A stray dog, I might understand, she said. But this? You are too softhearted. No, Mabry, Ravus said. I am not. He looked in Val's direction. I think she wants to die. Maybe you can help her after all, Mabry said. You're good at helping people die.

Holly Black
Ruthless. That’s my girl.
Holly Black
This is never going to be over,” I shout. “Someone will always be after me. There’s always consequences. Well, BRING IT. I am done with being afraid, and I am done with you.
Holly Black
The first boy I fell in love with didn't know I loved him, but he managed to break my heart anyway.
Holly Black
She knew what it felt like to tremble like that before touching someone -- desire so acute that it became despair.
Holly Black
Everyone danced -- sweaty bodies packed tight, drunk with sound.
Holly Black
Instead, it just reminded her that sometimes there were no good choices.
Holly Black
Maybe it was that nearly everyone else was dead and she felt a little bit dead too, but she figured that even a vampire deserved to be saved. Maybe she ought to leave him, but she wasn't going to.
