"He made it a question." She uses it all the goddamn time, and I want to scream "THE QUESTION MARK MADE IT A QUESTION, YOU STUPID COW!" This has been bothering me far longer than the books themselves have.
Also, "go" instead of "come", because what the hell is that about?
And that thing about "he looked at me the way a man looks at a woman when he knows she'll do anything he wants" and variations of same. You can get away with that one time, missy, but not in every goddamn book. It stops sounding like it means anything after that. Plus, different men give you different looks. Some of them - no doubt some of the men Anita is doing - give you incredulous looks.
Oh, and "my blood looks the same on white marble as on black". Wrong, dumbass. Your blood would be a lot more striking on the white marble, because it's WHITE.
