Holly Black
You are the best kind of killer, Cassel Sharpe, the kind that never has blood on his hands. The kind that never has to sicken at the sight of what he's done, or come to like it too much.
Holly Black
You are more dangerous than daybreak.
Holly Black
She can’t help it. She loves the con. I tell myself I’m not like her, but I have to admit I love it too.
Holly Black
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
