Enthralled Quotes

“If you stay here, you become lost. And no one can find you.

I like lost.”
― Ally Condie, Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions

“Vampires on TV give us an unhealthy body image stereotype too. Do you know how hard you have to work to get a body like those actors on True Blood or The Vampire Diaries? Try doing that when your blood vessels don’t work anymore and your muscles are slowly starting to waste away.”
― Jessica Verday, Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions

“He bent, lips coming to mine and —
'Derek? Chloe?' It was Kit, opening the back door. Derek let out a low growl.
'Never fails.' I turned to Kit. 'How is she?'
'We’re going to take her back to the house now. She’s unconscious again.'
'Then we’ll walk back,' Derek said. 'Give you room in the van to lay her down.'
His dad agreed and went back inside. As we walked toward the steps, I looked down at Derek’s hand, holding mine.
'No one’s around,' he said. 'And we can take the back way.'
'Good,' I said, and entwined my fingers with his.”

“He stares at the two girls. Two broken bodies that moments before had been whole.

He did this. He helped to break the world.”

“I stopped short and sighed as Derek stepped up behind me, arms sliding around my waist. I leaned back against him and relaxed.
“Thought I told you to come home,” he said, bending to my ear. There was no trace of anger in his voice now.
“Did you really expect me to listen?”
Now it was his turn to sigh. “Always worth a shot.” ”

“ “Where the hell are you?” he snapped when I answered.
“You’re back? Good. So how was—?”
“You’re not here.”
“Because I’m supposed to be waiting by the gate?”
“You know what I mean. Simon said you went to talk to Tori, but you’re not on the property, so I’m really hoping you’re with her.”
I glanced at Tori’s back, a half mile away. “Kind of.”
“She took off, didn’t she? And you went after her, knowing you aren’t supposed to leave the property unaccompanied.”
“Tori needs—”
“Tori can look after herself.”
“And I can’t?”
A growl. He knew better than to answer. Despite my lack of defensive superpowers, I’d gotten myself— and Tori— out of plenty of scrapes. Sometimes, knowing you don’t have the skills to fight can be a bonus. With Tori, overconfidence equals lack of caution and, yes, as Derek would say, common sense.
“I’m just going to talk to her,” I said. “I’ll bring her home—”
“No, you’ll come back. Right now. That’s an order.”
“Well, in that case . . . no.”
A louder growl.
“Seriously?” I said. “An order? Has that ever worked?”
He grumbled something I couldn’t hear and probably didn’t want to.
“I’m not kidding, Chloe. Stop running, turn around, and—”
“I’ll be back as soon as I catch her. ’Kay? Bye.” ”

“I used to think that once we started going out, Derek would change. When I admitted that to Tori, she nearly laughed herself into an aneurysm and gave me a lecture on the stupidity of expecting to change a guy. Maybe I didn’t have her dating experience, but I knew you didn’t go out with someone because you thought you’d change him. That wasn’t what I’d meant. I liked Derek the way he was. I’d just hoped getting closer would mean landing on the sharp side of his tongue less often.”

“(Chloe) "She considers me a friend.”
(Derek) “Does she? Huh. Never thought friendship started with one girl locking the other— bound and gagged— in a crawl space.” ”
― Kelley Armstrong, Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions

“(Tori) "In the real world, if we’re attacked by some Cabal goon, we’re going to use our fighting powers.”
(Simon) “But Chloe doesn’t have fighting powers.”
(Tori) “Sure she does. She has a poltergeist. Well, when Liz is around. And when she’s not, Chloe has the awesome power of zombies at her fingertips.” Tori waved at the woods behind our rented house. “Raise a dead bunny. It can nip my ankles while I’m throwing you down.” ”
