Words of Wisdom #13

Even when you know what’s coming, some things still hit you like a punch in the gut.

Or like a demon imp dropping on your head.

~Dessa, Forsaken (which I SWEAR I'm not working on)

Words of Wisdom #12

I love clothes. It’s a fault, probably, but clothes are like a billboard to everyone you meet; easy to manipulate people if you know how to dress. Clothes tell people whether you’re a wimpy little girl, a sultry vixen, or a bad-ass chick they shouldn’t fuck with. I always waver between the latter two...except for that time I posed as someone peddling The Watchtower to get into my target’s house and make the kill. Surprisingly, no one opens the door for a Jehovah’s Witness in a satin bustier.

~Zara, Bloodlines (revised edition)

Words of Wisdon #11

“You know, for a goddess, her ass is a little lopsided,” Charity said with a thoughtful frown.

I didn’t even look up. “No it’s not.”

“It seriously is. Don’t believe me? Next time you get in a smackdown with her, comment on her lopsided ass. If she smites you, I’m right.”

~Charity, Wounded

Words of Wisdom #10

Why the hell were some people effortlessly beautiful? I mean, I never wanted to be pretty before and I still didn’t really. I just...I wanted everyone else to be ugly too. That wasn’t too much to ask.

~Dessa, Wounded

"'A few weeks ago it was good enough that he was just there.
'Good enough' had an expiry date, though, and it was starting to go rancid.”

Words of Wisdom #7

"The demons I knew traded in death and terror, yes, but it was humans who dealt in cruelty.”

~Dessa, Abandoned

Words of Wisdom #6

"I didn’t concern myself much anymore with “types” since I couldn’t be bothered dating. As long as the car worked and he knew how to drive it, I’d navigate him around the curves; make and model weren’t an issue."

Jade, Psalms

Words of Wisdom #5
