From "Waking Dream" (book 5 of the Dream Series)

“Dad, you’re not living on borrowed time!” There, I said it. “Just because – God, Dad, this is so hard! But you need to believe it. Just because your parents died early doesn’t mean you have to.”

From SANGUINARY by Margo Bond Collins

But something about him sang to me, like a tune just out of hearing, almost recognized, a song of protection and death—and I wanted to dance to it, almost as much as I wanted to escape it.

From "Immortal Relations" (1st of the 3 Immortal Relation Series)

The pain was unbearable, I writhed and shuddered on the table, sucking in breath, making a noise like AHHHHHH...UMMMMMM, while my veins stood out all over my body as my back arched and I continued to writhe.
