“Now you listen to me...you may be one badass Sentinel, but guess what, so am I now. Stop questioning your place in our lives. Stop doubting us when we say that no matter what, this is what we want. You are what we want. The scorching I just got from those runes? That’s nothing compared to the hurt when you doubt me, doubt your place with us. So get your shit together, Killer. Either you’re in, or you’re out.”

Ivy Asher,
Awakened and Betrayed
“How do you call this a house?” I ask rhetorically. “This is the kind of place that has a name like Chateau be Jealous of All My Money.” I look around in complete astonishment.” ― Ivy Asher, The Lost and the Chosen
“I wonder how many orgasms I could have consecutively before I imploded?” I ask offhandedly, and Siah laughs as he rinses his hair out. “I don’t think I could handle more than four before I shriveled up into nothing. Pretty sure males aren’t meant for multiple back-to-back releases.” “Yeah, that is a lot of magical ball butter to lose in one go,” I agree, and Siah barks out a laugh.” ― Ivy Asher, The Marked and the Broken
“I want to collapse. I want to fall on the sidewalk right them and drag myself to the ivy.” ― Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why
“I’m not ready for what comes next. I’m not ready to soldier on and make the best of things. My armor is damaged, weak, and I can’t go into battle that way. I can’t win a fight when I have nothing left inside to fight with” ― Ivy Asher, The Lost and the Chosen
“Or me. As Asher pulled into Ivy’s driveway, I was reminded of the fact that I wasn’t as removed from the power players in this town as I felt. There was a limo parked in the drive. Asher eyed it. “Just another afternoon at Ivy Kendrick’s house?” The car had shaded windows, with glass that I deeply suspected was bulletproof. One of Ivy’s clients, I thought. With any luck, maybe she would be busy enough that she wouldn’t have time to cross-examine me about why I’d skipped school—or where I’d spent the afternoon. I unbuckled my seat belt and opened the car door.” ― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Fixer
“Oh. Damn. I should’ve known a trio of hotties like you would prefer snakes to beavers.” ― Ivy Asher, April's Fools
“You looove me. You want to bond with me, make love and have babies,” he singsongs to me, and I laugh and then choke on the word babies. “Babies are a hard pass, bro,” I tell him, and he smiles at me like I’ve said nothing. “For real, Sabin,” I warn him,” ― Ivy Asher, The Marked and the Broken
“A strike of purple magic blinks up my torso, and I roll my eyes at it. You mind your own damn business, magic, and just so we’re clear, hoarding is not an attractive trait. Violet magic sparks up on my arm and moves across the back of my hand and blinks out at the tip of my middle finger. I stare at my hand, open-mouthed, not sure if I should laugh or be offended by the fact that I’m pretty sure my magic just told me to fuck off. I laugh. Cheeky fucking magic!” ― Ivy Asher, The Marked and the Broken
“You wish,” I respond, but I’m once again confused as to who I’m responding to; could be Pigeon, my crazy ass, or an imaginary friend at this point. Or maybe I’m losing it?” ― Ivy Asher, The Hidden
“I’m so ready for a glass of wine, my just big enough tub, and some Witcher. Lord knows I need a healthy dose of Henry Cavill in my life to remind me why I shouldn’t look into becoming a lesbian.” ― Ivy Asher, The Bone Witch
“I’m tempted to shut my eyes and hope the if I can’t see you, you can’t see me theory works in this case,” ― Ivy Asher, The Hidden
“We are not okay; do you not see that I’m naked and being manhandled? We’re about as far from being okay as it fucking gets! Where are you going?” ― Ivy Asher, The Hidden
“It doesn’t work that way,” Ryn starts to say, but I cut him off. “Then you do dishonor me,” I accuse, using the term that Zeph did and trying to ignore the fact that I sound like the dragon from Mulan.” ― Ivy Asher, The Hidden
“Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.” ― Ivy Asher, Awakened and Betrayed
“How the fuck do you not know the meaning of stop and no?” I snap back, defensive. “You like to fight me and then fuck me, Falon. I thought it was just more of the same.” ― Ivy Asher, The Hidden
“Seriously, give me a cape, and I’d be legit as fuck,” I tell him. “Edna says no capes,” he deadpans, and it’s my turn to crack up.” ― Ivy Asher, The Marked and the Broken
“You’re the light in the darkness. The stars that guide you home when you’re lost. You carry the broken from battle and lift the drowning from the clawing cold that’s trying to claim them. You slay the demons.” ― Ivy Asher, The Bound Witch
“Because I had met someone who made me want to run to them instead of away...and then I lost her. I was fed up with backing down and fleeing. It was time to make them pay.” ― Ivy Asher, The Bound Witch
