First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile By the Sea. Each week, participants share a paragraph (or two) from a book they are currently reading or are planning to read soon.
Today I’m going to share the first two paragraphs of Odd Child Out by Gilly Macmillan. My stop on the blog tour is coming up on Thursday, October 26th. I’ll be starting this book very soon.
First Chapter, First Paragraph
Midnight
“A black ribbon of water cuts through the city of Bristol, under a cold midnight sky. Reflections of street lighting float and warp on its surface.
On one side of the canal there’s a scrapyard, where heaps of crumpled metal glisten with frost. Opposite is an abandoned redbrick warehouse. Its windows are unglazed and pigeons nest on the ledges.”
What do you think? Would you continue reading?
It sounds eerie and atmospheric to me. I’m in!
I’m curious about this one; I’d try a bit more.
I’m with you, Diane. I’m very interested to see what’s in store!
I would keep reading.
I’m glad you agree! Please stay tuned for the review!
