Snippet Sunday: Free at last… Soul Taker @KMNbooks @RebeccaJVickery #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday

Labor Day Border graphicWelcome to Snippet Sunday. This is a snippet from Soul Taker.

If you missed the last weeks snippet, here’s the link. :) Chapter 1 #10 

Set up:
Sanya has been staked, but vampires don’t perish from such a wound. They are only paralyzed, but can still communicate. Garran just asked Sanya to spy on the ‘Soul Taker’.

This snippet takes place a few sentences later from last week’s snippet.

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

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

“I can do that.” Really, was she in any position to say otherwise?

“Oh, come on Garran, you don’t actually believe her,” Harrison Connell spoke up.

“Why don’t you keep quiet, Irish dog,” Sanya hissed.

“You will mind yer manners, Sanya,” Garran told her. “Let me warn ye if ye double cross me, havin’ a stake through yer heart will seem like a holiday.”

“I wouldn’t double cross you.”

He pulled out the stake and she inhaled, the pain causing her to grip his arms.

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

Sanya was set free. Hopefully, she’ll keep her word and report back to Garran about the Soul Taker’s next moves. 

Thanks for stopping by!

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.

  1. Sanya should definitely keep her word. I can only imagine what Garran would do otherwise. Love the dialect in the dialogue. Perfect snippet! 😀

  5. Maybe they should have discussed their relative definitions of “double-cross” before he unstaked her? 🙂

    Great as always, Karen!

  7. I think Garran’s threat is something to be taken seriously 🙂

    Hmmm…this whole exchange had me wondering how it feels to Sanya to have a stake through her. You mention pain right at the end, but was that only when he withdrew the stake or was it present throughout? If so, a reference or two along the way would be a good reminder. As it stands, throughout the dialogue I got the impression that it was not painful but more inconvenient, like being held in a straitjacket.
