It was hot and clumsy work, with her left leg scraping against the aluminum every few inches. Twice she stopped to listen, thinking she heard footsteps somewhere below. Would there be an alarm when their escape was discovered? (page 56 Scarlet ARC - Marissa Meyer author)

Scarlet was descending toward the alley behind the Rieux Tavern when her port screen chimed from the passenger seat, followed by an automated voice: "Comm received fro Mademoiselle Scarlet Benoit fromt he Toulouse Law Enforcement Department of Missing Persons." (1st page, 1st sentence from Scarlet ARC, author Marissa Meyer)
Sounds like an interesting book. Great 56!
ReplyDeletei remember reading this book when it came out. i did enjoy it..
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one I want, but first I must read Cinder.... I did win it a year ago, but the bad blogger still claims she is unable to send. I guess I will have to buy it.
ReplyDeleteFreda, sorry to hear of your negligible blogger problem. Cinder is definitely worth the read. Perhaps borrow it from the library in the meantime?
DeleteHi Yvonne. Yes, it is interesting! It is a YA novel, part two of the Lunar Chronicles, to be released January, I think.
ReplyDeleteLady in Read, glad you enjoyed Scarlet. It's nice to see a YA novel that isn't the same old vampires and werewolves.
ReplyDeleteThe opening sentence for Scarlet was intriguing, thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for dropping by my blog last Friday, have a Happy New Year! =)
