Nocturnal Quotes: Pretty Little Dead Girls

Hello, my friends!

We had to skip our Nocturnal Quotes post last week due to some unforseen circumstances, but today we're back with something very special to my heart. This time, the quote wasn't chosen by me, but by the author herself. However, I must say, although there's plenty of awesomeness to choose from, I would have likely chosen the same one myself.

Nocturnal Quotes: Blackout

Hello, nocturnal librarians!

I hope you're having a fabulous weekend. It's all work work work for me these days, but fortunately, it's time for yet another Nocturnal Quotes post, and I chose an all-time favorite once again.

Nocturnal Quotes: The Quintana Edition

Hello, nocturnal librarians!

It's time for another Nocturnal Quote. I actually haven't found a single quote worth mentioning this week so I decided to go with an all-time favorite. Hold on to your seats, it's a powerful one. It's been a few years, but the intensity is always the same. It's Melina Marchetta, after all. I think she needs no further introduction.

Nocturnal Quotes: The Oversight Edition

Hello, lovelies!

It's time for our second ever Nocturnal Quote, courtesy of Le Non Design. For this week, I've chosen a quote from a historical urban fantasy novel I loved, The Oversight by Charlie Fletcher. I reviewed The Oversight just yesterday - if you missed it, you can find my review HERE.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Edie Kramer has a score to settle with the beautiful people at Blackbriar Academy. Their cruelty drove her to the brink of despair, and four months ago, she couldn't imagine being strong enough to face her senior year. But thanks to a Faustian compact with the enigmatic Kian, she has the power to make the bullies pay. She's not supposed to think about Kian once the deal is done, but devastating pain burns behind his unearthly beauty, and he's impossible to forget.

In one short summer, her entire life changes, and she sweeps through Blackbriar, prepped to take the beautiful people down from the inside. A whisper here, a look there, and suddenly... bad things are happening. It's a heady rush, seeing her tormentors get what they deserve, but things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon, the pranks and payback turns from delicious to deadly. Edie is alone in a world teeming with secrets and fiends lurking in the shadows. In this murky morass of devil's bargains, she isn't sure who—or what--she can trust. Not even her own mind...

In my experience, all the best books come from the most genuine of places. Of course, fiction is always fiction and I wouldn’t want it any other way, but the underlying emotion has to be honest. Authors don’t always draw from acquired knowledge and experience; after all, their characters can have a very different set of values, but the very best authors rely on emotions that are familiar and true.
