Sweet Venom
(A Venin Assassin
Novel)
By Gena D. Lutz
Blurb:
My name is Cassis Dark, and I am a Spider Venin. My bite
is venomous and can paralyze a man within seconds of exposure, and if I choose,
it can kill.
As a teenager, I was sold into slavery by my stepmother.
As a newly freed woman, I fight to protect the innocent from a world of pain
with which I'm all too familiar.
The evils that stalk the night aren’t all human. Good
thing for their intended victims…neither am I.

Excerpt
“Cassis, I’ve missed you,” Ice said, and immediately pulled the
trigger.
My legs carried me sideways as the bullet sliced through the air,
grazing my cheek. A line of blood crawled down my face, but I didn’t feel a
thing.
Keri’s braid moved suddenly, shooting forward like a whip. It flew
in a quick, fluid motion, extending to around six or seven feet long. With
exquisite precision, the stinger hit its mark, sinking deep within Edge’s chest.
Edge’s shocked stare fell to the twisted braid protruding from his
body. As he realized what had happened to him, I witnessed true fear blossom in
his eyes.
He shook his head, and wheezed, “No.”
“The bigger they are…” Keri began.
It only took a couple of seconds for the scorpion venom to work
its way through the blood stream, dropping the oversized hellhound like a sack
of potatoes to the hardwood floor.
“The harder they fall,” she finished, sounding pleased with
herself.
I jumped back to my feet. The fangs in my mouth elongating, I
could taste the venom welling at the tips. Violence and mayhem infused the air
around me, spurring my arachnid instincts on.
Ice’s stare widened. It was the first time I’d ever seen him
sweat. Normally, he was all cock and crow. For me, this was a far better look
on him.
The next gunshot startled me out of thought. The bullet lodged
deep inside my shoulder—that time I felt the slow burn of pain as it sizzled
down my arm.
Bitterness rose with the sting, and with it, a shiver of power
coated my palms, bringing forth my web. I only had a moment to decide if I was
going to kill the mutt, or just incapacitate him, before he could get off
another shot.
Time passed slowly as I decided, and blood oozed from my wound, landing
in abstract dots on the floor next to my boot. Then I realized, the answer was
as obvious as a punch in the gut—death was the answer, it only seemed
right.
