Welcome to Snippet Sunday. This is a snippet from Soul Taker.
If you missed the last weeks snippet, here’s the link. :): Chapter 1 #2
Set up:
MacLaurin is a Grim Sith, created by a Baobhan Sith, one of the most vicious vampires in Scotland. MacLaurin has returned to Boston to govern the territory and he expects his rules to be obeyed.
Sanya had hoped the rumors of MacLaurin’s return were false. Tonight, told her otherwise. This scene is in her POV.
This snippet takes place a few paragraphs later from last week’s snippet.

*******************************************************************************
She rounded the corner and skidded to a stop, panic rioting through her veins. The sanctimonious jerk knew she’d been at the bar after all since he stood there with his arms folded against his chest and leaning against the brick building in a nonchalant manner.
Her tongue slipped out, licking her suddenly dry lips. “I didn’t know you were in town,” she lied, trying to bide some time. She took a step back, fighting the urge to run; fleeing would give MacLaurin all the more reason to chase her. It was all about the hunt with predators. Something she understood all too well, being she was a vampire, too.
“I may have believed ye, darlin’, if ye hadn’t slinked out the back door of Tony’s Pub.”

Garran seems determined to have that chat with Sanya. Don’t you wonder why she’s so determined to avoid him?

Ooops…she thought she could escape. What will he do now? Great 8.
Sarah C,
Silly vampire. lol
Busted! 😀
I do want to know why she wants to avoid him, almost as much as I want to know what he has to say.
Sarah W,
I’m so glad you’re intrigued. 🙂
Oups, it’s going to be hard to get out of this.
Good snippet, Karen. There’s no getting anything past him! Congrats on The Rone finalist! It’s a nice looking award up there. 🙂
Teresa,
Thanks for the congrats. So thrilled! I do love the way the award looks sitting next to my title. 🙂
Oops! Rumbled. And she isn’t fooling him either!
Botanist,
Nope, she sure isn’t.
Oh dear, wonder how this is going to pan out!
Gemma,
Probably not well, but if you’re interested pop on by next week 🙂
Darn, hate it when a plan fails but the ensuing conversation should be very interesting! Great snippet!
Uh-oh. Two predator stand-off. Looking forward to next week.
Uh oh… busted! Very nice…
I think she picked the wrong thing to say…
P.T.,
lol- I say so.
Question is, what does he want with her?
Sue Ann,
We shall see. 🙂
Tense. She thinks badly of him, but I wonder if she’s wrong? He’s determined to talk to her.
Elaine,
It may all depend on how she responds to his questions. Sanya has been a very bad vamp as you will soon find out. 🙂
Eep! Busted. 😀 Great snippet, Karen.
Siobhan,
Thanks so much. 🙂
