Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. Missed last week’s snippet? Click the WeWriWa logo above. Here is another snippet from my WIP A Cardiff Novel Book 3. Meet Layla.

Quinn knelt to
help the woman up. “Are you hurt?”
He held her by the
shoulders as she held her head and wavered unsteadily on her feet. Not
rail-thin like the drugged starlets who haunted the casinos. Her skin was
porcelain covered in gauze and cold as ice, but her curves were hotter than
Hades. Her hips were lush and her breasts would fill his hands. Her sickly
pallor made her seem too far-gone to be saved from death. He knew death; it was
his business.
She was a beautiful cadaver.

Nicely done snippet. I found it intriguing and am definitely curious about the MC whose business was death. Great #8.
Well he’s kinda creepy, isn’t he? Very striking last line. 🙂
Thanks for you comment, Susan!
Thanks Caitlin!
Yes, Quinn has some issues. 🙂
So Quinn likes women once they are dead.
That was a beautiful description which suddenly turned creepy.
Intriguing story line! So, I’m guessing she’s a sexy vampire and he is…?? Looking forward to the next instalment.
Intriguing and a bit ominous. Excellent excerpt!
A beautiful cadaver? That was unexpected. I’m definitely intrigued as to where this will be going.

I like the juxtaposition between the sensual way it started out and then became kind of creepy when it was revealed this is a corpse.
You should see my face right now. What genre is this?!?! Ha! Good job. Very interesting snippet.
Wow–okay, you got me! Love the last line–it’s a great hook! Nice job!
Wonderful imagery…the last line was perfect.
What a concept! Great snippet.
Thanks for your comment, Sandra!
Thanks, Gemma! I guess I accomplished what I set out to do 🙂
Thanks Summer!
Yes, Carrie-Ann! Beautiful is the total opposite of cadaver – usually. With Layala, it sort of makes sense. 🙂
