Something Wicked Quotes

“Fucking hell,” Ethan muttered. “They stripped her organs.” He was right. Her chest and abdomen were nothing but a cavity. The blood sang as it soaked into the snow. This girl had been murdered in cold blood—sacrificed. The silence in the forest was deafening.”

“Who is Adrestia?” Ethan put his arm around her shoulders and tucked her into his side, careful not to touch her face. His fingers were still laced in hers and Mika studied their hands, wondering if she would ever be able to do this without all these layers between them. “She is the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite,” Ethan told her, running his thumb over her shoulder in a soothing pattern. “She would go into war with Ares – ‘she who none can escape.’ The goddess of revenge and retribution – she is the equilibrium, the balance between good and evil, and so beautiful that gods and titans fought over her.”
