“Well, I don’t see why not. After all, it isn’t as if they’d
have any reason to disbelieve us.”
“Lleu, go with Marc,” Leah ordered. “See to it that he
doesn’t manage to get himself killed off before he has a chance to become
undead. Dale, my dear young fellow, as usual, you are bearing the weight of the
world on your shoulders. There is no need for you to do so. Share the burden,
and we will shoulder it together.”
“Thank you, Leah,” Dale replied, squeezing the Voodoo
priestess’ slender dark hand in his powerful, pale one. “You look like the
toughest broad in any town, but you’re actually one of the sweetest people I’ve
met. I appreciate you using your magic to take us away from the base before we
all got blown to smithereens.”

Notes:
This is an excerpt from Castle Necros, the sixteenth book in the Carnal Invasion series. It is due for release on Halloween 2019.
When the volcano containing Base Lust-69 erupted at the end of Paraji's Prisoners, those within the base were thrown through a myriad of wormholes. The wormhole through which Voodoo priestess Leah La Sirene and her bevy of variably obtuse male companions fell landed them in a thick, deciduous forest complete with an ominous dark tower and hair-raising howling.
LOL: "doesn’t manage to get himself killed off before he has a chance to become undead." Great line.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :-D
DeleteLOL! I love her observations. but I'd be a wee bit suspicious of her offer.
ReplyDeleteOh, Leah's mostly harmless. Her temper is more fearsome than any of her offers. At the moment, it's Marc who's cruisin' for a bruisin'.
DeleteThis sounds like it'll be an entertaining read! Enjoyed the snippet and the blurb is awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-D
DeleteWhat a delightful snippet. I'm with you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteKind thanks. :-D
DeleteI LOVE this line. :-) :“See to it that he doesn’t manage to get himself killed off before he has a chance to become undead. Good snippet.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think it reveals the way Leah's mind works. She's been dealing with the supernatural for so long that it's completely commonplace to her.
