Venators: Legends Rise by Devri Walls

…the vampire grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him forward, roughly sinking his teeth into his neck and pulling blood in long, painful jerks. He’d heard vampires could make this process enjoyable. This one didn’t bother.

The instructions had been to leave him on the verge of death, with just enough blood to keep his heart pumping. He hadn’t stopped to think of one thing: What would stop the vampire from finishing him off?

      Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, a vampire doing his thing makes for a good attention grabber, doesn’t it?

  2. Not a big vampire fan but this is intriguing. Happy weekend!

      The vampire aspect of this novel (as opposed to the wizard, shapeshifter, sire, incubus, werewolf, dragon, fae, portal fantasy, or any other half-dozen things I could list) isn’t really my favorite, but hard to do better for an eye-catching snippet, right?

  3. So, your site doesn’t save my comment info once I’ve input it.

    Any thoughts on that?
