Series A/N: Yeah, I dont know Spanish. I took French in school - I lifted the Quatros from Psych
A/N: I love Sandra Hills books, which are patented screw-ball romances be they about time-traveling Vikings or Crazy Cajuns. Her books pretty much fall into those two categories. No real spoilers for the Cajun series, Jinx series, or Cajun Angels (I think thats what its called) series. Tante Lulu is just crazy, so I figured theyd' get along famously. Connected to the Haunted subsets, Dark Inklings series. Hope Chests subset.
31 Nights of Frights, Dos Quatros
10. Not the Fortunate One
When St. Jude or God weren't too busy helpin' Louise Rivard to bring all them crazy LeDeuxs up to shape, they'd cast their eyes to a not-so-little boy on the West Coast. Connor Angel, the only living offspring of two vampires, was currently just where he was supposed to be: Bayou Black. Connor, however wasn't so sure about that when he saw the folk-healer he was supposed to get together with for the volunteer work.
His other mission was to track down the queen of the Ooops Day Troupe, Dawn Summers. Only Vi, her lifemate Josef and Kit Holburn, the watcher on her way to take over for Dawn knew where she had run off to. He hated thinking that something had happened to the younger Summers girl, and something must have happened to her and her slayer Starla. Dorian Purcell, Starla's original watcher, had disappeared off the face of the earth not long after summoning the errant slayer back home. Kit had raced East to cover for Dawn, and Connor had raced south to track her down. And do charitable deeds. Whatever.
"You gots a hope chest?"
Connor's head jerked up away from the alligator floating listlessly in the water and his gaze landed on the tiny little woman with crazy bright red wig and a million wrinkles. She also had hot pants on. Connor wasn't sure if he wanted to puke or gouge his eyes out. It took him a minute to realize she was talking to him. Before he could say anything, a clap of thunder came out of nowhere.
"Huh? Did you hear that thunder?"
