Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
Enjoy a snippet from last week: Flowers and Fangs Chapter 2 #1
This week's snippet is from Flowers and Fangs. We're skipping ahead to the next Chapter.
Derek and Wade Hayes are heading over to the McBride's house to find out if Tim infected his girlfriend and her family. Axel is staying behind to see if Tim will show up at his house. This is in Derek's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit.

"Well, don't the place look all nice and cozy," Wade said as he checked his gun. The special weapon was modified to hold iron-filled bullets. Iron could prove lethal to a vampire no matter the sept they belonged to.
He'd documented the differences between the vampire septs, including the vamps choice of weapons if any, their preferences to feeding, and if their bite were lethal to a human's existence. His father told him not to waste his time. 'Son, all vamps are blood drinkers,' his father told him more times than he could count. 'There's not much more you need to know. Stake and dust. End of subject.'
"Are you ready?" Wade threw him the infamous half-tilted grin that said: Let's kick some preternatural arse.
*********************************************************************************
Seems like Derek wants to know about the vampire septs and how they function. Wade just wants to do his job. lol Wonder what they'll find inside the McBride's home.
About Flowers and Fangs, "Stake and Dust series, Book II":
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.

Stake and Dust, Book I- These are stand alone stories.
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.
