Infernium (Nightshade, #2)

by Keri Lake

“There is a belief that reality is what we choose to see, even if it doesn’t seem real to the rest of the world. Even if all of this is a lie, it doesn’t matter. If ever your eyes should deceive you, though, and you’re scared of not knowing what is real and what isn’t, speak the words and I will bring you back.”

“The evil in this world does not always present itself as a monster, but as a thing you find most beautiful.

“Human females dream of demon assassins?” “You’d be surprised.”

Every time I closed my eyes, my mind wandered to Jericho galloping through the dark woods on his black horse, his cape flying behind him, as wolves and demons chased after him. Like something out of a dark fairytale, except I didn’t want to be the damsel in distress, locked in the tower, waiting for his return. I wanted to be on my own horse alongside him, fighting them off like some badass fae queen defending her kingdom.
