He'd told me lots of things.


"Oh man, Jag. You're dead." I took a step away from him so I could swing with more force.*

"We're the New South," Hayes says, "Like Justin Timberlake."

"Ugh, Hayes. Eeee-nough," Madison drawls. "Justin Timberlake lives in LA. He abandoned Memphis at, like, thirteen. And don't let her fool you, Alex. Savannah's still Savannah, and for a lot of people down here, being Southern is a full-time job."

"Nice." Clary grinned, bending down to fold up the blanket they'd brought to sit on. "You're just worried they'll hire a male instructor and he'll be hotter than you."


Jace's eybrows went up. "Hotter than me?"


"It could happen," Clary said.  "You know, theoretically."

TITLE: CLARITY
AUTHOR: Kim Harrington
PUBLICATION DATE: 1 March 2011

Gabriel waved as he descended the stairs, and I caught a glimpse of the bottom of a tattoo peeking out from beneath the sleeve of his T-shirt. I tried to guess what it was. Barbed wire encircling his bicep? A gothic rose, perhaps?


Someone cleared their throat loudly, killing my fantasy moment. I spun around and saw Mom standing there grinning like a kid with a secret.

This Week's Teaser

Emma felt hot breath on her neck, but all she could see was the inside of someone's palm. "You're coming with us." I wished I could see who "us" was, but that was a little wrinkle in this being-dead thing: When Emma couldn't see, neither could I.
