"You've won the evolutionary lottery: You're a vampire. Let's go to Disneyland!"
— J.R. Ward (Dark Lover)

"'I was ninety percent sure'
'I see' Clary said. There must have been something in her voice because he turned to look at her. Her hand crossed across his face, a slap that rocked him back on his heels. He put his hands on his cheek, more in surprise than pain.
'What the hell was that for?'
'The other ten percent'"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"It's hard to be a bright light in a dim world."
— Gary Starta

""By the way, I haven't heard an 'I'm sorry' from you yet." My sense of grievance had overwhelmed my sense of self-preservation.
"I am sorry that the maenad picked on you."
I glared at him. "Not enough," I said. I was trying hard to hang on to this conversation.
"Angelic Sookie, vision of love and beauty, I am prostrate that the wicked evil maenad violated your smooth and voluptuous body, in an attempt to deliver a message to me."
"That's more like it.""
— Charlaine Harris (Living Dead in Dallas)

""Did we have sex?" he asked directly.
For about two minutes, this might actually be fun. "Eric," I said, "we had sex in every position I could imagine, and some I couldn’t. We had sex in every room in my house, and we had sex outdoors. You told me it was the best you’d ever had." (At the time he couldn’t recall all the sex he’d ever had. But he’d paid me a compliment.) "Too bad you can’t remember it," I concluded with a modest smile.
Eric looked like I’d hit him in the forehead with a mallet. For all of thirty seconds his reaction was completely gratifying."
— Charlaine Harris (Dead as a Doornail)

""Ha," I said. "Oh, ha-ha. Yeah, ’cause they love me. You see how many vampires are up here? Zero, right?"
"One," said Eric, stepping out of the stairwell."
— Charlaine Harris (All Together Dead)

""Do you think I'll ever get better at this?" I wondered mostly to myself. "That my heart might someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me??"
— Stephenie Meyer

"You so need to lighten up about that potato-launcher incident," Butch said.
Phury rolled his eyes and eased back in the banquette. "You broke my window."
"Of course we did. V and I were aiming for it."
"Twice."
"Thus proving that he and I are outstanding marksmen."
— J.R. Ward (Lover Unbound)

"'Run first,' Shane said. 'Mourn later.'
It was the perfect motto for Morganville."

""Zebrowski says that if you killed someone else just hide the body, he's not starting over on the paperwork"."
— Laurell K. Hamilton (Incubus Dreams)

"“You know,” he said, “this is why I love you so much.”
Her tone was heartbreakingly warm. “What do you mean?”
“You don’t ask me to go inside because it’s cold. You just want to make it easier for me to be where I want to stand.”"
— J.R. Ward (Lover Avenged)

"Yeah, tell me I’m a bottle of single malt scotch, she thought. That’s the way to my heart."
— L.J. Smith (Nightfall)

"'Come on, it’s an American tradition. Apple soup? Mom’s homemade chicken pie?'
She chuckled in spite of herself, then winced. 'It’s apple pie and Mom’s homemade chicken soup. But you didn’t do badly, for a start.'"
— L.J. Smith (Nightfall)

"(...) I knew from the moment I heard you, the moment I saw the gun and realized that this lovely, petit woman was the executioner, that you would never die waiting for me to save you - that you would save yourself.
-Jean-Claude"
— Laurell K. Hamilton (Narcissus in Chains)

""Let go," he advised me, and I loosened my grip on his hands. "No, not of me," he said, smiling. "You can hold on to me as long as you want. Let go of the pain, Sookie. Let go. You need to drift away."
It was the first time I had relinquished my will to someone else. As I looked at him, it became easy, and I retreated from the suffering and uncertainty of this strange place."
— Charlaine Harris (Club Dead)

"'WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS? THE MAN'S A VAMPIRE!'
"Yeah, but he's a really, REALLY sexy one.'"
— Sherrilyn Kenyon (Night Pleasures)

"And just then Damon stepped out of the coat closet, and at the same time Aunt Maggie tripped him neatly and said, “Bathroom door beside you,” and picked up a vase and hit the rising Damon over the head with it. Hard."
— L.J. Smith (Nightfall)

"There aren't any syringes." Red Sox came over and held a sterile pack out. When she tried to take it form him, he kept a grip on the thing. "I know you'll use this wisely."
"Wisely?" She snapped the syringe out of his hand. "No, I'm going to poke him in the eye with it. Because that's what they trained me to do in medical school."
— J.R. Ward (Lover Unbound)

"Whoa. Fangs. She had fangs.

She leaned in, prodded them a little. Eating with those puppies was going to take some getting used to, she thought.

On impulse, she brought up her hands, turned her fingers into claws. Hissed.

Cool"
— J.R. Ward (Dark Lover)

"After a moment, Wrath turned to John. "This is Lassiter, the fallen angel. One of the last times he was here on earth, there was a plague in central Europe-"
"Okay, that was so not my fault-"
"-which wiped out two-thirds of the human population."
"I'd like to remind you that you don't like humans."
"They smell bad when they're dead."
"All you mortal types do.""
— J.R. Ward (Lover Enshrined)

"Bonnie, believe in me. I’ll save you.

I remember how to fly."

'Yes?'
'What do you believe in?'
'I believe in - finding out!'"
— Ellen Schreiber (Vampire Kisses)

"V shook his head. “Remember what you saw in that clearing, cop? How’d you like that anywhere near a female you loved?”

Butch put down the Bud without drinking from it. His eyes traveled over Rhage’s body.

“We’re going to need a shitload of steel,” the human muttered."
— J.R. Ward (Lover Eternal)

""Why is everything always my decision?" I asked.
"Because you will not tolerate anything else."
Oh, I remembered now. "Great", I whispered.
- Anita to Jean-Claude"
— Laurell K. Hamilton (Cerulean Sins)

"'C’est moi, c’est moi,’tis I,' I told him. It seemed appropriately melodramatic, though I didn’t know if he’d catch the reference. I shouldn’t have worried.
Unexpectedly, he laughed. “Trust you to quote Lancelot rather than Guinevere.” "
— Patricia Briggs (Moon Called)

"“Tell you what, you let me go, and I’ll ask you plenty of questions about your race. Until then, I’m slightly distracted with how this little vacation on the good ship Holy Sh*t is going to pan out for me.”

"Life is a book waiting to happen."
— Sloan McBride

"'How come when mortals want things, their only option is to make a deal with Hell and sell their soul? Why can’t they make deals with God in exchange for good behavior?'
It was another of those rare moments when I’d surprised Carter. I waited for the glib answer I’d mentioned to Seth, something along the lines of goodness being its own reward. The angel considered for several seconds.
'Humans make those deals all the time,' he said finally. 'They just don’t make them with God.'
'Then who are they making them with?' I exclaimed.
'Themselves.'"
— Richelle Mead (Succubus Heat)

""Drink from the fountain of love where every drop is eternal passion." "
— Mahogany SilverRain (EBONY ENCOUNTERS: A Trilogy of Erotic Tales)

"As the Brotherhood got down to business, he found himself putting his hand on the dog’s big head and stroking the soft fur…playing with an ear…dipping down and finding the long waves that flowed from the animal’s broad, strong chest.
Not that any of that meant he was keeping the the animal, of course.
It just felt nice, was all."
— J.R. Ward (Lover Avenged)

"I keep warning and warning, and nobody seems willing to listen. One of these days someone is going to wake up to the fact that I'm serious when I say never to attack my sister without looking over your shoulder for me. (Rhoan)"
— Keri Arthur (Dangerous Games)

"It hurt, remembering. Hurt because there was so much I'd done, so much I'd yet to do. In so many different ways, I now realized, not remembering had been a blessing. A brief respite in the twisted bloody mess that my life had become.
But at least I knew who I was."
— Keri Arthur (Destiny Kills)

— Justin Evans (A Good and Happy Child: A Novel)

"But just as natural disaster brought out the best in some people, it brought out the worst in others."

"Well, to my mind, it makes a difference. Using outside semen suggests scientific curiosity, using your own just sounds like pure male ego. By the way, Abra, I do hope you’re being careful with birth control."
