Every Tuesday, at Bibliophile By The Sea, will be posting the opening paragraph (sometimes two) of a book I decided to read based on the opening paragraph (s). Feel free to grab the banner and play along. This week's selection is a cozy mystery, "Ultra Violet" by Nancy Bush.
I had mere seconds to get out of the bedroom. There was no bolt for the door and escape back the way I'd entered. I stood frozen, my hands useless appendages in front of me, my frantic heartbeats a roaring surf in my ears.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:• 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!
Me in My Reading Corner. Happy Reading everyone!

I like your reading corner, and the intro makes me curious for more:)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThis does sound good, and the title is excellent as well!
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi Ann,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great, fun mystery, if those first few lines are anything to go by.
They leave so much to the imagination and so many questions unanswered, but then of course I just HAD to cheat and check out the full synopsis, so I could work out what was going on.
Cozy mysteries are not a genre that I have read a lot of, but my current read, which is an author request to review, is in that genre and I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying it, so I guess you have a new convert to the world of the cozies'!
I love the way that you like to be surrounded by your books, I feel pretty much the same way.
