RAINBOW SNIPPETS 2023-12-30 ~ The Choice #RainbowSnippets

December 30, 2023

Hello Rainbow Snippeters! 😁

In case you’re not familiar with #RainbowSnippets, check out their Facebook Group where you’ll find a new post each Saturday (or early Friday, depending on your time zone). That weekly pinned post will collect comments from authors linking to their 6-ish-line Rainbow Snippet post for the week.

I’m snipping from The Choice this week since its bookversary is coming up in just under a week. It’s book 2 in my vampire duology following The Recruit. The drama that had seemingly been tied up in book 1 turns out to be not so completely handled after all.

Context isn’t overly critical. The “they” being referred to in the opening line is a couple of guys who’d been following Albert and Neil, one of whom is Neil’s ex from before he was turned. They’d been temporarily zombified.

From Neil’s 3rd-Person POV:

THIS WEEK'S RAINBOW SNIPPET:

“They’re prepped?” Albert asked.

Vinny nodded.

Albert glanced at Neil. “We have a tendency to inadvertently, and quite literally, scare the piss out of people, so it makes sense to have them ‘go’ while still under the influence.”

Neil winced. That did seem like a wise move, though, whether it was so the two could walk away inconspicuously or to minimize potential DNA on the scene. Knowing these vampires as he did, the fact that action would help the pair retain their dignity wasn’t just a collateral benefit but was part of their reason for doing it.

BLURB

As a freshly turned vampire, Neil had frozen in panic when he’d found himself face-to-face with his ex-boyfriend, Cameron. Neil thought that misstep and its associated danger was all in the past, but Cameron’s current boyfriend, Dennis, is like a dog with a bone, and a keen imagination. When the two men’s curiosity progresses to the point the vampires consider their secrecy to be endangered, choices must be made.

Now that faction leader Albert has a blood-mate, he finds himself second-guessing his decisions. Neil would be crushed knowing his mistake led to human deaths, but Albert shouldn’t factor that into the difficult choices he must make. Will Albert’s indecision put the entire vampire establishment in danger? Or is redemption only a flamethrower away?
