Invite me in… Flowers and Fangs @RebeccaJVickery @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
Enjoy a snippet from last week: Flowers and Fangs Chapter 3 #2
This week's snippet is another snippet from Flowers and Fang.
This is still Chapter 3. Skipping ahead again a few paragraphs. We left off with Sloane's dog, Lad, growling at the door. Sloane is surprise to find out it's only Tim (her boyfriend) who's come calling, and doesn't understand why Lad is snarling at him. She drags Lad away and puts him out back before she returns to the front door again. Tim is still standing on the porch...

Tim stood up straight when he caught sight of her. For a brief second, she could have sworn his eyes had an eerie glow to them, like a pair of eyes looking back from a thicket, warning her of danger, but she blinked and his eyes were the same soft brown color she'd remembered.
"Are you going to ask me in?" he voiced and his brows lifted in question. He looked a little pale, but not feverish. It was good to know the flu would only last twenty-four hours.
"Sure, but I must warn you I think I caught what you had a few days ago."
"I've already been exposed and I doubt I'll catch it twice," he said.
She opened the screen and stepped aside, then frowned when he didn't move. "Well, come in already."
His lips slid into a grin, but the smile made her uneasy.

Does Tim seem a little pleased to be invited in?
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.
