Quotes by Shayne Leighton (?)

“My dear…if you ever wish to flee a nightmare, all you must do is turn on the light, he whispered.
-Mr. Trinozka - Chapter 4
This is one of my favorite from chapter 4”
― Shayne Leighton, The Vampire's Reflection

“The occult town was vibrant, busy with fiddles playing themselves on street corners, and enchanted paper lanterns hanging mysteriously string-less in the dead of night. Lycanthropes chattered with each other in alleyways between the hotels and inns. Fairies stalked in the shadows, preying on unfortunate cats and mice. Hearty Elves with round bellies and rosy smiles worked late into the night, pushing their wooden carts filled with baked goods and meats.”
― Shayne Leighton, The Vampire's Daughter

“Charlotte sighed and, resting her chin on her knees, watched the fire again. Mr. Třínožka placed a hand on her shoulder, which made her feel even warmer. He smelled to Charlotte like one of those butterscotch candies you forgot about in your pocket for a year. The older, the sweeter.”
