Flirting with Vicki Pettersson

Yeah she doesn’t know it and I’m not actually flirting with ‘her’, but I slacked Was busy reading The Taken) and didn’t put together my post in time so I’m flirting with lines from her  books. Can’t help myself. When I list authors that inspire me with the stories they write and the interactions they have with readers and fellow authors alike, she totally makes the list for me. Readers might know her for her Zodiac Series, but she also has a new series called Celestial Blue which is proving to be just as awesome as Zodiac was. I ask that you please forgive my horrible photography, but look how awesome the book looks on my Kindle. Oh I think I’m getting off topic-back to the flirt, here are some favorites from the books I’ve read!

“Just because someone tried to make you into a victim didn’t mean that’s what you had to be.” ~ The Scent of Shadows

“ ‘Being single…is about hope. It’s about the future…the person you might meet at Starbucks or online or in the next aisle at the grocery store.’ ” ~The Taken 

“Next time,” I said wryly, swinging open the door, “just give me a knife and ask for a vein.”  
~ The Taste of Night
“ ‘Sex drives us, love or no love. Power or no power. Money or no money. It’s the most powerful drug in the world. Some pay for it. Some die for it.’ ” ~ The Taken


“But no life was without it’s strain & strife, not if it was fully lived. Opening up to experience, even the good ones like trust & love, was to open yourself up to the pain.” ~ The Neon Graveyard
