End of Days (Penryn & the End of Days, #3)

by Susan Ee

“Dressed like this? In front of lawless men?” His eyes drift up to my midriff. “If you’re worried about pervs breaking into the house, it’s not going to make a difference whether I’m in this outfit or in baggy jeans and a sweatshirt. Either they’re decent human beings or they’re not. Their actions are on them.”

“Since my enemies have determined that you’re my Daughter of Man.”

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that trying to make someone stay with you when he doesn’t want to is a recipe for heartbreak.

“Rebound’s a bitch.”

“You’d be surprised. Just because I don’t have a problem on the outside visible for the world to see doesn’t mean I’m not messed up on the inside. That can be just as hard to deal with.”

Being human isn’t about whether you fit in or look like the rest of us. It’s about who you are and what you’re willing to do or not do.”

“If there’s one thing that us humans are good at, it’s gossip. Word spreads—and everybody’s heard of you.”

I never realized how much of life’s good advice came from ads.

It twists my insides to have them be part of the fight, but on the other hand, I’ve learned that when you separate from people you love, there’s no guarantee you’ll ever see them again.

Stupid and fun. Together. Laughing. Being part of the human race. Knowing about the horrors that have happened and will happen but choosing to live anyway. Maybe there’s an art to being human.

Power is best held by the ones who don’t want it.”
