This week I'm reading...
First Chapter...
Tom Prendergast awakened. Wiping the sleep from his eyes, he scanned the darkened room. A furious wind knocked on the block of ice that was once a window, violently demanding he rise from his warm bed. He searched for the true master of his life. The alarm clock glowed with the numbers 5:18 a.m.
Teaser...
It might be another dreadful Monday morning for the rest of the sorry world, he thought, but not for me.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
You've got me curious!
ReplyDeleteI hate my alarm clock, so I can relate. I hope you enjoy this one! I have been hearing good things about it. Thanks for sharing, Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely curious and am wondering just what is going on. Plus I always have sympathy with any character who does not want to get up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI like the writing style of the opening. I'm curious, so I'd definitely keep reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat opening. I shivered. LOL I've got my eye on this one.
