Page 56
A small trickle of blood begins to leak from Lacey's nose, trailing red down over her lips before dripping onto her lap. I call her name and she reaches to touch the blood with her fingers. Her eyes begin to stream tears when she sees the crimson streaked across her hand. "Fuck," she says, blood sputtering from between her lips.

Chapter One
James stared straight ahead, with no immediate reaction to what I've just told him. I think he's in shock. I follow his gaze out of the windshield to the empty parking lot of the convenience store off the highway. The building is abandoned, plywood covering the windows, black graffiti tagged on the white siding. In a way, James and I have been abandoned too, our former selves boarded up and locked away while the world moves on around us. We were supposed to accept that change, follow the rules. Instead we broke all of them.

Great excerpts! I also love the cover...it's kind of creepy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting and depressing, at the same time! Very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI think the beginning is beautiful. It has already drawn me in to their world. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYour 56 has me curious and the beginning is very descriptive -- I must know more!
ReplyDeleteI've only read the first book in this series, but I really enjoyed it. Hope you have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhoa. That's an interesting share... 😯
ReplyDeleteWow, what a scary, gruesome symptom. Does she have the killer disease?
ReplyDeleteSounds like breaking all the rules might be a good thing.

This sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteSounds intense.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to read book one is this series yet. I'm interested in doing so partially because of the parts you feature. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI didn't really enjoy the Program but this excerpt sounds great!!

Oh, this one sounds too sad for me. :-(
ReplyDeleteYou make me curious, though seeing the cover, not sure it's the type of books I would enjoy
ReplyDeleteLove the cover...not sure the book is something I would read, though.
ReplyDeleteENJOY, and have a good weekend.
