Like Starfish Quote by Cassandra Clare
““He was already turning to raise his sword against a spiny-looking creature with nubbly, stony skin like a starfish. 'He thought of Ty on the beach with the starfish in his hand, smiling. It filled him with rage- he hadn't realized before how much demons seemed like the beautiful things of the world had been warped and sickened and made revolting.””
