Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.
Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.
Following last week’s snippet…
Tracker nodded solemnly. The man had been through a lot long before returning to find his home had become the site of a massacre. He would’ve been worried about any spellster who didn’t struggle to sleep so soon after witnessing such an aftermath. That Dylan was clearly a man who longed to help people, and blamed himself when he couldn’t, only made it worse.
He settled next to the man, casually propping his arms on his upraised knees. He was certain the night would remain quiet, but it didn’t hurt to keep a weapon or two close at hand. “Blanket or blade?”
Dylan’s brow furrowed. “What?”
I’ll see you all with more from In Love and Death next week. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.

Aww, poor Dylan. At least he has a sympathetic Tracker at his side, noticing the state he’s in.

Having Tracker’s pov in the rewrite has led to his compassionate side showing a lot.

I’m glad Tracker has such a good understanding of Dylan by this point. Poor guy needs someone on his side. ❤️
