First Chapter Tuesday/Teaser Tuesday - April 16th


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!


I'm hoping to read this one soon...





First Chapter... 


It was sweltering.  The sun beat down, and perspiration dripped along Jazzi's spine.  Uncomfortable and impatient, she wished the auctioneer would hurry up.  She wanted this house.  She and her cousin, Jerod, had walked through it, top to bottom, at the initial showing and hadn't seen any major problems.  They'd flipped houses together for four years now.  Mostly successes.

Teaser...

A skeleton was lying inside, its head cradled on a pillow, its knees pulled up.



What do you think? Would you keep reading?
