Quote #7
Aphrodite […] threw me a disgusted look over her shoulder. "It's not like you can come to a Dark Daughters' ritual dressed like that." (16.25)
Oh, hey, snobby about appearances much, Aphrodite? She basically shames Zoey about the way she's dressed, implying that the Dark Daughters are a truly exclusive club. Which they kind of are… but we might think that would be based on personal merit, rather than how hot you are.
Quote #8
Yep, as I'd suspected, there wasn't one ugly, dorky-looking kid present. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, except Elliott was attractive. (16.89)
More proof that the Dark Daughters is an exclusive group, and their exclusivity is based mostly on looks. Um, no offense kids, but if you judge someone based solely on how they look, you're going to miss out on a lot of talent and compassion.
Quote #9
There was something else different about him, too. His body looked strange—thinner. How was that possible? (26.46)
Elliott died practically right in front of Zoey… but for some reason she sees him running around, looking thin, with fangs and weird red eyes and a body that has instantly slimmed down. What's up with that? We know that appearances aren't everything, but we're right with Zoey: It's weird for a dead person to change how they look and be walking and talking.
