let me guess. The big one is due in on the north shore? (Dante)Yes. So let’s make this quick. I have a board, a wave, and a babe with my name on them and I would like to take advantage of all three. (Savitar)”

“What happened to your hair, tiger? (Fang)It fell off. (Wren)”

“My father used to say that it’s not enough to just beat an attacker off. You have to hurt them enough that they’ll know not to tangle with you anymore. Or preferably kill them. (Wren)”

“What happened to cause the jail fight? (Maggie)They thought it would be fun to knock around the ‘kid’ and show off their manhood. I thought it would be fun to knock a couple of them unconscious. (Wren)”

“What would you like? (Maggie)I don’t care. I’ll eat anything not Tylenol or chocolate. (Wren)”

“I’ll wait out here until the two of you are finished. Just call out if you need anything. Like a priest, cop, or lion tamer. (Aimee)”

“What are you? Insane? I’m not interested in Ms. Preppy Uptight Sloan Ranger. Jeez. I’d get khaki between my teeth. Can you imagine? I’ve never been in khaki and I never want to see a woman out it. It scares me. (Dev)”

“Good God, Dev. Have you completely lost your mind? Don’t tease the psychotic tiger. He’s getting all angry and frothing at the mouth. Someone’s going to think he’s rabid. (Serre)Yeah, but teasing him is like throwing meat at Kyle. It’s highly entertaining. (Dev)”

“Man, Wren. I’m impressed. No woman ever sent flowers to thank me. (Serre)Don’t be that impressed. I’m thinking she didn’t send flowers to thank him. One flower says thank you. This many says she thought he was dead. Or that she killed him. Hmm...I’m thinking, put a tiger in her tank and that didn’t quit rev her up. What she needs is to go hunting for bear. (Dev)”
