“Angel kisses,” he said, quietly delighted. “What?” “Angel kisses. That’s what they call freckles.”

LOVE

"This was one part of the kingdom he’d never been kicked out of—that was to say, had never been to in the first place, because the two normally went hand in hand."

"For all his snootiness, Calarian went weak at the knees for a bad boy—literally and figuratively. Not that Loth could begrudge him that."

who could

“Most elves are collectivist anarchists, but Benji’s just an antisocial arsehole.”

"Scott’s expression brightened. “I have Had A Thought,” he proclaimed,"

he was so proud

“No, I still hate you. But you know the saying. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” “That’s a stupid saying. It should be, keep your friends close and your enemies in an unmarked grave. Or, keep your friends close and your enemies far enough away that they’re not a problem. Or even, keep your friends close and your enemies too busy fighting your other enemies to worry about you.”

"Maybe, Loth pondered, just this once, he could try not being an absolute arse. He’d heard people managed it all the time."

He's trying!

"It was only fun teasing someone if you lulled them into a false sense of security first..."

"hypocrisy was only okay when he was the one practising it."

"The story sounded far-fetched even to his own ears, true, but with enough dramatic flair he was sure he could pull it off, and that was one thing Loth had never been accused of lacking. Morals, yes. A conscience? Definitely didn't have one of those. But flair? That, he had in spades."

"Another emotion that Loth wasn’t familiar with stirred in his gut. He was fairly sure this one was guilt. He wasn’t a fan."

"Not that he was old. He was just a little stiffer in the mornings than he had been as a teen, that was all. Why, he was barely out of his adolescence! Those weren’t crow’s feet appearing at the corners of his eyes. They were character lines, and Loth would stab anyone who said otherwise."

"Loth had learned very early in life that with a mouth like his, he’d needed to develop a very strong sense of self-preservation to go along with it."

“I suppose you’re wondering how I got into this mess,”
“I wasn’t. I don’t care.”
“I wasn’t talking to you,”
“Then who were you talking to?”
“I was soliloquising,”
“Well, I was hoping to, but somebody won’t shut their mouth.”
“Why don’t you shut your mouth?”
“How can I soliloquise if I do that? Now, hush.”
“I suppose you’re wondering how I got into this mess.”
“I am not wondering!”, “I am trying to sleep! Shut up!”

“Just stab me next time you want to punish me, all right?” he muttered into her hair.
Red’s throaty chuckle traveled up his spine, followed by her fluttering fingers. “Careful, I just might if you’re truly offering.”
“What kind of blood mage would I be if I didn’t find blood arousing?”

"I'm bored of doing murder now, I prefer a chat instead."

So reassuring

Oh I am pissed off

"I just want you to ask for help if you need it"

This is not the MMC but I loved it none the less

Ugh why do I have to stop reading?

I have a good feeling about this

oh how the tables have turned

"... feeling grateful that I chose a career in journalism rather than teaching"

I am not amused

"I like your face"

LMAO

“I’m an exotic car, I’m unreliable and high-maintenance.”

“I kind of love being up at this time.” He glances around, like he’s worried someone will overhear. “This is the one time of day…it’s just for me, you know? I want to be awake for it.”

I've really neglected this book but I had a BR and now I got a skip-the-line with a shorter loan time... I will come back for you! (hopefully)

“hysteria was a lifestyle”

"At this time in my life, I could not handle cult life. Maybe later, when I had more free time."

this is getting annoying

"It's a dead language for a reason. Someone should kill it again."

😂
