Summary
"I was always glad to be with Tess, but I was especially thankful for the distraction she offered me tonight. I didn’t want it to matter that tomorrow Baxter would come home and she’d have to be there to greet him while I was alone in my shitty apartment. I didn’t want it to matter that Baxter’s company likely was going beyond reckless endangerment and had committed murder. Worst of all, I didn’t want my quickly rising feelings for Tess to factor into any of this. It was getting impossible to delude myself into thinking this was a casual fling I could wriggle my way out of when necessary, but I couldn’t look directly at the reality of the situation either."

Summary
"I keep reaching into my pocket to touch the card Enzo gave me, as though to make sure it’s still there. I immediately forget the stranger’s misplaced warning to me, and fall headfirst into the fantasy of stardom at Enzo’s side. Each time I run my fingers over the card, I feel a thrilling spark inside me. It throws me back into the whirlwind of awe and disbelief that Enzo Valenciano, lead singer of Hanging Fire, came down from heaven and pulled me up with him."

For Anden, it's never been a question of if vampires are real, it's a matter of where he can find them. He finds them among his friends, in his office, in his own reflection.
For Day, it's never been a question of if vampires are real, it's a matter of what they are allowed to get away with.

Summary
Tess ignores the spite that builds like fire in her stomach, the prick of something spikey and heavy in her throat, she clenches her jaw and her fists and stands a little straighter. She rolls her shoulders to get rid of any visible remaining notes of jealousy, ugly and violent, from her demeanor. But she couldn’t ignore the spin of vertigo she got, the cruel yank on her heart, the all too familiar frenzy in her mind. And suddenly she was thirteen again, pining after a Wing she’d never have, frustratingly in love with someone who always has their back to you. It’s just as painful now as it was when she was a little girl.
A dumb bitch (me) doesn’t know when to quit.
Teden is dead when I say it is, and I’m not done yet.
