"When she was twelve, my sister fell into a grave. We were two children by ourselves in an empty cemetery, old stones jutting out of the ground in all directions. The grass was dead, the same straw color as my sister's hair. I remember the terrific flutter in my chest."

Happy Reading!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good book to keep you company today and over the weekend.
Thanks for stopping.
Paper Ghosts sounds interesting. It certainly has an intriguing beginning. I'm featuring Falling Star by Terri Osburn - a romance from my review stack - this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt is a different take on a mystery and is good.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Kathy.
I wonder what happened to the sister. Did she die when she fell in the grave? My Friday Quotes
ReplyDeleteI can't tell. :)
DeleteIt is a good read...a bit different, but good.
Thanks for commenting, Anne.
I am eager to read my copy of Paper Ghosts...soon!
ReplyDeleteI also want The Other Mother and The New Neighbors, among others.
Enjoy your weekend, and here's mine: “LET ME LIE”
LET ME LIE is good. :)
DeleteI will be interested to see what you think of THE NEW NEIGHBORS...it was an OK read for me.
I know you will like THE OTHER MOTHER.
Thanks for commenting, Laurel.

That's a creepy beginning and probably my worst fear in a cemetery! This does look like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteIt actually wasn't that creepy, but very different.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Katherine.
