Cuddles Quote by Ilona Andrews
““Whoa’’ . . . Leonard started. Cuddles reared and tossed her head. The vamp slid on the glass and she dragged him left. ‘’Whoa’’ . . . She dragged him right. ‘’Come on!’’ Cuddles kept turning and rearing, her huge body going up and down, jerking the undead to and fro like a cheerleader with a pompom.””
