Tuesday Intro/Teaser


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.

We’ve been tracking Shawn Sutherland for almost two hours when the blizzard strikes. That’s the common phrasing. A storm hits. A blizzard strikes. Like a left hook out of nowhere. . Except that’s not how it usually happens. There’s always warning. The wind picks up. The sky darkens. At the very least you sense a weight in the air. When the snow starts, you might curse at the suddenness of it, but you know it wasn’t sudden at all. This blizzard is different. Deputy Will Anders and I are roaring along on our snowmobiles, following a clear set of footprints in newly fallen snow. I’m glad the idiot’s prints are obvious because it’s such a gorgeous day, I struggle to focus on my task. The sun glitters off snow and ice as I whip along, taking my corners a little too tight, playing with the machine, enjoying the ride on what has become a rather routine task—chasing Shawn Sutherland.

a Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong (Casey Duncan #2)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker



I stumble forward, following the trajectory from the sled, trying to run, which only makes it worse. I’m staggering and I can’t see a damned thing, and then I pitch forward, tripping on what I think is a branch or a root, and I go down face first, sprawled over Anders’s leg


Would you keep reading?  Have you read this book?

Things are coming along with the water damage at home. I can relax now that I am away from home and be prepared to pick out flooring and paint when I return home next week. Happy First Full Day of Spring.

Sounds like an ominous start, and I'm curious to find out more. I have the first book in the series patiently waiting in one of my reading piles. I'll have to move it up, since the second book is available and the third one will be out soon.

Oh, those excerpts grabbed me. Thanks for sharing...and enjoy. Here's mine: “BRIDGES: A DAPHNE WHITE NOVEL”

Good luck with the water damage repair!

Great description in the opening and in the Teaser. I haven't read anything by this author, but I'll definitely look for this book.
My Tuesday post features The Boys in the Boat.
