Today I’m featuring a book that I’m reading for review.
The explosive noise of the guns had set off a chain reaction, sheets of wet snow dropping from the limbs of the pine trees surrounding Jeremy Fisk. Even after the gunfire stopped, Fisk could hear limbs snapping, snow thudding to earth, a circular cataract expanding, fading away from him like ripples in a frigid pond.
And then the endless forest … went silent.
My God, thought Fisk. They’re all dead.
I was sent a copy of this book to review and I have to tell you … that intro definitely caught my eye! So far I’m only a couple of chapters in, but this book definitely has my attention for now!
riveting intro so I’d keep reading — enjoy
Great intro! Now I’m frightened…and curious. Thanks for sharing. Here’s MY TUESDAY POST

It may be a little violent for me… think I’d need to read more before deciding. Thanks for sharing.
If violence is not your thing then I would definitely not recommend this book, it gets quite violent very fast.
Yes, that is definitely an attention grabbing intro! I would keep reading.
I would keep reading.
Sounds like a great page turner.
