First Chapter Tuesday/Teaser Tuesday - February 13th


Every Tuesday Vicki at I'd Rather Be At the Beach hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where we share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book we are reading or thinking about reading soon. Care to join us?



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, now being hosted by Ambrosia at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


This is from the E-ARC of the current book I'm reading...





First Chapter... .


The call comes at three a.m.   The jagged ring of the bedside telephone tearing a hole in our sleep.

I reach out a hand to silence it.

"Hello," I whisper.

Static whispers back to me.  I press the phone harder to  my ear.

"Who is this?"



Teaser...

The line fizzes again and he's gone.


What do you think? Would you keep reading?
