First Chapter ~ First Paragraph

 It's Tuesday . . . time for . . . 



. . . First Chapter ~ First Paragraph Tuesday Intros . . . now hosted by Yvonne at Socrates' Book Reviews, where bloggers share excerpts from a book they have read, are currently reading, or are planning to read.

Today I'm featuring an upcoming read, Shiver by Allie Reynolds.  I picked this book up at the library last week.



Prologue:  It's that time of year again. The time the glacier gives up bodies.

First Chapter:  "Hello?" My shout echoes around the concrete cavern.

The familiar red-and-white cable car sits in the bay, but there's nobody in the operator booth. The sun has disappeared behind the Alps, the sky is pink, yet there isn't a single light on in the building. Where is everyone?

 

What do you think?  Would you continue reading? 

As if we haven't gotten enough snow over the past week, and despite more in the forecast for this week, I'm still looking forward to starting this book that centers on a reunion weekend in the French Alps in which five friends are stranded at a remote mountain resort during a snowstorm. I think I'll start it this coming weekend.
