Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.
My book beginning today if from Perfect Mate by Mina Carter. I won a copy of the book from the Red Hot Blog tour. I love the way it starts and so far I really like the book.
"She dreamed of the forest and running. Of the wind as she raced over the terrain."
Here is what Goodreads says about the book:
"Monsters do exist...and they’re the good guys.
Lillian
Rosewood leads an ordinary, boring life working as the manager of a
psychiatric hospital. The highlights of her day, other than her skinny
hot chocolate, are the hunky guards who work in the secure section.
Until a late-night emergency is wheeled in.
Captain Jack Harper
is insane, drop-dead gorgeous...and just had his abdomen shredded.
Despite the fact they're not an emergency room, Lillian can't turn him
away and risk a death on her hands. Unable to get the handsome soldier
out of her mind, Lillian sneaks into the restricted area to check on
him. What she finds is beyond belief. Somehow Jack has managed to heal
himself from a near-fatal wound in mere hours.
When one of the
doctors, Walker, attempts to rape her, things go from bad to worse. In
the blink of an eye, Jack is loose and Walker is dead... and Lillian
must accept a truth about her rescuer that will change her world
forever. What if the patients aren't insane? What if their stories of
secret government experiments and monsters are true?
Warning:
Contains blood, mayhem and nude werewolves operating heavy weaponry.
Large amounts of sarcasm and smart-ass vampires may offend some readers.
No civilian hospital staff were harmed in the making of this story."
The words at the beginning are really nice.
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't it always someone who is having a somewhat ordinary day who is totally shaken up? LOL

Sounds like an intense read! The beginning is definitely curious, I wonder what prompted her to dream of this...

Wow, thats interesting! Secret govt experiments and monsters... and smartass vamps too? Sounds like fun! :) Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plot with plenty of action! I don't usually read this genre, but this book sounds like something I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteMy post today features excerpts from FLY OR FALL.
From the cover I'm not sure if I would like this book but must follow the old saying of "Don't judge a book by its cover" so I will see if it is at the library next time we go.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great story. Happy Readings :)
