NOTE: To lessen any confusion, all the books are told from Anita's point of view, which is in first person.
Obsidian Butterfly
Edward was an equal opportunity killer. He never discriminated, not for sex, religion, race, or even species. If it was dangerous, Edward would hunt it and kill it. It's what he lived for, what he was--a predator's predator.
- Anita on Edward in the beginning of the book

"Too tenderhearted, am I?"
"Sometimes, and sometimes you're just as dead inside as I am."
Hearing him state it like that was almost scary. Not that he was including me in the same breath as himself, but that Edward knew something had died inside of him.
- Anita and Edward on the phone

Wrap him up in whatever disguise you want, you could dress him like Prince Charming on a Disney float, but as long as you could glimpse his eyes, you would still run screaming.
- Anita when she sees Edward at the airport
• • • • • • • • • •
If the eyes are the mirror to the soul, then Edward's in trouble because no one is home.
- Anita on Edward's eyes
• • • • • • • • • •
"You know if we could love each other, our lives would be less complicated."
- Edward to Anita after mentioning his theory on them being soulmates
• • • • • • • • • •
Staring into Edward's blank face, those empty eyes that felt nothing, I realized that I didn't need a mirror. I already had one.
- Anita looking over at Edward
• • • • • • • • • •
Olaf frowned. "I have never seen you smile like this, Edward, unless you are pretending to be Ted. You look like a proud teacher whose pupil is doing well."
"More like Frankenstein with his monster," I said.
Edward thought about it for a second, then nodded and grinned, pleased with himself. "I like that."
- Conversation Olaf, Anita and Edward have when Olaf states his observations about the other two

He gave a very small smile. "You nearly die, and you ask what's wrong?"
I raised eyebrows at him. "I didn't know you cared."
"More than I should."
- Edward and Anita in the hospital
• • • • • • • • • •
"I want you to do whatever you need to do, Anita. I thought I wanted to get this son of a bitch at any price." He touched my right hand where it lay on the sheet. He didn't hold it, just touched it, then pulled away. "I was wrong. Some things I'm not willing to pay."
- Edward when Anita asks him if he wants her to continue helping him
• • • • • • • • • •
"Only you decide how far gone you are, Anita. Only you can decide how far you'll go."
- Edward when Anita tells him she thinks she's become a lot like him
