But this room looked like it had been decorated by the unholy lovechild of Barbie and Strawberry Shortcake.
When someone tells you somebody’s been murdered, laughing is probably not the best response. You know, for future reference.But laughing is exactly what I did.

I would actually write books totally full of nothing BUT kissing scenes, but apparently people like books to have, like, “plots” or whatever.
It just seems like overkill when you already have a dagger and I have superpowerful magic at my disposal.”“‘Superpowerful?’”He stood up, a gold chain dangling from his fingers. “Let me remind you of two words, Mercer: Bad. Dog.
Jackass, jackass on the wall, where’s the info on Hex Hall?
Yeah, I was thinking about taking one of those showers where you huddle in the corner fully clothed and cry,” Archer offered.
So hologram means–” I finally said.”It means non-corporeal, yeah. Which sucks seeing as how there are a lot of very corporeal things I’d like to do with you right now.
Right. So no plans at all then?”Jenna frowned. “Other than rocking in the fetal position for a while?””Yeah, I was thinking about taking one of those showers where you huddle in the corner fully clothed and cry,” Archer offered.
No, but as a vampire, I’m able to detect subtle shifts in emotional energy.
Whoa, I’m your girlfriend now?” Archer shrugged. “We’ve tried to kill each other, fought ghouls, and kissed a lot. I’m pretty sure we’re married in some cultures.
It’s always going to get better someday. Sometime in the future, things won’t be so crazy.
It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you’ve accepted that someone is out of your life, that you’ve grieved and it’s over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you’ve lost that person all over again.

The spell…curled around…like smoke before settling in.Sophie: “Okay, do you guys feel protected?”Archer: “Yes. Also a little violated, but that’s neither here nor there.
We’re going to the Underworld,” Izzy said. She bounced a little as she said it, her eyes bright and her tone implying that “the Underworld” was akin to “Candy Land.
Cross.”His head popped up a few shelves over. “What?”“Check out the magic crap.”He shot me a look. “Oh, is that what we’re supposed to be doing? Because I’ve just been drawing hearts and our initials in the dirt.” Sophie + Archer
I’m not thrilled. And I totally reserve the right to angst over all this later. But honestly, Mom? Right now, I’m so happy to see you that I wouldn’t care if you’re secretly a ninja sent from the future to destroy kittens and rainbows.
It’ll make you feel better.” “By making me dead?” I asked. “I mean, I’m sure that would make my headache go away, but that’s a heck of a side effect.
Mom smiled and brushed my hair away from my face. “You can call yourself whatever youwant.”“Okay. Sophie Awesome Sparkle-Princess it is.
Let’s just say you may regret that second piece of cake.’ Oh my God. Regret cake? Whatever was about to happen must be truly evil.
His voice was low, and I think he would’ve been hot if he weren’t radiating that air of “I Am Super Evil–No, Really–And Not In The Sexy Way.
Why had my life suddenly become a Nancy Drew mystery from hell?
But before he could either comfort me or commit further acts of violence upon my person, I spun away from him and made my drama queen moment complete by running away.
Okay, fine. But just so you know, following me into hell means you’re all definitely the sidekicks.
Leave Dad alone” I told Aislinn. “His Britishness is sort-circuiting.
And the next time I did school stuff in the middle of the night, I just did it in my closet with the door locked. Honestly, what is wrong with this country when striving for excellence means you need antidepressants?
He ran his thumb over my lower lip, sending a flurry of sparks through me. “Good-bye, Sophie.” -Cal
Jenna slipped in wearing an outfit that I can only describe as Hello Kitty Goes Goth.
I also like ladies. And not as in shopping buddies, but in the carnal sense.
All superheroes have origin stories, like how Bruce Wayne’s parents get killed and he goes to Tibet or whatever, and Superman is an alien, and Spiderman had that radioactive spider. Me? I kissed a janitor in the school bathroom
Ryan rolled his eyes. “Harper, you and David Stark have been circling each other since kindergarden.
No, but I mean do you like him? You know, in the carnal sense.”I rolled my eyes. “You’ve clearly been spending too much time with Dex.
