| 1 | * Alan Ryves in ''The Demon's Lexicon'' revealing that [[spoiler:most of the events of the book were part of his {{plan}} to get his brother Nick into a summoning circle, solely for the purpose of setting him free in such a way that no one will be able to bind him again]]. |
| 2 | ** A few minutes before that, he caused [[spoiler:a room full of magicians to practically piss their pants by plunging them all in darkness and slowly killing them off, one by one,]][[HandicappedBadass despite being barely able to run]]. He does this all by himself even when [[spoiler:Jamie and Mae were held hostage, Nick trapped in a barrier, and his own wrists tied up]]. BadassBookworm indeed! |
| 3 | ** Black Arthur gloats about how no one can stop him. Nick's not buying: |
| 4 | -->'''Nick''': [[UnderestimatingBadassery You don't know my brother.]] |
| 5 | * Jamie, after spending most of ''The Demon's Covenant'' looking like he's going succumb to Gerald's attempts to [[FaceHeelTurn turn him to the dark side]]: "There's something you never understood, Gerald. You never had a ''chance''." |
| 6 | ** And then, after Gerald loses it and starts charging magic like there's no tomorrow, vowing to take Jamie with him by force, [[BadassNormal non-magic]] Mae sets out to save him with nothing but a knife. [[spoiler: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: "[[MamaBear Get away from my son]]."]] Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} as [[spoiler:it came within ten minutes of Annabel freaking out and driving off when Jamie revealed his magical powers to her]]. |
| 7 | -->'''Jamie:''' Mum is kind of badass. |
| 8 | * When [[spoiler: Alan's leg was healed for a while, he and Nick were doing classic back-to-back badass!]] |
| 9 | * Mae in ''The Demon's Surrender'' in general; as Sin notes, Mae is someone who knows how to organize and make plans. Her big move in the book, [[spoiler: pretending that the Demon's Mark on a magician gave the magician control of the demon, turns out to be a gambit on par with Alan's in the first book. It allows the Market to take over the magicians' circle and completely dismantle it.]] This is after she uses her smarts and the few resources she has to [[spoiler: avenge her mother's death.]] |
| 10 | * Nick's duel with Helen on the Millennium Bridge, some of the most visceral writing in the series with two very skilled knife fighters going at each other with everything they've got. |
