Dust to dust… Flowers and Fangs @KMNbooks @RebeccaJVickery #8sunday #snippetsunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
Enjoy a snippet from last week: Flowers and Fangs #1
This week's snippet is from Flowers and Fangs.
The three Hayes brothers arrived at the Wilkins' home and are hunting a Nosferatu (one of the more nastier vampires and the most lethal). They've cornered the creature in the backyard.
This is in Derek's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit. 
*********************************************************************************
The vamp bellowed and stumbled forward. Derek didn't waste any time and loaded another arrow, but the vamp had already dislodged the weapon from his shoulder and flitted.
"Behind you," Wade shouted.
Derek heard his brother's warning as he swung around to fire off another shot. The vamp stood a foot away with his hands outstretched and his fangs a nasty length meant for tearing. If he'd been a millisecond slower, he would have been this vamp's next victim. The vamp fell to his knees then face forward, landing hard. He had hit the vamp's heart, paralyzing him, but the creature was far from dead.
A simple stake to the heart didn't dust a vamp; the wood only immobilized it. To truly kill a blood drinker, they had to relieve it of its head, and this took a good deal of muscle, but once done the blood drinker literally turned to ash. Yeah, dust to dust, ashes to ashes…yada yada yada…

Dust to dust... I think Nosferatu is about to find out the brothers don't mess around. lol

About the Book:
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.
