Audio_Soul TakerWelcome to Snippet Sunday. This is a snippet from Soul Taker.

If you missed the last weeks snippet, here’s the link. :): Chapter 1 #4

Set up:
Garran MacLaurin has returned to Boston to govern the territory of Otherworldy beings and he expects his rules to be obeyed.

Sanya is still trying to figure a way out of the mess she’s created, but she’s not having much luck.

This snippet takes place a few paragraphs later from last week’s snippet. This snippet has been modified.

***Note: The snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. Warning: There may be some fancy punctuations and long sentences. :)

***********************************************************

He watched over his territory and protected the food source instead of indulging in it. Why couldn’t one of the vampires, who partook in sampling humans now and again, be in charge? Even a demon ruler would be better than MacLaurin.

MacLaurin’s large hand cupped her face, his gaze sliding over her slowly as if memorizing each of her features. She hated to plead, but she didn’t want to go out like this and said, “Please, Garran, you’re one of us.”

“One of us? How charmin’,” he said as his eyebrows rose in mock pretense.

“Sure, you’re a vampire even if you were infected with—”

He put a finger over her lips, silencing her, and she struggled to be free even as his grip tightened.

Oh Sanya, you should learn to keep quiet. lol

No soul is safe…

A vampire from the Grim Sith sept is sucking the souls out of young women from the Boston area, but this sinister crime is far worse than a vampire seeking substance. He’s selling the souls to the highest bidder and it seems business is booming.
A vampire, a werewolf, and a Necromancer are a most unlikely team, but Garran, Harrison, and Isabella plan on putting a kink in the dubbed Soul Taker’s plans. It’s personal now. One of their friends has fallen victim to the Soul Taker’s charms, but to stop him from hurting anyone else, their efforts may involve raising the dead.

  8. I shouldn’t love Sonya’s attitude, but I totally do. 😀

    And I’m going to enjoy watching Garren fix her outlook!

  11. Sounds like her pleading isn’t working, but on the other hand it doesn’t sound like she’s about to be killed out of hand or surely that would have happened by now?

  14. Your characters are great. And the predicament she’s in during this snippet it packed with tension. 🙂 Great job pulling the reader in, Karen! 🙂
