Welcome to Snippet Sunday. This is a snippet from Soul Taker.
If you missed the last weeks snippet, here's the link. 
Chapter 1 #8
Set up:
Sanya has been staked, but vampires don't perish from such a wound, They are only paralyzed, but can still communicate. Sanya tells Garran about her last conversation with the Soul Taker... Sanya is speaking first.
This snippet takes place a few paragraphs 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 mentioned how I once knew a highlander Grim Sith. I swear the blood in his veins clotted and he became as still as stone." She cleared her throat as the statement reminded her of her predicament. "Anyway he says you and him were kin. Alexander, that's his name." If she didn't know better, she'd swear MacLaurin's face paled even more than his usual fair skin appearance. Vampires tended to be lighter skinned due to never being out in the sun, but MacLaurin was once a Highlander, they were all pale as paper in her opinion, vampire or not.
"Where can I find him?" His eyes narrowed.

Thanks for stopping by! Find out next week if Sanya knows where Alexander is staying.

oooh, I do love that cover! and great snippet!
EE,
Thanks so much. 🙂
That is a powerful cover. Your snippet is wonderfully descriptive.
Chelle,
Thanks so much!
It’s nice that Sanya as some worthy information. I wonder if he would have killed her otherwise.
Kin? Doesn’t sound like it’s going to be a happy family reunion…
P.T.,
Probably not. lol
Yep, that cover draws attention, for sure. Agree with P.T. on the family reunion. LOL!
Nothing like finding out about a long lost cousin, huh?
Nice 8!
Tense snippet, very visual and atmospheric. That cover is amazing!
Oooh, hints of something more. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
Siobhan,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet!
Family can be such a drag. 🙂
“Pale as paper” is a great description, Karen. I love Sanya’s voice.
Thanks Sarah. 🙂
Long lost cousin, maybe, but friendly?
Sue Ann,
Not friendly at all. lol
Amazing cover! Seems like the character has found something of value to talk to McLaurin about after all, good for her! Fascinating snippet…
