Welcome to Snippet Sunday.

Enjoy a snippet from last week: Flowers and Fangs, Chapter 4 #5

This week's snippet is another snippet from Flowers and Fangs- Nominated for best New Adult book RONE Award.

Chapter 4. This is in Derek's POV.

Quick update from last week: Derek believes Sloane has been infected by her boyfriend, Tim, and is a vampire too. He's a hunter. He eliminates such threats, but he is hesitating because he knew Sloane in high school, though it's been ten years and she doesn't even recognize him. Also she hasn't revealed she's been changed. He's going for a different approach to find out the truth...  Derek is speaking first.

*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit.:)

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

"I bet your victims fell for your charms, too." He had to keep her talking until backup showed up. He'd made a call the minute she pulled into her driveway to Wade and Axel, and they were on their way here.

"What are you talking about?" she asked and her brows furrowed. "What victims?"

He almost believed her. "Mr. Wilkins, Mrs. Wilkins…Kylie," he named just to gauge her reaction, give him some clue if she knew what was going on with Tim.

"What happened to Tim's family?

"You and your boyfriend ripped their throats out."

All color drained from her face, making her appear more ghostlike than like a potential vampire as she screamed, "Noooo! You're lying,"
*********************************************************************************

What a way to find out your boyfriend's family has been murdered... that is if she didn't already know. What do you think? Is Sloane just a great actress?

Thanks for those who voted for Flowers and Fangs for the InD'tale RONE awards. Just waiting to find out if the book makes it for the next round. Keeping my fingers crossed.

About Flowers and Fangs, "Stake and Dust series, Book II":

(ONLY 99¢)

Derek Hayes and his family are preternatural hunters. Stake and dust is their motto, but Derek has a difficult time accepting his sworn duty when Sloane McBride, his ex-girlfriend from high school, is the one he's been sent to eliminate. Once infected from a Nosferatu bite, there is no turning back. Sloane has been bitten and she will eventually change.

It proves a race against time when Derek puts aside his core beliefs and teams up with Sloane. The Nosferatu wants Sloane for his own, Derek's brothers are hunting her, and every second brings Sloane closer to changing into the very fiend they want to kill.

StakeandDust_Final4 mediumStake and Dust, Book I-  These are stand alone stories.  (ONLY 99¢)

A Lamia, a sea creature worthy of John Keats' prose, teams up with a vampire with serial tendencies. When young promising artists are found dead, the Preternatural Bureau sends Cassandra Hayes to the Hamptons to help a fellow hunter track down this lethal duo. She's only spoken to Mr. Green once on the phone and when she meets him in person, he is not what she expects. His hunting skills are spot on, but there is something the man is hiding, and she's determined to find out what it is despite the attraction developing between them.

Tremayne Graystone, a vampire from one of the oldest septs, is not pleased when he finds a dead hunter left on the doorstep of his pub. He should have never answered the hunter's phone, but someone is trying to frame him and he wants answers. Surely he can masquerade as Mr. Green, the hunter Cassandra is supposed to meet, before she figures out his true identity and stakes him. She's a Hayes, from a long line of vampire hunters, and fraternizing with the enemy is simply not done, but as they work together and follow the clues, the lines become blurred when he falls for the hunter's charms.

  6. I wish he’dd give her more of a chance to defend herself! But I suppose in a way he is because he didn’t just kill her. I’m totally fascinated by the story, great snippet.

    1. Veronica,
      I so glad you’re liking the story. 🙂 And you are correct. He’s giving her a chance, because if you recall ‘stake and dust’ is his family’s motto.

    1. Karysa,
      Hmm…he may still have a thing for her. She does have those blue eyes that did him in when they were in high school. Perhaps some of those feelings are still there for her. 🙂 🙂

  13. I like how this interaction plays out. Like Paula, I’m interested to see how things go with the brothers.
