Bram Quotes

― Tessa Dare, A Night to Surrender

― Lia Habel, Dearly, Beloved

― Lia Habel, Dearly, Beloved

“Nora was the only thing that made sense. She was the only unchanging thing in my universe. She was my lodestar. No matter which way my emotions and circumstances and the impulses of my dead, dying, trying body pulled me, no matter how many mistakes I made, she was always true north. Sometimes I’d side with the dead, sometimes with the living, but always with her.”
― Lia Habel, Dearly, Beloved

“Reaching and reached. Cassia”

“[after Bram bit Nora at her request] It hit me then that she wasn't half as disgusted as she should be. '[Nora, a]re you … sure you're okay with it?'

She pulled her sleeve back up and shrugged. She was quiet for a minute before asking, '[Bram. ]Did you enjoy it?'

I decided to tell the truth. 'Yes. You wouldn't believe how good you taste. I don't think i could even describe it.'

She laughed. 'Good? Like filet mignon good? Or like … candy good?”

'Your mother's cooking …”

  "Hiiii!"
  Both of Bram's brows flitted upward. "Hi." He looked at the foil. "I'm not even gonna ask."
  "Martians are trying to control my thoughts, stupid." She noticed me then and smiled. "Hi, Nora! Ooh…" Her eyes fell to the weapon. "Shiny."
  "Nora needs some more appropriate clothes if she's to use the shiny," Bram said.
  Chas clapped her hands together. "Makeover!"
  Oh, God no.…”

“If any ordinary person be afflicted with ennui and want something to take his thoughts away
from a perpetual consideration of his own weariness let me recommend him to take up the
interpretation of secret writing. At first, perhaps, he may regard the matter lightly and be
inclined to smile at its triviality. But after a little while, if he have in him at all any of the
persistence or doggedness which is, and should be, a part of a man’s nature, he will find the
subject take possession of him to the almost entire exclusion of all else.”
― Bram Stoker , The Mystery of the Sea

“-Y tampoco nada de consoladores -dijo-, aun que se lo mucho que deseas uno. Lo cual no es ninguna sorpresa, ya que...
-¿Quieres dejarlo de lado de una vez?
-De lado...Encima...Debajo... -Bram le acaricio la curvatura del labio superior -. Dentro...
una ráfaga de calor recorrió el cuerpo de Georgie. Estaba a punto de derretirse.”

Se había enamorado de él.”
