Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros sharing the first paragraph, maybe two, of a book that I'm reading or plan to read soon. (I've seen this one around other blogs and was intrigued; it's a page turner so far.)

"I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her. She just lay on the floor, holding her jaw. Staring at me. Silent. She didn't even seem surprised."
Does this intro make you curious for more?
Please feel free to join in each Tuesday with your own "First Chapter, First Paragraph Intro" by linking your post from the book you are reading below.
I just read this one last week. Loved it! I thought the opening lines were great, and they hooked me.
ReplyDeleteI saw your review and couldn't wait to try it. I like the manner in which story unfolds.
DeleteActually, the opening paragraph didn't make me want to read more. But Laurel-Rain loved the book, so perhaps I need to pay attention.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite addictive so far.
DeleteI loved this book and that opener definitely grabbed my attention.
ReplyDeleteIt is an attention grabber for sure.
DeleteNo it doesn't want to make me read more - but maybe she has a surprise for him and hits him back. But as both Laurel-Rain and Cleo love this book maybe I should think again
ReplyDeleteIt's a very good story so far - why he is the way he is.
DeleteYes! But I've had this on my list for a while.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it.
DeleteI so want to read this. Everything I've heard about it has been good. Enjoy x
ReplyDeleteI'm happy I'm reading it so far!

DeleteI listened to this one and liked it.
ReplyDeleteOh good to hear; I need more reading time.
DeleteThat was a pretty good intro and I would want to see what's up!
ReplyDeleteGood story so far Brian.
DeleteThis sounds like a disturbing book and at first glance of the blurb on Amazon, I think it's not for me. But then I remember how much I liked listening to Behind Closed Doors, so maybe this one is worth trying.
ReplyDeleteIt's addictive trying to understand why he's like this - good writing too.
DeleteWow...this sounds really intense!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my First Chapter First Paragraph!

DeleteOliver doesn't seem like a very nice guy...
ReplyDeleteFor sure - disturbed.
DeleteThis would usually be an automatic no from me but I've read some reviews lately that have me intrigued!
ReplyDeleteIt's very addictive thus far - just haven't had enough time to read.
DeleteI am mostly curious because so many of your readers have found it good. Because that first line kind of put me off.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about this book. Thanks for sharing the opening lines.
ReplyDeleteNew book for me. Thanks for sharing.
