    House wishes he could appreciate the barrage of open mouthed kisses being laid along his collarbone, but as much as he’s enjoying the sensation, it’s far too loving.

    Summary

    Raphael’s fellow vampires often describe drinking blood to be equivalent to something sexual.

    Raphael’s never understood that analogy. Perhaps that’s because he lacks the grounds to make the comparison.

    All he knows is that blood from an animal tastes like ash in his mouth, blood from a human tastes like a home-cooked meal, and blood from Isabelle Lightwood-

    It tastes like fucking home.

    -

    Simon Lewis can’t say God yet. Raphael’s Catholic ‘til his dying breath, but Joshua on the third floor of the hotel still prays to Yahweh, two hundred years after his turn. He’s learned how to say his old prayers and ignore the pain of the holy words on his lips.

    Nesreen on the second floor is Muslim, turned eighty years ago. She still wears her hijab. She still kneels at the five points of the day.

    The prayers burn their lips on the worst days, but they don’t stop. They keep going.

    (They have to. It’s been decades, sometimes centuries, since their turns, but they have to continue having faith. They have to continue believing.

    Some days, it’s the only thing that makes them still feel human and not like the monsters they all know they are, deep inside.)

    Summary

    "One too many drinks down in the barrel could get a man killed if he wasn't careful, and picking a fight with Jesper Fahey was about as far from careful as one could get without stepping right off into the harbor."

    The first [and last] time someone made a comment about the Crow's personal affairs.
