Welcome to Snippet Sunday. This is a snippet from Soul Taker.
If you missed the last weeks snippet, here’s the link. Chapter 1 #11
Set up:
Sanya is free… well sort of. She must spy on the ‘Soul Taker’, but first Garran gives her a stern warning.
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.
***********************************************************
She glared at him, wishing her gaze could burst him into flames. She saw the trick once in a movie, and she really wished it were a true talent she could learn.
Regaining most of her strength, she pushed him away and scrambled out of the van. She straightened her dress that had risen up her thighs.
“No more human attacks,” Garran warned, “Ye’ll go back to the pig’s blood.”
“I’ll be shaky for days and look like a junkie.”
Garran’s gaze raked over her, and said, “Ye already look the part with the slip ye have on that’s doin’ a piss poor job of masqueradin’ as a dress.”
She hissed baring her fangs.
***********************************************************
Sanya is on her way. Hopefully, she heeds Garran’s warning.
Thanks for stopping by!

I just laughed so hard I startled the cat. 🙂
I adore Sanya, even though I know it’s a really bad idea. She’s just always so . . . herself.
And she’s absolutely no match for Garran. At all. 😀
Sarah W,
Poor kitty. lol
Sanya is definitely no match for Garran. 🙂
Spunky gal. You’ve nailed her personality in the face of danger.
Charmaine,
Spunky, but definitely looks out for number one. lol
Ooh, he doesn’t mince words much, does he? I don’t think she has much choice though, at this point. Enjoyed the excerpt – these characters feel so real to me!
Veronica,
Thank yo so much, Veronica. I’m glad they do.
Love Garran’s response. Sympathetic much 🙂
Botanist,
Sympathetic much… nope is right. lol
Love his comment on her dress.
Thanks Sue!
Not a nice thing to say, but maybe accurate. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
Siobhan,
So true on both accounts. These two have history and obviously not a very good one. lol
Haha! She saw the trick in a movie. Too funny! Great snippet. Nice brogue. 🙂
Teresa,
I’m glad you liked that reference. 🙂
Love your opening line ‘She glared at him, wishing her gaze could burst him into flames.’ 🙂
