City of Fallen Angels Quotes

“The door buzzer sounded again. The two boys exchanged a single look before both bolting down the narrow hallway to the door. Jordan got there first.

"They always smell like seaweed." "It's not funny," Alec said savagely, and kicking back his chair, he got up from the table and stalked off into the crowd.”

"Is this one of those keep-your-friends-close-and-your-enemies-closer things?"
