--> '''Karrin:''' “Oh,” she breathed. Her blue eyes glittered. “[[RagingStiffie That]].” She tilted her head. “That was . . . was me?” --> '''Harry''' “That was you. Seems fair. It was your bed.”

--> '''Karrin:''' Oh. [[RagingStiffie That]] was for me then?

* The fact that, at the end of the book, after the past three books [[TraumaCongaLine have nearly killed him, destroyed his home, and killed Susan]], Harry's life is finally starting to look up. He has money now (more than he's ever had), he's connecting with his daughter, he might start dating Murphy...things are starting to get ''better'' for him.

* The fact that, at the end of the book, after the past three books [[TraumaCongaLine have nearly killed him, destroyed his home, and killed Susan]], his life is finally starting to look up. He has money now (More than he's possibly ever had), he's connecting with his daughter, he might start dating Murphy, things are starting to get better for him.

** The best part is that Harry didn't know how much Gray would charge him until the very end. Shows that, While Grey has done some ''terrible'' things, he might not be a terrible ''person.''

He has money now (More than he's possibly ever had), he's connecting with his daughter, he might start dating Murphy, things are starting to get better for him.

* The fact that, at the end of the book, after the past five books [[HumiliationConga have nearly completely broken him]], his life is finally starting to look up. He has money now (More than he's possibly ever had), he's connecting with his daughter, he might start dating Murphy, things are starting to get better for him.

* You don't realize it until later, but at one point, Harry accidentally makes Michael think that he and Molly slept together, and doesn't realize that's what he's done. The fact that Michael, though uncomfortable, accepts this and still has the amount of faith in Harry that he does is incredible.

* In what is possibly the ''oddest'' one of these in the series, when they [[spoiler: need a live sacrifice to get through the Gate of Blood, none other than Deidre willingly goes beneath her father's knife.]] And it's clear that this hurts them both horribly, in what is one of the few times anyone of them shows honest and genuine emotion.

* Harry's reunion with Mister, who can't get enough of his long-lost friend's ear-scratches.

* The conversation between Harry and Hades. Hades literally slows down time to give Harry some advice, point out how they are both decent people despite public opinion of them and their jobs and to wish him luck defeating Nicodemus.

* Throughout the book, Michael's absolute faith that Harry is not a monster and is not becoming a monster.

** And it comes right after a BigDamnKiss!!

** "Do you want to be my Dad?" possibly the Crowning example for the entire series.

** That ''entire scene'', from the moment Maggie and Harry lay eyes on each other. Maggie is adorable, and it's also funny seeing Harry not quite be sure how seriously to take things that she says.

* Uriel loaning his Grace to Michael is possibly the biggest show of faith in the series so far. He had faith that Michael would use it appropriately, faith that Harry and Michael would make it ''worth'' risking death, or Falling. And it paid off.

* Gray at the end. He turns down his fifth of the diamonds, insisting that he merely needs to settle his debt with Harry. His price? A dollar. He basically did the whole thing ''pro bono'', turning down millions.

Yeah. Animal desires.
