"Damn, Claire. Warn a guy before you do a face-plant on the floor next time. I could have looked all heroic and caught you or something -Shane"
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"Perv."
He pointed to himself. "Male and eighteen. What's your point?"
— Rachel Caine (Midnight Alley)

"Want to play baseball?’” she asked. Shane’s eyes opened, and he stopped stroking her hair. “What?’” “First base,’” she said. “You’re already there.’” “I’m not running the bases.’” “Well, you could at least steal second.’” “Jeez, Claire. I used to distract myself with sports stats at times like these, but now you’ve gone and ruined it.’”"

"I'm gonna kill him," Eve said, or at least that was what it sounded like filtered through the pillow.
"Stake him right in the heart, shove garlic up his ass, and-and-"

"And what?" (Michael)

"When did you get home?" Claire demanded.

"Apparently just in time to hear my funeral plans. I especially like the garlic up the ass. It's...different.""
— Rachel Caine (Feast of Fools)

"Crap, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I'm thinking we have about fifteen vampires and no blood," Claire said. "Is that it?"

"No, I was thinking we're out of chips. Of course that's what I was thinking."
— Rachel Caine (Feast of Fools)

"But that quickly faded, and he frowned. "You're bleeding," he said. "What happened?"
Claire sighed and held up her wrist to show him the bandage. "Man, you would be so embarrassed if I said it was something else." Michael looked blank. "I'm a girl, Michael, it could have been all natural, you know. Tampons?""
— Rachel Caine (Midnight Alley)

""Scoot over, man. I don't like you that much."
"Dick. That's not what you said last night."
"Bite me."
"
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"'Run first,' Shane said. 'Mourn later.'
It was the perfect motto for Morganville."
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

""And if you dont come back from the dorm, I'm the one who has to explain to Micheal how I let you go off and get yourself killed like a Dumbass. First rule in horror movies, Clair-Never split up!""
— Rachel Caine

""You're still here. No beer. I'm not corrupting a minor."
"But YOU'RE a minor," she pointed out. "At least for beer."
"Yeah, and by the way, how much does it suck that I'm an adult if I kill somebody, and I'm not if I want a beer?" "
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"Claire. Wake up.” She blinked and realized that her head was on Shane’s shoulder, and Michael was nowhere to be seen. Her first thought was, Oh my God, am I drooling? Her second was that she hadn’t realized she was so close to him, snuggled in. Her third was that although Michael’s part of the couch was empty, Shane hadn’t moved away. And he was watching her with warm, friendly eyes. Oh. Oh, wow, that was nice."
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"Boys. I'd turn gay if they weren't so sexy. "
— Rachel Caine (The Dead Girls' Dance)

"That's brain tissue. How can you-?" Claire shut her mouth, fast. "Never mind. I don't think I wanna know."

"Truly, I think that's best. Please take it." He showed his teeth briefly in a very unsettling grin. "I'm giving you a piece of my mind."

"I so wish you hadn't said that."
— Rachel Caine (Feast of Fools)

"Okay, this was kissing. Serious kissing. Not just a kiss before moving out, not a good-bye, this was Hello, sexy, and wow, she’d never even suspected that it could feel this way.
"
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"Shane looked…pale. Pale and shaken and—how predictable was this?—pissed."
— Rachel Caine

"Jealous?"

"Maybe."

"No reason. I like my ladies with a pulse."
— Rachel Caine (Feast of Fools)

"Not nearly enough. Not recently, anyway.” And she was sad about that.
“I know,” he said, and kissed the back of her hand. “We’ll fix it. Get some sleep.”
“Night,” she said, and watched him walk toward the door. “Hey. How’d you get in?”
He wiggled his fingers at her in a spooky oogie-boogie pantomime. “I’m a vampire. I have secret powers ,” he said with a full-on fake Transylvanian accent, which he dropped to say, “Actually, your mom let me in.”
“Seriously? My mom? Let you in my room? In the middle of the night?”
He shrugged. “Moms like me.”
He gave her a full-on Hollywood grin, and slipped out the door.

""Who are you calling?" (claire)
"Pizza hut" (shane)
"Loser" (claire)"
— Rachel Caine (Feast of Fools)

"'What’s your name?' she asked, and surprised herself. But for some reason, she wanted to know.
Dean’s brother—he hadn’t been just some nameless Bad Guy Number Four. This vampire wasn’t,either. He had a name, a history, maybe even people who cared what happened to him.
'My name is none of your business,' he said, and continued to stare out the window, even though there was nothing but blurry brick out there.
'Can I call you None for short?'"
— Rachel Caine (Carpe Corpus)

"You. O Positive. How many exits? --Sam

What?...Oh shit, did you just call me by my bloodtype? --Ian"
— Rachel Caine (The Dead Girls' Dance)

""You're kidding. I thought all geniuses read Latin. Isn't that the international language for smart people?"-Shane (Glass Houses)"
— Rachel Caine

"That's kind of a leap, but the Russian judge gave you a nine point five for style, so okay."
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"So we do nothing? --Claire
We do the best nothing you've ever seen. --Michael"
— Rachel Caine (The Dead Girls' Dance)

"Maybe I should, I don't know leave? Because this is starting to sound like one of those reality shows I don't want to be in. Maybe you guys want to take turns in the confessional booth."
— Rachel Caine (Feast of Fools)

""Don't we look suspicious, the three of us just sitting here in the car?" Borden asked.
"We'd look a lot more suspicious if we were all three making out in the car," Jazz said. "What?" she added, when Borden turned and gave her a wide-eyed look.
"You have no idea what kind of happy place you just took me to."
"Shut up.""
— Rachel Caine

"life is a work in progress."
— Rachel Caine

"You're just full of awesome; did you know that?

--Claire"
— Rachel Caine (Carpe Corpus)

"Anybody else think that was weird?” Shane asked as they got into the car. Eve sent him an exasperated glance; the three of them were, of course, in the backseat. Amelie had the front, with Michael.

“Ya think? In general, or in particular?”

“Weird that we got through the entire thing, and I didn’t have to hit anybody.”

There was a moment of silence. Michael said, as he started the car, “You’re right, Shane. That is strange."
— Rachel Caine (Fade Out)

"Michael rose to his feet and padded down the last few steps silently, came up behind Kim, and leaned over her to say, “I vant to drink your blood” in a heavy, fake-Dracula accent. She shrieked, flailed, and a zombie ate her brains on-screen.

“You sabotaged me!” Kim yelled, dropped the controller, and smacked him hard on the chest. “I can’t believe you just totally sabotaged me!”

“Can’t let him lose,” Michael said, as Shane hit the high score and the victory music sounded. “Gotta live with the dude.”

They high-fived.

“You’re seriously going to take that as a win,” Kim said. “When he totally cheated for you.”

“Yes,” Shane said. “I seriously am.”"
— Rachel Caine (Fade Out)

"Now play nicely, make-believe dead girl"
— Rachel Caine (Carpe Corpus)

"The door banged open and Eve rushed out, flushed and mussed and still buttoning her shirt. "It's not what you think." She said. "It was just - oh OK, whatever, it was exactly what you think. Now WHAT?""
— Rachel Caine (Lord of Misrule)

"“I heard this girl worked for Bishop,” said one of the guys, who had a tire iron resting on his shoulder. “Carrying around his death warrants. Like one of those Nazi collaborators.”

“You heard wrong,” Shane said. “She’s my girl. Now back off.”

“Let’s hear from her,” said the leader of the pack, and locked stares with Claire. “So? You working for the vamps?”

Shane sent her a quick, warning glance.

Claire took in a deep breath and said, “Absolutely.”

“Ah hell,” Shane breathed. “Okay, then. Run.”"
— Rachel Caine (Fade Out)

"That's kind of a leap, but the Russian judge gave you a nine point five for style, so okay. --Eve"
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"I think we can all agree. SHINEY."
— Rachel Caine

"You want to go play with your new friends back there? The really pale ones with the taste for plasma? --Shane"
— Rachel Caine (Lord of Misrule)

""Now," said Brandons low, cold voice. "Lets not be rude eve.""
— Rachel Caine (Glass Houses)

"No. --Claire

Bullshit! Yes, a world of yes. --Eve"
— Rachel Caine (The Dead Girls' Dance)

"Yeah, I know. Terror Aerobics. Just wait until they get it at the gym. It'll be bigge than pilates. --Eve"
— Rachel Caine (Lord of Misrule)

"There is two feet of space between us, and about a mile of separation."
— Rachel Caine

""This near enough? Whatcha gonna do, doll girl? Cry all over me?"
Claire hid her eyes as the biker reached out for Eve with one tattooed hand.
"No," Eve said breathlessly. "I'm going to let my boyfriend beat the crap out of you."
There was a dull thunk of wood meeting flesh, and a howl. Then another, much harder thunk, and a crash as a body hit the floor.
The biker was down. Claire stared at him in disbelief, then looked past him, to the figure standing there with the field hockey stick in both hands.
Michael Glass."
