“Yummy,” Chloe murmured to me. Quinn flashed us a grin. I fought a blush.“Vampire hearing, remember?” I murmured back.She shrugged, grinning back.""Chapter 10”

“Where is Nicholas?” Kieran asked.“He’s locked in a closet,” Lucy said with grim satisfaction. After a moment of stunned silence, Quinn snorted out a laugh.“You locked your boyfriend in a closet?” I asked.“Cool,” Chloe approved. The rhinestones on her earrings caught the blue lantern light.Lucy shrugged. “Serves him right. He locked me in there last week.""Chapter 11”

“What's the matter with you?" I hissed at her as we followed Kieran and Solange inside.'She's royalty!'"And a vampire, remember?"'Oh yeah,' Chloe paused. 'Nope, princess trumps vampire.”
