Blood Bride Quotes

“Instead, in the shadows, I see the man who owns the orange I’m pressing to my chest. He’s watching the car slide past the gate, into the house of Signor Orolio, the Capo of Napoli. His eyes are fire and his posture is confidently predatory.”
― C.D. Reiss, Blood Bride

“This man, in particular, can fuck me and leave me for dead. His hand alone, holding the orange with strong, angled perfection, would fit perfectly inside all my most fragile parts. The early evening shadow under his jaw and high cheekbones seems darker against his pale skin. The streetlight catches the gold and green and blue in his eyes, as if God made him with Christmas lights inside his head.”
― C.D. Reiss, Blood Bride
