"She'd loved Mada Vittora once. A twisted, misunderstood love, but even the cruelest forms of love were never lost without heartache."

-Megan Shepherd, Grim Lovelies (Grim Lovelies, #1)

"Only humans could write such pain and love, could make her swoon one minute and cry the next over something that had never really happened to people who’d never really existed."

-Megan Shepherd, Grim Lovelies (Grim Lovelies, #1)

"And it was true, there were rocks and there was smog, but there was also stars. The city was like life itself: good and bad, pretty and ugly, kindness and cruelty all in one. But most important, it simply was. And that felt like a kind of magic too."

-Megan Shepherd, Grim Lovelies (Grim Lovelies, #1)

"She could feel energy thrumming in the prince’s movements, but it was tightly contained. Everything about him whispered control. Maybe that was the problem, she thought. Too much control made for a rigid heart. Hearts were made to beat steadily, yes, but they were also meant to tremble."
