“Tell me you won't go, tell me you'll stay forever, tell me you love me.”

C.J. Archer,
The Medium
“I know you think what we have is sordid. Perhaps it is. Perhaps neither of us knows how to love properly and this is our twisted way of showing that we care. Or perhaps we should both be committed to an asylum” ― C.J. Archer, Of Fate and Phantoms
“It was like comparing chocolate and apples. Both tasted good, yet one was a decadent experience to be savored, and the other something that could be found in every grocer's cart on every corner. I liked both, but I would always choose chocolate over an apple.” ― C.J. Archer, The Watchmaker's Daughter
“Yet he'd never laughed at the jokes I laughed at. I should have taken that as a sign that he wasn't for me, at the very least.” ― C.J. Archer, The Watchmaker's Daughter
“met Barnaby Wiggam's ghost. The fat, bulbous-nosed spirit fading in and out beside me like a faulty gas lamp clearly thought he was dealing with a fool. I may only be seventeen but I'm not naïve. I know when someone is lying—being dead didn't alter the tell-tale signs. Mr. Wiggam didn't quite meet my eyes, or those of his widow and her guests—none of whom could see him anyway—and he fidgeted with his crisp white silk necktie as if it strangled” ― C.J. Archer, The Medium
“Where common sense gets thrown out and emotions rule, trouble follows.” ― C.J. Archer, The Magician's Diary
“Things tend to fall into perspective when your life hangs in the balance.” ― C.J. Archer, The Watchmaker's Daughter
“The devil get you," Holloway hissed. "One day. But not today. I be too busy.” ― C.J. Archer, The Last Necromancer
“I do love a woman who can misquote Shakespeare to me.” ― C.J. Archer, The Wisdom of Madness
“So much for a level head. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came. Instead, to my horror, I threw my arms around him and whispered, "I've missed you so much." He wrapped his arms around me, leaning close to my ear. "Not as much as I've missed you." I felt like I was in the arms of someone who loved me and would go to the ends of the earth to protect me. His breath tickled my skin. "Do you actually remember me, my beautiful?" Before I could answer, I heard my parents and friends gasping in surprise. My face warmed, and I let go of Cliff and then turned around. I couldn't explain why I'd leaped into a stranger's arms. I only knew it was the right response.” ― C.J. Archer, The Paranormal 13
“If there is no respect between you, no genuine friendship, and no love, then you'll end up despising one another.” ― C.J. Archer, Of Fate and Phantoms
“Luckily I can’t afford therapy, so I’ll never really know how crazy I am.” ― C.J. Archer, The Paranormal 13
“Anyway,” I added, “why do you want people noticing you? I thought you were with Anthony.” “I am. But that doesn’t mean I don’t still want guys looking at me.” ― C.J. Archer, The Paranormal 13
“He leaned back and sat very still. He was often still, whether sitting or standing, as if conserving every ounce of energy and storing it for later use.” ― C.J. Archer, Her Majesty's Necromancer
“Fitzroy stood over the body, his arms rigid at his sides, a bloody dagger in each hand. His loose hair fell to his eyes in ragged tangles. He was covered in blood, some of it probably his, and looked very much like an avenging devil” ― C.J. Archer, The Last Necromancer
“With his back to me, he said, "It's best if we both forget what happened." "Of course. For the best." I didn't sound convincing but he seemed satisfied with my response. I watched him ride off with a hundred different responses running through my head and a thousand regrets piercing my heart.” ― C.J. Archer, The Echo of Broken Dreams
“You are correct, of course. But who is to say what the balance is and what is chaos? Does not chaos become the new balance, in time?” ― C.J. Archer, The Toymaker's Curse
“Fear did not make someone cowardly; allowing that fear to stop them taking appropriate action, did. He” ― C.J. Archer, The Medium
“It lies not in our power to love or hate, For will in us is overruled by fate.” ― C.J. Archer, The Charmer
