This is my first time participating. I started The Damage Done by Hilary Davidson a few days ago, but I'm struggling a little with it. Other bloggers have praised it highly and so I'll give it a bit more time. I really want to love it!
It was the bright yellow tape that finally convinced me my sister was dead. When the police had called me, I'd cried for her, but afterward a slender thread of suspicion had snaked into my brain and coiled itself around my thoughts. Claudia was deceitful, like every junkie has to be, but she also had a temper and hated to be ignored. I'd kept my distance from her since September; maybe being the butt of the world's worst practical joke was the price I would pay for four months of silence. That suspicion didn't deter me from getting on the first flight I could out of Barcelona, but it kept my heart beating at a relatively steady pace until I'd arrived in New York. Part of me believed that I would come home and find my sister waiting for me with her dark eyes and twisted smile, pleased with herself for tricking me back into her orbit.

That's pretty intriguing. I'd have to keep going. But, if it doesn't grab you, life is short, read good books. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteOh YES; that intro hooked me and now I want more. Hope the entire book is as good as that intro.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in Kay.
Well, I've set the book aside for now. Just not working for me at this very moment. Doesn't mean it won't work at another time. I'll go back to it after some time has passed. Thanks for stopping by everyone!
