"I breathe in and the blue fades out. I exhale swirling colors that streak across the clouds like rainbows on soapy water. I reach upward with my free hand. The evening sunlight touches my skin like golden water and I feel safe--almost like heaven is falling from the sky to protect me. It should be confusing but somehow it all makes sense to me. It makes sense the way a dream makes sense. The only difference is, I'm awake."

"The first thing I saw was the blood. It had seeped across the carpet almost all the way to the hall from where the woman was lying. She was curled on the floor by the foot of the bed, facing toward me. Her eyes were closed, but her mouth was pulled back in a grimace like she'd been snarling when she died. Her arms were wrapped around a toddler, who was  staring at nothing, his face pale and blue. His pajamas were soaked red. It looked like she'd sliced herself open from wrist to elbows and held him while she bed out."

"Cinder's heart tripped as his grin caught her by surprise, every bit as charming and unexpected as it had been at the market. Then her eyes spotted the holograph behind him, still showing her inner workings--from the metal vertebrae to her bunched wires to her perfectly intact ovaries. She snapped her gaze back to Kai, pulse racing."
Cinder (Lunar Chronicles #1)

"She screamed. The sea wrapped its fingers around her arms and pinned them to her sides. And she felt the spreading pain as it tore open her chest and poured itself into her lungs with a persistent, painstaking violence."

"A hand touched his shoulder. Then lifted to his cheek, brushing back some of the hair from his face. Evan's fingers were warm even while the rest of Archer shuddered from the cold."
