The Bite That Binds (Deep In Your Veins, #2)

He was also the only person who had a snake draped over his shoulders. I mean, come on, what was that about?

Oh dear lord not snakes I HATE snakes!

What cheesed me off most was that she actually reached out to cup Jared’s cheek. He didn’t back away. He did something even better. He growled so menacingly that everyone within hearing range froze.

You're right Sam... that is WAY better than him backing away!

What Magda hadn’t known – I doubted that any of us had been expecting it – was that her hair was suddenly going to catch fire.

Hahahaha she's hilarious I love her

It didn’t matter that I knew those anxieties were needless − when you were told things every single day of your childhood, those things had a way of embedding themselves inside you; lurking there, and appearing to torment you at your low moments. Knowing that none of it was true didn’t make it completely go away.

God, I relate to this on a soul deep level.

His gaze was intelligent, observant, and curious. I almost shit my pants in surprise when his colour abruptly changed to the same brilliant blue that Toto had earlier been. “So that means he likes me, right?” I asked Wes without moving my gaze from Dexter. “Yes, it does.”

Okay... I hate snakes but I think Dexter is an exception to this rule.

“You may think that you are clever, Sam. But all I see is an insecure, green-eyed, bitter, hot-headed individual.” Madga’s self-satisfied grin faded when Sam simply shrugged. I had to admit, I was surprised by her composure too. “At least I don’t have a chopstick sticking out of my eye.” And then she lunged across the table, chopstick in hand.

Hahahaha, Sam is brutal and hilarious and I love it

“I wouldn’t have believed so,” said Lena, “but the brothers are very powerful. Being as strong as she was before, Sam was the perfect subject for them to use. Her strength and power got her through the changes, and now she has evolved into a blend of all three vampire breeds.”

Ooooooooh shit. Okay. Makes sense.

The ex-Handler stepped forward, grinning mischievously. If I hadn’t been frozen in place, I’d have snarled at him. “How much do you want gone?” “Everything up until the day that she was recruited,” the tallest brother told him. “I do not want her to remember anything after that day.”

Oh STOP! I hate this trope! Don't ruin it for me!

“I have a fiancé.” It was only then that I looked up, only then that I saw the horror and dread on the faces of the five vampires around me. “I have a fiancé, and his name is Jared.” Suddenly, with the force of a slap, everything came flooding back to me. Oh the little bastards!

Soooooo glad she remembered so quickly that could've ruined the entire thing for me! Phew!
