Welcome to Snippet Sunday. This is a snippet from Soul Taker.
If you missed the last weeks snippet, here’s the link. 
Chapter 1 #12
Set up:
Sanya has agreed to spy on the Soul Taker and keep tabs on him… or so Garran hopes. Harrison and Garran discuss if Sanya will remain loyal…
***********************************************************
Garran waited until the beautiful Latino sashayed out of sight. He found it difficult to believe he’d once thought the selfish beauty was his soul mate. He glanced at Harrison who stood there with a hand on his hip and shaking his head. “Don’t say it, Harrison,” he warned him.
“I don’t have to. That woman will double cross you, to be sure.”
“Aye, but she’s the only one who has gotten close to the fiend who calls me kin. We need her to smoke him out so we can clean up the mess Franco didn’t.”
***********************************************************
What was Garran thinking? He thought Sanya was his soul mate? lol He may have been really…really…really… lonely to believe that. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!

Interesting turn. nice snippet, look forward to the next bit.
Elsa,
I’m so glad you’re intrigued.
SOULMATE?
Sanya?!
Whoa.
You’ve just opened up so many more possibilities, Karen. Because, what if, maybe, possibly, because the universe is a Very Strange Place . . . he’s right?
Mind. Blown. (But gleeful!)
Have you ever dated someone who was sooooo very wrong for you? lol Trust me his lack of judgement will come back to to haunt him. lol
“Sashayed?”
Excellent choice of verbs.
I thought only Southern belles did that. Love the imagery.
Now, about that character telling the other dude how he wanted to use the woman.
In the long run, it might work out better, and add to the mystery, if readers discover the plan gradually rather than have it blurted out in advance.
Chip,
But there is so much more to this plan and what happens. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. lol
I like Garran. He’s savvy. 🙂
Another sleepy morning, Karen! I was up until the wee hours, reading Lost In the Mist of Time. I wish I had nothing else to do. 2/3 of the way through. Damned good story. 🙂
Teresa,
Sorry you’re losing sleep, but tickled that you’re enjoying Lost in the Mist of Time!
I like the interaction between the two. You can learn a lot from secondary characters.
Sandra,
Yes, you do. 🙂
Love your voice, Karen and the snippet is definitely terrific.
Charmaine,
Thank yo so much.
Well, GI Joe said “Knowing is half the battle.” At least he’s not counting on her loyalty. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
Siobhan,
Thank you. 🙂
shouldn’t it be “the beautiful LatinA” ? It got me a bit confused because I thought Latino would be a man, but the rest of the snippet is fantastic, well done!
EE,
Regarding Latino: I was told it was acceptable to use Latino when referring to a female since English nouns do not have gender. The Spanish rules governing adjective-noun agreement aren’t used for English usage. 🙂 But thanks for asking. 🙂
Wow! Can I just leave it at that, wow? I love it. Great eight!
Neva,
Thank you so much!!
I want to know more! Great job.
Thanks Allyson,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet.
I like the camaraderie between Garran and Harrison. The dialogue seems very natural.
Those eight are loaded with all kinds of intrigue! 😀
I’m betting this woman will be trouble before it’s over.
Nice piece of prose… I like how you drop information in so naturally.
I’m really enjoying this story. I was a bit thrown at the start of the snippet by the word “Latino” (instead of “Latina”) but a bit of Googling says it’s okay.
I love that Garran expects her to betray him.
Yep, Latino is fine to use. 🙂
Interesting complication.
Sorry for the late post! I had the pleasure of listening to this book from Audible and I absolutely loved it!
And they’ll have a lot of clean up to do.
You have some wonderful word choices (sashayed) that paint a great picture and set an interesting mood. Great snippet!
