“Besides the alternate universe offered by a book, the quiet space of a museum was my favorite place to go. My mom said I was an escapist at heart . . . that I preferred imaginary worlds to the real one. It’s true that I’ve always been able to yank myself out of this world and plunge myself into another.”

Amy Plum,
Die for Me
“Well, spit on my empty grave--if it ain't the attack of the Disney princesses!” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“I'm a revenant, not a vampire, chérie." ~ Vincent Delacroix” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“He ran his finger along my jawline and down my neck. "The wait will be fun, but it's not going to be easy.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“I have to warn you that my bedroom isn't the best place to stage an assault on me. It's where I'm at my weakest, with my bed a mere twenty feet away.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“I spent the rest of the day in someone else's story. The rare moments that I put the book down, my own pain returned in burning stabs.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“I can't promise you an ordinary experience, Kate. I wish I could transform myself into a normal man and be there for you, always, without the trauma that defines my life as "the walking dead." Since that isn't possible, I can only reassure you that I will do everything in my power to make it up to you. To give you more than a normal boyfriend could. I have no idea what that will mean, exactly, but I'm looking forward to finding out. With you.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“Stop flaunting your impeccable language skills, Vincent, help the girl to her feet and let her take her leave” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“I had feared that love would make me vulnerable. Instead I felt empowered.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“So is this a habit of yours, leaving your bag behind in order te strike up a conversation?" He grinned and nodded at the bench where I had been sitting. Lying beneath it was my book bag. "Wouldn't it be easier to just walk up to a guy and say hello?” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“So you’re making demands, are you? Well, let’s hear them.”“I want unlimited access.”“Now that sounds interesting. To what, exactly?” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“Lucky man,"Jules said to me, leaning over to kiss my cheeks. "What I wouldn't give to be in your head." Instead of the usual quick air-kisses, he took his time kissing both of my cheeks tenderly. "Jules!" I gasped, feeling myself blush. He stood, looking up in space, and raised both arms as if in surrender. "Okay, okay, man. Hands off, I get it! But it's not often we get a young pretty human in the house. in fact, it's never.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“You've heard of vampires?"I nodded."You've heard of werwolves?""Of course.""Had you ever heard of us?"I shook my head."That's called 'staying under the radar,' dear Kate. It's what we're good at.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“We're all lost souls here. It's a good thing we've got each other.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“Thank you for being here, my beauty. Mon ange. My Kate. Your utterly, Vincent.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“I saw a picture of you and Vincent in a 1968 newspaper that said you died in a fire," I said, turning to Ambrose.He nodded at me with a little smile, urging me on."So how can you be here now?""Well, I'm glad we're starting with the easy questions," he said, stretching his powerful arms and then leaning toward me. "The answer would be ... because we're zombies!" and he let out a horrible groan, stretching his mouth open and baring his teeth as he curled his hands into claws. Seeing my terrified expression, Ambrose began cracking up and slapping his knee with his hand. "Just kidding," he cackled, and then, calming down, looked at me sedately. "But no, seriously. We're zombies.""We are not zombies!" said Charlotte, her voice rising with annoyance.” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“He leaned forward and opened his door, politely standing aside to let me by before following me in. There are some advantages to dating a guy from another era, I thought. Though I am a big believer in gender equality, chivalry scores high in my book.” ― Amy Plum
“My mom said I was an escapist at heart.... that I preferred imaginary worlds to the real one” ― Amy Plum, Die for Me
“Kate, I admit that we aren’t in the easiest of situations. But are you always this . . . complicated?”I opened my mouth to say something, but Vincent shook his head, grinning. “Actually, don’t answer that. Of course you are. I wouldn’t be so totally into you if you weren’t.” ― Amy Plum, Until I Die
