How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
She still wouldn't look at me, but she did glance at Heath, who looked clueless—but that was really his only look. So my best friend was going after my boyfriend. (17.52)
It's no fun to realize that your best friend is trying to poach your boyfriend… but this is exactly what Zoey realizes once she sees the way Kayla looks at Heath. Ugh. In our minds, being friends with someone means respecting their preexisting relationships, but maybe Kayla didn't get that memo. Or maybe she figures Heath is fair game since Zoey's now Marked to become a vampyre. Whatever the cause, we wouldn't trust Kayla to have our backs.
Quote #5
"They made me cry and when I said no they laughed at me and kicked me out. That's how I met Damien, and then Erin and Shaunee… They've been my friends ever since." (19.112)
Stevie Rae tells Zoey about her first encounter with the Dark Daughters, which is also how she became friends with Damien, Erin, and Shaunee. They caught up with her after that traumatic experience, told her not to worry about it, and became her friends. True friends right from the start.
Quote #6
I was still going to argue, even though everything inside of me felt relieved and happy and grateful that my friends would be there with me, that they wouldn't let me face all of this uncertainty alone.
Value them; they are pearls of great price. The familiar voice floated through my mind… (22.51-52)
When Zoey decides to try casting her own ritual circle in order to do the purification prayer and ask for guidance from Nyx, her friends volunteer to come along for the ride. Zoey finds this really reassuring. Not only that, but she hears a voice in her head telling her that she should treasure her friends. This voice has been speaking up since her encounter with Nyx, and she's slowly learning to trust it (just like she's slowly learning to trust her friends).
