Snippet Sunday: “Don’t Blink!” The Gryphon & His Thief @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday

by Karen Michelle Nutt

Welcome to Snippet Sunday. I thought I’d change it up a little this week. I have a new release! So this is a snippet from The Gryphon and His Thief.

If you missed the last weeks snippet from Soul Taker, here’s the link. :) Chapter 1 #14 

Set up: Calli Angelis broke into the Museum of Cursed Antiquities to steal Hecate’s Stone. With the item in her hand she’s making her way out of the museum to only come up short when a statue once positioned in the back room is now blocking the front door to freedom.

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

“Get a grip,” she warned herself. The Gryphon didn’t blink his eyes. Yep, and it didn’t fly from the back room and station itself at the door either. She gulped and leveled the beam of the flashlight on the statue once more. Only what stood there now was a man, a large man with dark hair and eyes… that glowed like the Gryphon’s eyes had.

“You cannot take the item from the museum,” the man’s voice boomed low and with authority meant to intimidate, his words flavored with a Greek accent. “You must return it immediately,” he finished the threat. Sure there had been no threat voiced, but she all but heard the ‘or else’.

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

 Will Calli escape with the stone…and her life?

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek at the Gryphon and His Thief.

Thanks for stopping by!

Some Treasures are Priceless…

A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.

Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate’s Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.

As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.

  1. Reincarnation, stone gryphons, and a museum of cursed stuff?

    I’m so there, Karen!

    (You know you’re one of the reasons my TBR list is so darned long, right?)

  13. Great snippet–I want to read more and I can hear the “or else,” too, even though it wasn’t said.
