Here are a few more quotes from Namey I highlighted while reading my Kindle:
“I raised the bottle to toast a cast-iron sky, spying the shadowed form of Asher Fleet. He stood alone on the hard-packed sand, halfway between fire and water.”
“This cozy nook smelled like people’s living rooms and leather messenger bags. Rose water and cigarette smoke. Potpourri and vacation sunscreen and binding glue, with a hint of wool and mildew.”
“The clean-edged focus of Asher’s stare, plus the candor underneath the rest of him, grabbed me by the feet. Upending. Shaking. Parts of me—the shadow parts—were spilling out onto the floor and I couldn’t stop them.”
