The Demon's Lexicon/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alan Ryves in The Demon's Lexicon revealing that most of the events of the book were part of his Plan to get his brother Nick into a summoning circle and set him free. Alan, you Magnificent Bastard!
    • And a few minutes before that, he caused a room full of magicians to practically piss their pants by plunging them all in darkness and slowly killing them off, one by one,despite being barely able to run. He does this all by himself even when Jamie and Mae were held hostage, Nick trapped in a barrier, and his own wrists tied up. Badass Bookworm indeed!
    • Nick: (to Arthur when he gloats about how no one can stop him)You don't know my brother.
  • Jamie, after spending most of The Demon's Covenant looking like he's going succumb to Gerald's attempts to turn him to the dark side: "There's something you never understood, Gerald. You never had a chance."
    • And then, after Gerald loses it and starts charging magic like there's no tomorrow, vowing to take Jamie with him by force, non-magic Mae sets out to save him with nothing but a knife. Before she can attack him and almost certainly get herself killed, their mum Annabel appears and smacks Gerald on the back of the head with a golf club, saying: "Get away from my son." Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming as it came within ten minutes of Annabel freaking out and driving off when Jamie revealed his magical powers to her.

Jamie: Mum is kind of badass.

  • When Alan's leg was healed for a while, he and Nick were doing classic back-to-back badass!
