    Deidre hurried into the shadow world.

    52

    Deidre led him into the shadow world at a quick pace.

    80

    He cannot enter Death's domain or other areas of the Immortal world without invitation.

    92

    93

    He didn't push himself awake but let his senses register the world slowly.

    94

    He didn't wait for a response but opened a portal and crossed into the mortal world.

    95

    He emerged from the shadow world in a luxurious penthouse suite in Paris overlooking the Arc de Triomphe.

    96

    He felt as if he stood outside his body, watching the world around him.

    97

    He felt her deep confusion of the world around her and marveled again at how selfless she still managed to be.

    98

    He gathered the tools of the trade, weapons for killing quickly this time, and stepped through the portal to the shadow world.

    99

    He gave her a look that said he didn't have all the patience in the world then pulled her arm free again.

    100

    He gazed around once more and then turned and walked away, back into the shadow world.

    101

    He glanced over his shoulder as he entered the shadow world.

    102

    He had made his leap, he had seen the great world, and was content to stay in his pretty glass house under the big fuchsia tree until he attained the dignity of froghood.

    103

    He hadn't said a word most of the day, taking in Dusty's world with fascination.

    104

    He hadn't thought about how different the world would be for her.

    105

    He leans on me like I'm the only person in the world.

    106

    He left for the mortal world and emerged in an alley in some large city.

    107

    He loved Molly and she thinks the world of him.

    108

    He lugged the coffin through the portal into the shadow world and then paused to think.

    109

    He moved closer, and she found herself arrested by handsome features and eyes that turned every color in the world.

    110

    He needed the reminder of the good in the world, because he saw none of it from the shadows where he spent his life.

    111

    He opened a portal and crossed into the shadow world and then through a portal into a Japanese-style palatial estate overlooking Tokyo.

    112

    He opened a portal so fast, the shadow world sucked her breath out.

    113

    He paced again, wondering why Sasha would put a human in his zoo, unless this was the worst human in the world.

    114

    He patted her leg with another of his friendly smiles and turned his attention to the world racing by them.

    115

    He pulled out his phone, texted Bianca, and waited, willing the message to make it to her in the in-between world where he'd accidentally sent her.

    116

    He released her without another word, and she curled onto her side, weeping not only for the bizarre world she'd entered but from the realization she'd never, ever, ever return to hers.

    117

    He spent most of his time anymore in the shadow world, except when forced out by Death or called out by someone who wanted to buy an assassination.

    118

    He steadied her with one hand, and a second later the cool dampness of the shadow world swallowed her.

    119

    He still had the challenge of the mortal world to knock out.

    120

    He thought he saw a flicker of sadness cross her gaze before he crossed into the shadow world.

    121

    He thought the world of Randy.

    122

    He took her home through the shadow world.

    123

    He took in the world with thought.

    124

    He turned and strode away, disappearing into the shadow world.

    125

    He was back at Bird Song and all was right with the world.

    126

    He was cast out of the Immortal world fairly young.

    127

    He was dressed in black but not in SWAT gear, as if he knew nothing in this world could hurt him.

    128

    He was not long for this world, and she was no Jenn-- a woman there for his physical pleasure.

    129

    He was serious about destroying the mortal world.

    130

    He was warm and solid at her back, the only thing capable of grounding her in the nightmare of a world she lived in.

    131

    He went to the only portal that glowed black --the portal to Hell --and stepped from the shadow world into the tiny, dark cell holding his friend.

    132

    He went to the sink and began attacking the pile of dirty dishes as he pondered how they would tell the young girl her world was about to flip upside down.

    133

    He whirled, called for a portal and left his betrayer, his former lover, the woman who had been his world, until she snatched it from him.

    134

    He wondered if Death would.ve been more lenient if he stayed home with her and played nice instead of spending half his day in the mortal world.

    135

    He would.ve been content to stay in his cottage for another hundred years or never again visit the mortal world.

    136

    He.d spent most his life in Hell and remembered little of the Immortal world.

    137

    He'd always hoped Rhyn would have another chance, that Hell was a place to stash the dangerous immortal until the world was ready for him.

    138

    He'd gone away for a few months and returned to an entirely new world.

    139

    He'd hoped she would adjust to his world on her own, never suspecting he'd need to change himself.

    140

    He'd never thought of being locked out of the underworld as an advantage, but the soul Darkyn wanted wasn't likely one of those in the lakes on the mortal world.

    141

    He'd not said anything to her since the other night, when he'd almost destroyed the world.

    142

    He'd saved her brother, her, the world.

    143

    He'd spent the past three nights in bed with another woman after completely destroying her whole world!

    144

    He's building an Army of Souls to attack the human world.

    145

    He's got the whole world in his knapsack.

    146

    Her attention shifted as the world around her continued to register.

    147

    Her conversation with Jenn made the world around her more concrete.

    148

    Her curse was lost as she was sucked into the shadow world.

    149

    Her file --two inches thick --was yet more proof that the world that seemed foreign to her really wasn't.

    150

    Her first instinct was to run back to the shadow world, but she had a hard time looking away from the two hideous creatures battling it out in Hannah.s home.

    151

    Her world is very different, uncle.

    152

    Her world was beginning to spin as she realized her vision had come true.

    153

    Her world was crushing her; she needed to be alone.

    154

    Her world was one of agony and blurred colors.

    155

    Here, the world was shoved in her face.

    156

    His backhand sent her world reeling.

    157

    His brother snapped his mouth closed and extended his hand, pulling Rhyn and Katie with him into the shadow world.

    158

    His crying and shifting distracted her from the strange world around her and made her head pulse, as if he were trying to pry his way into her unwilling mind.

    159

    His magic is limited on the mortal world as well.

    160

    His soul was … lost soon after we threw your old body into the deepest chasm in the mortal world.

    161

    His thoughts wandered to Billy Langstrom's love-widow Melissa, now absent even those precious two commodities with which to face the world.

    162

    His world was one of confusion, his memories overwhelming as the dam that had been in place for thousands of years crumbled.

    163

    How noble of the beast that nearly destroyed the world once!

    164

    Hundreds of thousands of cases were still, of course, in the rest of the world even three decades after Salk's breakthrough.

    165

    I can't get over how incredible the human world is.

    166

    I caught one of the them in the shadow world on his way back to the mortal realm.

    167

    I didn't betray Gabriel to be stuck in the human world, Harmony said.

    168

    I do not know whether the end of the world has come or not.

    169

    I don't remember much of my time before coming to this world, except I was expelled.

    170

    I feel terrible I slipped up and they traced the phone call but it's not the end of the world.

    171

    I figured it out when I rediscovered her in the human world a few years ago.

    172

    I haven't lived for millions of years in your world, but I believe Rhyn here would have to die permanently so his claim on me was nullified.

    173

    I learned what I know of the world from reading in his library, and I learned to fight.

    174

    I mean, I guess there could be two Gabriels in the Immortal world, she said.

    175

    I mean, if you had to choose between me and your world?

    176

    I need to help him save the world from jackasses like you.

    177

    I think most people around the world will seek personal excellence.

    178

    I traveled through the shadow world, which is also how I got you back!

    179

    I was growing to love this town, with its simple history, proud of its old homes and field stone fences, telling the world it was a place worth staying.

    180

    I was introduced to this world a few days before that.

    181

    I wish the whole world were like that!

    182

    I, uh, did something really awful Saturday night, and the whole world has gone insane.

    183

    I.ve sealed off the crypt with magic to keep Immortals from entering through the shadow world, and installed locks for those who wander where they shouldn.t be, Kris said.

    184

    I'm a baby in my world.

    185

    I'm like those reclusive millionaires who own priceless art and won't let the rest of the world see it.

    186

    I'm not going to survive your world for long, Rhyn!

    187

    I'm very certain, Oz, that you gave me the best brains in the world, for I can think with them day and night, when all other brains are fast asleep.

    188

    If a dhjan chooses incorrectly, his world suffers.

    189

    If a dhjan chooses well, his world flourishes.

    190

    If I didn't keep learning how insane this world is every second of the day, I wouldn't have to drink!

    191

    If I saw Katie with another man, there would be nothing left of this world.

    192

    If I'm here, it's not because the world is operating smoothly.

    193

    If only she could shout it to the world.

    194

    If the smallpox and polio successes were achieved in a low-tech world, think how much more we can accomplish with vastly improved tools, infrastructure, and communication.

    195

    If you lied to me about everything so far, why the hell would I trust your word about anything, even saving the world?

    196

    If you satisfy me, I might consider whatever you ask of me, but I will never willingly spare your world.

    197

    If, at the end of those two months, I haven't fixed things, you'll go back to your world.

    198

    In 1958, with smallpox still killing two million people a year, the World Health Organization pledged to eradicate it.

    199

    In between her interactions with people and the spotlight, she watched the world with worry and thoughtfulness.

    200

    In fact, the normal world --while comforting --seemed a bit boring after her trauma.

    201

    In many parts of the world, we have even outlawed the use of animals fighting as entertainment, such as cockfighting and dogfighting.

    202

    In the meantime, the lost souls were stuck in a lake in the mortal world.

    203

    In the middle of the queen's throne was a low stone box she mistook at first glance to be the world's most uncomfortable lumbar support.

    204

    In the shadow world when you told me about your tumor.

    205

    Initially fearing her to be brittle by her reaction to the world around her, A'Ran was more assured of her ability to withstand the changes in her life.

    206

    Instead of going to see the Immortal leader, Gabriel crossed through the shadow world, squinting as he emerged into the bright mid-morning sunlight.

    207

    It didn't appear to be far, and it was hours before she'd be asleep on her side of the world.

    208

    It doesn't matter what I feel, Rhyn, when I know I don't belong in this world or here with you, and I know without a doubt I won't survive, even if you find some place on another planet to stash me!

    209

    It gets old and I think I've done damn well in this sick world of yours.

    210

    It hangs there, waiting for me to step upon this velvet chair where I sit, tie its far descending end to my neck, and step from this world, freeing it from the guilt and troubles Annie Quincy has caused.

    211

    It happened the first time Darkyn invaded the mortal world from Hell.

    212

    It is the ultimate manifestation of the marketplace of ideas; the more people who proffer their ideas to the world, the better the outcome will be for us all.

    213

    It might be all that stood between the Dark One and the human world.

    214

    It should be noted that the Byzantines were among the most civilized people in all the world at that time.

    215

    It was 1900, and the happy couple were the only people in the world.

    216

    It was almost morning on this side of the world.

    217

    It was bedtime on her side of the world, but dawn was breaking the sky outside her windows.

    218

    It was dark, the spinning world lit by the kitchen and hallway light.

    219

    It was daylight here, and he instinctively assessed it was still Sunday on this side of the world.

    220

    It was different than the other portals; there were no doors visible through this one, just a hole in the world.

    221

    It was his favorite memory, that which preceded his abrupt knowledge of war and the world at large.

    222

    It was Jake Weller, sounding annoyed at the world.

    223

    It was midmorning on this side of the world, and Rhyn squinted up at the sky.

    224

    It was nighttime on this side of the world, and the sky was clear.

    225

    It was the most incredible food in the world, much better than omelets.

    226

    It was the night he provoked her and forced her to say the words that brought her world crashing down.

    227

    It will become all that stands between your mate and the human world.

    228

    It's my responsibility to monitor and deter them in the mortal world, Rhyn said.

    229

    It's not safe in the human world for you now.

    230

    It's time I kick that Westlake fellow off my computer so's I can post my bargains for the world to see.

    232

    Jule had shattered her carefully built world in a day, and he'd done it without the brutal lessons her father resorted to.

    233

    Just remember, we can't solve all of the world's problems.

    234

    Katie clenched her jaw, realizing just how sugar-coated the Immortals. world around her would look to her sister.

    235

    Katie didn't reply, gaping at a woman in her sixties with enough diamonds to reverse world hunger.

    236

    Katie emerged from the shadow world with her heart pounding.

    237

    Katie had never been so relieved to feel the chill of the shadow world!

    238

    Katie watched the world go by as they drove, half-listening to Hannah's chatter.

    239

    Kiera looked at her friend, guilty for hurting her feelings despite her need to return to her own world.

    240

    Kiera would figure things out soon, especially once Evelyn got her into this new world and its customs.

    241

    Kris gave no explanation, simply strode into the shadow world.

    242

    Kris had managed to create a barrier around the chamber to keep Immortals from trespassing via the shadow world.

    243

    Kris traveled via shortcuts through the shadow world as Gabriel did and willed himself to the in-between world.

    244

    Kris willed himself to the shadow world and walked back to his underground refuge, heart heavy.

    245

    Let's cut out this spy stuff and talk about the real world.

    246

    Lost to him already, Deidre sank into his world, not caring if it was the last night of her life, if she spent it with him.

    247

    Maybe he wasn't as perfect to the world as he was in her eyes.

    248

    Maybe this was the push she needed to take that final step, the one that'd take her out of this world completely.

    249

    Mine is a very brutal world, he said.

    250

    Most importantly, he.d protect Katie by building a world that was safe for her and watching over her from a distance.

    251

    My circumstances are without solution and his life would be ruined if the world were to know the truth of our love.

    252

    My dear half-brother Erik went into hiding and hasn't been seen in weeks, leaving his part of the world completely exposed.

    253

    My part of the world is quiet.

    254

    My world is very different, she said, brow furrowing.

    255

    Nishani took the hands of his youngest sister, Talal, and began to speak, animated compared to the serene women of his world.

    256

    No longer able to register the world around her, she walked numbly towards the first trail she saw.

    257

    No part of her would let Darkyn hurt her world.

    258

    No woman would ever be more than second to a man like that, but being the woman who was second in his world sounded better than anything else she'd ever wanted.

    259

    No, a different world completely, but similar in that it has a sun, moon, oceans, grass, and stuff.

    260

    No. But mortals shouldn't travel through the shadow world.

    261

    Not accustomed to the rules of this world?

    262

    Not as severe as traveling through the shadow world, but close.

    263

    Nothing yet in the Immortal world had been as easy as this bargain.

    264

    Now he's gone and exposed himself to the world.

    265

    Now the world has one less fool!

    266

    Obviously too long under his keep to know what to do with herself in the real world?

    267

    Of all the Immortals and creatures in the world, she felt even closer to the outcast that was her mate.

    268

    One of the portals glowed in response, and he strode through it, stepping into a world as sunny as Gabriel.s was dark.

    269

    One who would like us divided so he can take over our world.

    270

    Opening her eyes, she saw the dreaded shadow world waiting for her.

    271

    Ouray, he told them, was unique in the world.

    272

    Pocketing the vial, he willed himself to the shadow world, the place between worlds.

    273

    Pretty sure those are both in the um, mortal … world, Deidre said.

    274

    Rhyn opened the portal to the shadow world and walked through the damp fog to the forest outside the castle.

    275

    Rhyn twisted his head away with a warning growl, and the world crashed down on her.

    276

    Rhyn waited until the healer passed him and then stepped into the shadow world behind him.

    277

    Rhyn was all she would take away from the twisted Immortal world.

    278

    Rhyn's been the only man to take care of me in this godforsaken world.

    279

    Right about now, she'd be happy to see Kris and would even risk going to the shadow world!

    280

    Romas's world wasn't that bad, and Evelyn might help her get home in due time.

    281

    Saunter home as if I'd all the time in the world?

    282

    Scared, Deidre slid on her sandals and walked into the cold, clammy shadow world.

    283

    Second, as technology advances, it will make things in the physical world fall in price.

    284

    Seeing Gabriel made her insides flutter and the world seem too small to be anywhere but his arms.

    285

    She began to marvel at the world around her again, something she hadn't done in days.

    286

    She changed out of her familiar clothing into the dress that matched the black world around her.

    287

    She could help Gabriel and the souls, even if her whole world crashed at the end of the week.

    288

    She could think of only one thing that would turn her into one of the cookie-cutter women of this world, and she refused to be brainwashed.

    289

    She couldn't help but feel grateful he was there; she didn't want to know what other creatures lived in the darkness of her world.

    290

    She crossed the shadow world to the glowing portal that would take her where she wanted to go.

    291

    She crossed to a stall and closed the door, focusing on a portal to the shadow world.

    292

    She did a few more breathing exercises until she felt ready to step outside her room to face the new world.

    293

    She didn.t understand much of the Immortal world, but she knew Death always won.

    294

    She didn't know what he was, and she had a feeling he'd welcomed her into a world that belonged solely to him.

    295

    She didn't like to think of how violent the man in control of a world always at war could be.

    296

    She didn't recognize the voice, but she saw the shadow world.

    297

    She didn't understand the rules of this world well enough to know if she were jumping the gun, but what she heard made her very uncomfortable.

    298

    She doesn't understand the human world yet.

    299

    She envisioned Kris.s chamber on one of the upper floors and emerged from the shadow world into the chamber.

    300

    She forced herself to withdraw from the surreal world and let herself go numb.

    301

    She had many more questions, but the more she asked, the less she could deny the world around her was real.

    302

    She had the same strange sense she did when she first met Gabriel, that he wasn't fully part of this world.

    303

    She hadn't felt like she belonged in this world until she'd seen what good she could do.

    304

    She kicked and fought, unable to escape his grip when the cold in-between world swallowed her.

    305

    She left him alone in the dark with his thoughts, and he began to understand more how his friend Rhyn felt in a world that was pitted against him.

    306

    She left, stopping in the shadow world to try to calm herself.

    307

    She looked down and crossed her arms, chilled in the shadow world but also uncertain what to expect.

    308

    She looked him over, silently dismissing any notion that this creature spent much time in the mortal world.

    309

    She might not be on her street or even in her neighborhood or city, but it certainly looked like she was back in her world.

    310

    She nodded and accepted Evelyn's far-fetched explanations just as she might nod and temporarily accept the equally unreal world of Star Wars.

    311

    She opened her eyes and froze, recognizing the shadow world.

    312

    She regarded the world as a chessboard.

    313

    She released her breath, satisfied on more than one level, to postpone her return to the human world.

    314

    She rolled her eyes at him and marched into the shadow world, fed up with all the deities in her life.

    315

    She said nothing, the world too surreal for her, and turned her head away as he dipped his head.

    316

    She sat at the edge of the bed and touched Toby.s soft face, not sure what to do or think about anything anymore, especially now that Hannah had been dragged into this world.

    317

    She saw someone waiting for her in the center of the in-between world and recognized Rhyn.

    318

    She seemed to have dropped any form of common sense somewhere between Hell and her world.

    319

    She selected a few items, enough to get her through a few days in the new world.

    320

    She sensed danger and promise from the freaky guy loitering in the shadow world.

    321

    She spent the night waiting for the nightmare world to end and dressed the next morning with an undertaker's solemnity.

    322

    She stepped from the shadow world back into her world and waited for nausea or pain.

    323

    She stepped into the clammy, wet world of fog and darkness, pausing to focus on the portal that would lead to her sister.s house.

    324

    She strode into the shadow world and stopped.

    325

    She wanted Gabriel to be happy but couldn't bear to see it, not when her own world was still so new and frightening.

    326

    She wanted nothing to do with this world or its inhabitants, despite that unexpected, intimate connection with the most beautiful man she'd ever seen.

    327

    She was able to kill and call a portal from the human world.

    328

    She was alone in a world she didn't fit into, and she wanted more than anything to escape.

    329

    She was going to say that the bitter note in her tone was for someone who had betrayed her, but the whole world didn't need to know about their shame.

    330

    She was just as entranced, just as easily pleased by the world.

    331

    She was meant to be his, this he didn't doubt, though he couldn't stop the trickle of unease that warned him she may not be able to adjust to their world as easily as he wished.

    332

    She was numb to most of the world, and the colors of the worlds were muted.

    333

    She was stuck with the creature behind the evil in the world.

    334

    She was surprised she could walk at all and knew a few ounces of blood had been a small price to pay for Lankha's work, which she'd never have gotten for all the money in the world at home.

    335

    She was trying hard to keep her fear away so she could figure out this new world.

    336

    She was untraceable in the shadow world, until she emerged somewhere else.

    337

    She wasn't expecting the intensity of sensations in the human world.

    338

    She watched the cave swallow Rhyn, unsettled by the idea of moving between places via the shadow world.

    339

    She wiped her face again, the world around her spinning.

    340

    She.d emerged from the shadow world into a sitting room.

    341

    She.d never understand a man like Kris, who saw the world only in black and white!

    342

    She'd felt the weird sensations before … Shadow world.

    343

    She'd found her way here through the shadow world.

    344

    She'd learn when she returned to a world she no longer controlled.

    345

    She'd let herself grieve for a day – maybe two – and then fill her world with as much sunshine as possible.

    346

    She'd wanted a second night with him since the first, and the passion of his kiss reminded her of how incredible it was to be the center of his world.

    347

    She'd wanted to return home since she arrived, yet when presented with the enormity of her importance in her new world … when she realized how incredible it really would be to have a man like A'Ran in her bed every night … when she saw he was capable of passion … when she found out an entire planet full of people would die if she left … She couldn't help the tears at such a thought.

    348

    Since I was in kindergarten, the world has kept saying how pretty I am with one breath and how stupid I am with the other.

    349

    Small world, isn't it?

    350

    So, she hovered in the quiet darkness for a while, until the sounds of the outside world were too loud for her to ignore.

    351

    Sofi had told him when he dumped her in the divine world.

    352

    Someone's gotta help save the world.

    353

    Sometimes, a night in the underworld was equal to seconds in the mortal world, sometimes a night and sometimes, a few nights.

    354

    Sometimes, he thought there was none of the human left at all, just an incarnated goddess whose fascination with her new world extended to him.

    355

    Soul radars are still broken, but we can at least travel to the mortal world.

    356

    Suddenly, the shadow world released her.

    357

    Sunny was black and white, just like the rest of Dusty's world.

    358

    Sure, they made a dumb mistake, but it's not the end of the world.

    359

    Talk about out of this world!

    360

    Teams of scientists in different parts of the world can collaborate virtually.

    361

    Tell the world to slow down, David.

    362

    That he came from the mortal world rather than the Immortal one had left a taint on him that no amount of success could get rid of.

    363

    That may be the only good thing that comes of returning you to the mortal world.

    364

    That's the oldest line in the world.

    365

    The ancient world was a cruel place.

    366

    The black diamond expert trails were for the Donald Rylands of the world.

    367

    The chill of the shadow world made her shiver.

    368

    The clingy cold of the shadow world disappeared, and she was left standing in the middle of her apartment.

    369

    The Code had always been his foundation in a world that adopted him despite his origins.

    370

    The colors of the mortal world were brilliant, the light in her bedchamber blinding her.

    371

    The consuming need to drink from him swept through her mind, dulling the rest of the world.

    372

    The Deans just smiled, pleased at sharing part of their beautiful world.

    373

    The Deidres were lured into the shadow world and ambushed by death dealers.

    374

    The demons he sent to the mortal world failed.

    375

    The forest and darkness created a sense of cozy intimacy, one that held her without crushing her, unlike the rest of the world.

    376

    The Fred O'Connor Cyber Cafe was unplugged from electronic connection to the world at large, as the old gentleman was taking his sweet time moving his belongings downstairs.

    377

    The ground beneath them shook, and suddenly, the world slowed and fell quiet.

    378

    The healers moved to the other side of the Immortal world, past Elisia and closer to Hell.

    379

    The idea of bringing a new life into such a horrific world made her feel sick.

    380

    The Lake of Souls is much larger than any lake on the mortal world.

    381

    The last part of her world shattered with Wynn's confession.

    382

    The lush Scottish Highlands around him were covered in a blanket of snow that stretched for miles, the white world interrupted only by a few narrow roads snaking in different directions.

    383

    The moment the shadow world cleared from her sight, she wanted to run.

    384

    The new world seemed less scary in daylight.

    385

    The next time I visit the human world, I.ll be leaving with two souls.

    386

    The next time I visit the human world, I'll be leaving with two souls.

    387

    The notion of scarcity is so ingrained in us and so permeates the world today, it is difficult to imagine a world without it.

    388

    The only two people she cared about in this godforsaken world were both fighting for their lives.

    389

    The other half of his face was stuck in the shadows, giving him a surreal appearance, as if he had one foot in a different world.

    390

    The Others cannot be allowed into your world.

    391

    The outside world distracted her from her troubled thoughts.

    392

    The part of you that makes him forget how grey his world is.

    393

    The pod dropped fast toward the surface, the sight of the spinning world beneath her sickening.

    394

    The result of a deity breaking one of the three is basically the destruction of the world.

    395

    The scary, confusing world she.d entered weeks before crystallized and grew clear as she watched the lethal battle.

    396

    The sense he wasn't wholly of this world returned.

    397

    The shadow world appeared hazily around her.

    398

    The shadow world swallowed her in its fog.

    399

    The slow motion world around them snapped into real time, throwing them against a wall.

    400

    The strange Immortal world was so unwelcoming.

    401

    The time on her phone was the same as when they'd entered this strange world.

    402

    The time would be near sunrise later in the year, but now the night and his world was as dark as midnight.

    403

    The underground world was well built and bright with whitewashed walls lining corridors wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

    404

    The words fell from my lips as softly as the tears from my eyes, I so wished the world could know of the love I hold for you.

    405

    The world and its people will take time to heal.

    406

    The world around her was dark around its edges.

    407

    The world around her was real.

    408

    The world around them stopped-- literally.

    409

    The world continued in its delayed movement, and they turned to watch the battling duo.

    410

    The world dumped her on top of a pile of sand near the boardwalk with the angry black sea roaring behind her.

    411

    The world exploded into life, sucking the air from her lungs and drenching her.

    412

    The world faded into shadow and light then into an uncomfortable darkness, not quite sleep but not consciousness either.

    413

    The world is becoming more educated at an amazing rate.

    414

    The world needed a man focused on maintaining the balance between good and evil, and none of the brothers had

    415

    The world needs him, she said.

    416

    The world outside her was calm, but the storm within her brewed.

    417

    The world was becoming more real as the days passed.

    418

    The world was dark as always, cramped, his skin hot and clammy.

    419

    The world was dead.

    420

    The world was flooded in some areas and on fire in others with still other parts blanketed in outright war.

    421

    The world was turning at Mach speed and Dean felt himself racing along with the uninformed, totally out of control.

    422

    The world will come to an end if he does.

    423

    The world's our atlas if we have the guts to flip a coin and take a chance.

    424

    Their world was far from perfect, but they were handling it together, as a team.

    425

    There are a lot of good people in the world.

    426

    There was enough room for her to raise her arms but not sit, and she leaned against the uncomfortable wall, gazing at the world spinning outside her pod.

    427

    There was no other way for her to imagine the night, aside from as otherworldly as her new world.

    428

    There was no room for traitors in his ranks, not with his critical mission on the human world and his own mate within striking distance.

    429

    There was no way of knowing whose souls had crossed over to the mortal world, but he was going to trust that Fate was on his side, for the time being.

    430

    There was something about A'Ran that flipped her world on end.

    431

    There was the customary group of tourists with names like Bud and Ethel and Elmer and Clara— names not assigned to anyone born after World War II.

    432

    There were a lot of tourists in town, probably for the autumn equinox, which drew people from around the world every year.

    433

    There were only two men in the world he'd entrust with his life.

    434

    There's a world of good you could perform.

    435

    They are way too comfortable in the mortal world right now.

    436

    They caught me when I went through the shadow world and brought me here, to Sasha.

    437

    They emerged from the shadow world and stood on a narrow, winding road.

    438

    They got wind there might be someone out there in the nether world with incredible abilities they could commandeer.

    439

    They wouldn't destroy their world any more than you would.

    440

    They'd always said he was a danger to the human world because of this.

    441

    They'd been there what felt like a day, and yet the sun was in the same position as when they'd been thrown into the world.

    442

    They've been attacking schools all over the world.

    443

    This was the most perfect place in the world.

    444

    This was where she'd met him, the man who rocked her world.

    445

    This world … their world … was nothing like what she knew.

    446

    This world had been all she knew three weeks ago.

    447

    This world was real.

    448

    This world will gradually come to us.

    449

    Time passed differently in the underworld than the mortal world.

    450

    To appreciate, one had to feel, and those born deities were somehow numbed to the world.

    451

    Today, there are modern-day Da Vincis living in parts of the world where just surviving is a full-time occupation, powerless to develop the gifts they could offer the wider world.

    452

    Tomorrow, this world will be destroyed if one—or both—of us don't step up.

    453

    Uneasy, he also realized he had to focus on mopping up the rest of his mess in the mortal world, so he could start to address the underworld.

    454

    Vaguely, she was aware of the cool shadow world followed by the warmth of indoors.

    455

    Was it possible for such a connection to be stronger than her bond to her own world?

    456

    Was that the plan of the betrayer of humanity, to use her to destroy the world?

    457

    Was that why Gabriel promised her the world if she survived the operation?

    458

    Was this why humans were so ensnared by their world and their minds so limited?

    459

    We had world war three over it.

    460

    We have a natural desire to make beautiful things and a bone-deep need to understand the world we live in and our place in it.

    461

    We have built for this world a family mansion, and for the next a family tomb.

    462

    We shouldn't take you through the shadow world to return you.

    463

    We were content to allow him this small title of uniqueness knowing it was killing him to be so close to a scientific miracle with hands tied and mouth gagged against announcing his findings to the world.

    464

    What he was in their insulated world in the bedchamber was far removed from what he was outside.

    465

    What is anyone in the world to me?

    466

    What's the world coming to?

    467

    What's this world coming to?

    468

    Whatever she knew of the world, it no longer pertained to her circumstances.

    469

    When she felt the cool touch of the shadow world, she sat up straight.

    470

    When the world narrowed, he released her.

    471

    Whenever she felt overwhelmed from her oncoming death or the doctors' news, she ran to her room until she was strong enough to face the world again.

    472

    While he could see her figuring it out, he couldn't see her choosing the mortal world.

    473

    While he wanted to avoid further involvement in Edith Shipton's troubled world, he felt proud of his wife inherent sense of compassion toward anyone in trouble.

    474

    While she didn't yet understand the depths of her new world, she found peace in knowing this was indeed her world, too.

    475

    Why would they admit the tips come from the nether world?

    476

    With a whoop, she twirled in the middle of the shadow world.

    477

    Without a word, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the world of ecstasy they called their bedroom.

    478

    Without Katie, Jade.s world would be perfect.

    479

    Without one, she had existed in a state of sentience without feeling, a world of permanent grey.

    480

    Witnessing the gaping hole to the shadow world form in the middle of the real world was unsettling.

    481

    World class vistas, trickling silver rivers of high snow melt-off, sky as blue as a queen's velvet robe, and the green and grey of forest and rock towering in every direction—all went unseen.

    482

    Yet as the world began to open beyond her little circle, she realized that he had been open about his interest all along.

    483
