Taste of Darkness by Maria V. Snyder

"He pointed to a spot a couple days northeast of our location. We'd pass close enough to a Lily cluster to check for Death Lilys and possibly harvest its toxin. It was also outside the area we'd searched for Kerrick, so there'd be new ground to cover. And once we reached HQ, I would get to be pissy to Ryne in person. A bright side after all."

- Taste of Darkness, Pg. 45, Paperback

"My, my, what a pickle you're in, my dear, Tohon said. He lounged next to me on a huge canopy bed, wearing only his black silk pajama pants. Trying to save the world, again?"

- Taste of Darkness, Pg. 235, Paperback

Uninvited by Sophie Jordan

"You have no rights. You're a sublevel human. That means anything can happen to you and no one will care." His face dips closer. His cheek rests against mine as he hisses close to my ear, "Anyone can do anything to you. There is no protection. No place in this whole country where you should feel safe now." 

- Uninvited, Pg. 217, Hardcover

"It's a hard battle. The life I had is a dim dream that haunts me still. Somehow, Sean makes me forget. And remember. A dangerous combination when I'm only supposed to be looking ahead to the future."

- Uninvited, Pg. 303, Hardcover

Tremble by Jus Accardo

"There were too many people and I had nowhere to run. My heard pounded, and I swallowed back the thick lump of worry caught in my throat. I didn't need this. 

Not now. Not tonight.

-Tremble by Jus Accardo, Kindle Ebook

"Getting my ass handed to me by an invisible girl was embarrassing and certainly not the best impression to give the new guy. In the corner, Ben watched, wide-eyed, clearly having no intention of leaving his hiding place. Obviously he wasn't the help-a-damsel-in-distress type. Then again, I wasn't the damsel type."

Prophecy by Ellen Oh

 

 

"I believe that one person can change the world. Whether he is the Musado or a girl with a tiger spirit. The monks teach that we mere mortals cannot question fate. But I say that we control destiny by our every action. Our power lies in the choices we make." Her father placed his warm hand on her cheek. "In the choices you make. Remember, stay true to yourself and do what your heart tells you is right, and not what is easy."

-Prophecy by Ellen Oh, Kindle Ebook

 

"People feared Kira. They called her the Demon Slayer to her face and much worse behind her back. It didn't matter that she was a first cousin to the crown prince or that she'd saved his life from a demon attack. Ten years was long enough for most to forget what really happened and instead to believe the rumors that began soon after."

The Demon King By Cindy Williams Chima

 

 

"You're not a thief. Not anymore. If he said it often enough it might stick. But he couldn't let it lie. There was something malevolent yet fascinating about the amulet. Power emanated from it like heat from a stove on a cold day."

-The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima, Hardcover Pg. 18

 

"Gray wolves, the symbol of her house. Raisa caught a glimpse of narrow lupine heads and amber eyes, tongues lolling over razor-sharp teeth, and then they disappeared. Wolves were said to appear to the blooded queens at turning points: times of danger and opportunity."

Blood-Kissed Sky by J.A. London

 

 

"I turn off my lamp, welcoming the plunge of shadows. Whereas so many of us fear the darkness, I'm beginning to draw comfort from it. This world without light, this world of midnight sounds calms my breath, calms my heart. I feel its grasp slowly enveloping me, and all I can do is thank it for being there. For always being there."

-Blood-Kissed Sky, Ebook

 

"It isn't high up, and it isn't moving fast, but the fear causes most peole to stumble before getting up and running. Then I see what they're running from. A Day Walker."

Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

 

 

"Good fortune will find those with pure hearts, even when all seems lost."

Kindle Ebook

 

Even in the darkest and most cruel person, there is still a kernel of good. And within the most perfect champion, there is also darkness. The question is, will one give in to the dark or the light? It's something we decide with every choice we make, every day that we exist. What might not be evil to you could be evil to someone else. Knowing this makes us powerful even without magic."

Crimson Frost by Jennifer Estep

 

 

"I snorted. Oh, I knew I was in trouble. I was almost always in trouble these days. The only questions was how bad it would be this time-and if I could somehow manage to get out of it alive once again."

Kindle- Location 137

 

"Okay, so maybe it was going to be that bad after all. Still, I couldn't keep myself from asking the inevitable question. And what about the very worst? What's the punishment if I'm found guilty? Linus looked at me, his eyes cold in his face. Death. "

Elemental by Antony John

 

 

 

"Griffin's eyes grew wide in astonishment, and his face opened like a sun breaking through clouds. For a precious moment, everything seemed right. But then the smile disappeared. His expression shifted. He looked frightened - horrified, even.

That's when the noise began."

-Hardcover Page 12

 

"A gust of wind bent the trees and scattered the needles. The first drops of rain came with it. I believe in you, Thomas, she said. Always have. I want you to know that."

"Ahead of me was a luminous aqua pool, only about six feet around. On the flattened wall above it, the last of the writing said, "Don't Let Them In." -Location 649 Kindle

Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor

 

 

"Once upon a time, an angel and a devil held a wishbone between them. And its snap split the world in two."

 

"All she'd known in that moment was the ruin of Loramendi. Over the blackened landscape hung something Karou had never felt before: an emptiness so profound that the very atmosphere felt thin, it felt scraped, like an animal hide stretched on a rack and hacked at and hacked at until it was clean."

The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa

 

 

"But the Half-Breed knew about her. That could be trouble. As if I needed any more, as if being the delinquint, broody, don't-let-your-daughter-date-this-hooligan wasn't enough, now someone knew about my connection to the world of faery."

Hardcover-Page 32

 

"The faery raised one one long, bony finger and pointed at me. "Do not interfere," it whispered. "Do not become involved in what will soon happen around you. This is not your fight. We seek no trouble with the Iron Court. But if you meddle in our affairs, human, you put those you care about at risk."

Toxic by Jus Accardo

 

 

His head was bleeding where the chair had hit him, and his expression was full of fury. His lips were moving, and even though it was dark, there was enough moonlight for me to get a pretty good idea what he'd said.

"This isn't over."

-Kindle Location: 2343-45

 

Alex rolled his eyes. Grabbing another tissue, he dabbed he corner of his forehead. "And you're still alive. Time to get over it." Kale held his hand out to Ginger. "Fine. Give me something sharp. If I stab him, then we'll be even."

Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst

 

 

 

"Trickery had failed. Hiding hadn't protected them. So she was going to try the direct approach. After all, what more did she have to lose?" Kindle

 

"Wind whipped into the exposed tent, and sand flayed her. She saw the shape of the wolf, blurred by the swirling sand. He leaped for her again, and she struck toward his throat as she ducked beneath his jaws." Kindle

Starling by Lesley Livingston

          "He'd seen the way she'd looked at him. Moreover...he'd seen the way she'd looked at him. That guy. The arrogant blond naked-what the hell-stranger who'd appeared in the middle of all that stormy insanity and, like some kind of mythic hero, and saved their necks. While Cal stood around and got his face shredded."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        "Mason was the first to see them- dusky skinned monstrosities, only vaguely human shaped, with slack, rubbery flesh. "Toby"! she shrieked in warning."
