Oh for craps sake. You're not dying again, are you? It's seriously inconvenient when you do that." -Aphrodite

Nice dress Zoey. It looks just like mine. Oh, wait! It used to be mine. Aphrodite laughed a throaty, I'm-so-grown-and-you're-just-a-kid laugh. I really hate it when girls do that.I mean, yes, she's older, but I have boobs, too.

Can you imagine a demon auction? Serial killer going once...twice...sold to the drama queen at the corner.

At the last parent visitation night I'd sorta accidentally watched a majorly nightmarish scene between Aphrodite and her parents. Her dad's the mayor of Tulsa. Her mom might be Satan.

The Fomorians skittered backward, away from me, looking justifiably confused. I mean, really, how many human women actually run to them?

Oh. Yeah. That does make sense.” Shaylin hesitated. “But I don’t know which dorm room is hers.” “Third floor, number thirty-six.
