Quotes by Courtney Gould  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She’s made of every bad thing that has happened to her, just like she’s made of every good thing. She’s made of every good thing before the woods and every good thing she found in its unyielding grip.”
Courtney Gould, What the Woods Took

“Outside, there was a swarm of people who hated them. Under his feet, there was a darkness that crept into Brandon’s bones. But for a moment, he wasn’t alone. The shadows were quiet.
Now that he knew what it felt like to be loved, he could never go back.”
Courtney Gould, The Dead and the Dark

“The Dark is not a monster. It simply is.”
Courtney Gould, The Dead and the Dark

Bobbi Jo Courtney, Your old Auntie wants you to know.
Congratulations on your new book The Dead and the Dark ratings!
I can't wait till I can afford to buy it. I read a lot of books, but they are mostly hand me downs or Goodwill and Dollar Tree. A lack of cash will not keep me from reading.
You are setting a pace to becoming another Stephany King.
