Snippet Sunday: Staked and Still Standing… Soul Taker @KMNbooks @RebeccaJVickery #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday

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 #5

Set up:
Garran MacLaurin has returned to Boston to govern the territory of Otherworldy beings and he expects his rules to be obeyed. He’s cornered Sanya who has been breaking rules set for Otherworldly beings. He’s staked her through the heart, but the unexpected happens…

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

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

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

She had heard rumors he would seduce his victims, not unlike what she would do to a human, but she wasn’t human and hadn’t been one since the Spanish Inquisition had its first auto-da-fé held in Seville in 1481. Sanya was older than Garran and should be able to take him, but his determination to follow his creed of right and wrong proved stronger.She could withstand most attacks and heal. Vampires from every sept were virtually immortal unless beheaded or stabbed through the heart. Garran’s hands bit into her arms, pinning them to the side. She waited, expecting to explode into dust as legend claimed. “What’s happening?” she stammered, fear gripping her insides.

MacLaurin brushed aside a strand of hair from her face and said, “Ye didn’t believe a stake would actually kill ye, did ye?”

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

Sanya is staked, but not dead. Is Garran just making a point, be good or else?

Stop by next week for snippet #7 from my Urban Fantasy tale, SOUL TAKER.

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.

  2. Now there’s a turn up for the books! So those stakes I’ve been keeping nice’n’sharp by my bed were no use after all? 🙂

    It does beg the question, though, why did he stake her if not to kill her? It can’t be good, whatever it is!

  4. I like my steak medium well, thanks and that’s from the heart not through the heart. Wow to this terrific snippet. And scary. Are you a gentle soul or just wicked, Karen?

    1. Charmaine,
      You’re too funny. I’d take my ‘steak’ well done. lol
      As for am I a gentle soul or a wicked one? Maybe just a little of both when it comes to fleshing out my characters. hee hee

  11. Intense! I’m with Sue Ann–is a deal about the type of wood, or the intent… Has me asking questions, Karen. Ad that’s a good thing. 🙂
