“A gold chain cut across her forehead with a diamond the size of my thumb in it. More diamonds burned like white fire at her throat. She was absolutely naked except for a sprinkling of gold body glitter, done thick enough on her nipples to make them seem metallic. A diamond anklet glittered on her right ankle. Three gold chains rode low on her hips, and that was it. And I’d complained about my outfit.”

“Richard stood, running his fingers through his thick hair, getting it out of his face, and showing his chest off to good advantage. For the first time, I wondered if he’d done it on purpose. I searched his face for that edge of teasing that Jean-Claude had, that knowledge that even that simple movement touched me. There was nothing. Richard’s face was guileless, handsome, empty of ulterior motives. I exchanged glances with Jean-Claude. He shrugged. “If you do not understand him, do not look to me. I am not in love with him.” Richard looked puzzled. “Did I miss something?”

“I didn’t say anything because I didn’t have anything good to say. Just lately I had noticed that I could kill people and not blink. No attack of conscience, no nightmares, nothing. It was like some part of me had turned off. It didn’t bother me that I was able to kill so easily. It did bother me that it didn’t bother me. But it had its uses, like tonight. I think every last furry one of them had believed I’d do it. Sometimes, it was good to be scary.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, The Killing Dance

“I started to say something, but Richard said, “Come on, Anita. We have to go now.” He was right. I could kill a lot of them, but not all. I hadn’t brought a spare clip for the machine gun. I hadn’t thought I’d need it. Silly me. We”

“In some ways you are as sentimental as Richard,’ she said. 'But you could kill us, all of us, even Stephen’s brother, and feel nothing.’
I met her honey brown eyes and said, 'I’d feel something.’
'What?’ she asked.
'Safer,’ I said.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, The Killing Dance

“That part of us that we trap in our dreams and deny in daylight hours.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, The Killing Dance

“Wait a minute," Richard said. "You're betting that the two of you are better than a professional assassin. That you'll get to him before he gets to Anita."
We both nodded.
"What if you're not better?"
Edward looked at him like he'd said the sun wouldn't rise tomorrow.
"Edward will be better," I said.
"You'd bet your life on that?" Richard asked.
"I am betting my life on that," I said.”

“You killed him, Anita. You killed him without thinking about it. Even now, there’s no regret in you, no doubt.” He was right. I didn’t feel bad about it. Scary, but true. “So you invited me to come play because I’m now as much of a sociopath as you are.” “Oh, I’m a much better sociopath,” he said. “I’d never let a vampire sink his fangs into my neck. And I wouldn’t date the terminally furry.” “Do you date anyone, ever?” He just smiled that irritating smile that meant he wasn’t going to answer. But he did. “Even Death has needs.” Edward dating? That was something I had to see.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, The Killing Dance

“I’d feel better if I could guard your back.” “You’re going to do that with a rifle from the closest hill, remember.” “Night vision and scope, fine, but I can’t kill them all from a distance.” “You couldn’t kill them all if you were johnny on the spot, either,” I said. “No, but I’d feel better.” “Worried about me?” He shrugged. “I’m your bodyguard. If you die under my protection, the other bodyguards will make fun of me.” It took me a second to realize he was making a joke. Harley looked back at him with an almost surprised look. I don’t think either of us heard humor from Edward much. I”

“They didn’t call me the Executioner for nothing. So how did I end up being safer in the depths of the Circus of the Damned with the monsters than above ground with the humans? Because somewhere along the line, I didn’t kill the monster I should have. That particular monster was gliding up the hallway ahead of me. And he still had the cutest butt I’d ever seen on a dead man.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, The Killing Dance

“The anger washed away in the knowledge that I was a hypocrite. I don’t know how much of it showed on my face, but Jean-Claude cocked his head to one side. “Thoughts are flying across your face, ma petite, but what thoughts?” I stared up at him. “I think I owe you an apology.” His eyes widened. “Then this is a truly historic occasion. What are you apologizing for?” I”

“Richard sensed it and pulled away. He went around to the driver’s side of his car and opened his door, leaning across to unlock mine. He didn’t open the door for me. He knew better than that. I could open my own bloody door. Richard”

“The desk lamp was the only light in the room. The vampire had requested the overheads be turned out. His name was Sabin, and he stood against the far wall, huddling in the dark. He was covered head to foot in a black, hooded cape. He looked like something out of an old Vincent Price movie. I’d never seen a real vampire dress like that. The”
