First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros
is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To
participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read
based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.
I stand on the rocks high above a lake. The water below me is inky green, waves lapping gently against the banks of a shade-dappled cove. It's a warm summer's evening, but I know the water will be cool here under these trees. Cool and deep. We're not supposed to be here at all, much less climb the rocks and high-drive from the top. The camp counselors think it's dangerous, and they're right. If you angle it wrong, hit the shallow water, slip and tumble and smack the rocks, you could hurt yourself. Or worse, You could break your neck. That's why this place is strictly off-limits. Not that I care.

This is a new one for me -- like the intro and curious for more.
Someone obviously trying to get away from everyone else. :-) I've heard a little about this book and am curious about it. I hope you enjoy it!
New to me, but now I am curious. Love the descriptions in the opening lines.
Here's mine: “THE CORN MAIDEN”
Now that's a great tease! I have so many questions!
Trish - my tease
New to me as well.
Your teaser is awesome! And I like how the paragraph is readable and not too complex, if that makes sense ;)
Son of No One | Sherrilyn Kenyon
I like the intro, that's such a daredevil kid's point of view. And I'm curious to know more about this character. Cool pick!
Here's My Teaser.
New author for me. Do I need to read the 1st book? I'm a little OCD about series. But I love 'em.
That's quite a compelling intro! Mine: The Phantom of the Opera
Not sure this one is for me, but hope you enjoy it!
Here's Mine: http://www.sarahsbookshelves.com/top-ten-tuesday/top-ten-hard-read-books-tuesday-intro/
Sounds like a gripping story. The opening lets us know that the character is a daredevil. I'd keep reading to get to know him better.
Here's the link to my Tuesday post: SUMMERTIME.
Love the last line of the paragraph. After outlining all the good reasons why the place is off limits, "not that I care" says so much about the main character.

Hmm, may not be for me, but I hope you enjoy it.
This was a great start to a thriller. These characters know all the risks but don't care. I'm nothing like that which is why I love to read thrillers. I hope you're enjoying this series.
Very intriguing teaser, sounds like it might be good.
Both the title and the intro are very intriguing. I'd keep reading. Have a nice week! kelley—the road goes ever ever on
