“Arden was always the person I loved and trusted the most.
"She would read to me. That's all we ever did. She'd read, and I'd listen, and it was magic. When we were together, it didn't matter what was happening with my parents, at school, or with anything else. I didn't matter. I didn't exist. Arden's words were so much better than the numbers in my head. They could take me places better than anything I'd ever dreamed of. I wanted to read all those books so bad, and I couldn't do it. I tried and tried and tried, and I couldn't do it. But it was okay, because Arden could, and she always took me with her.”

“We don’t poison. We shoot, stab, cut, slice and dice, eviscerate, disembowel, and decapitate. Sometimes shoot and blow up our enemies. We’ve been known to bury our dead in the swamp. But we don’t poison. Poison is wussy.”
― Faith Hunter, Dark Queen

“Niceness is all about what we do when other people are looking. Kindness, on the other hand, runs deep. Kindness is what happens when no one’s looking.”
― Sangu Mandanna, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

“I have no way to properly toast you, my Jane. The appropriate toast for a new Blood Master of a clan is from the jugular of a virgin boy or girl, with the words ‘Long undeath, prosperity, scions, blood, and cattle.’”
I looked at my beer. “Yeah. Beer is better. And how about ‘Live long and prosper.”
― Faith Hunter, Dark Queen
