I am getting such a positive response on my tuesday twist that I'd be crazy not to continue!
For those of you who don't know, I will list three sentences below for you to see if the first sentence is captivating enough for you to want to know the answer! After you read all three you can click the secret revealed link and it will show you what novel to add to your TBR list!
Be sure to tell me which one's you find entertaining and which one's left you without a feeling! This week we are bringing the spooky one's out of the closest! Thanks Summer Ross for the suggestion!
Sentences:
1. I felt her fear before I heard her screams.
2. On Monday morning, Olivia Morrow sat quietly across the desk from her longtime friend Clay Hadley, absorbing the death sentence he had just pronounced.
3. Wedged in the middle of an ocean of people, I gasped for air, but nothing came. The heat from a million writhing bodies radiated over me, their sweat weighing down the air.
Titles:
1. Secret Revealed
2. Secret Revealed
3. Secret Revealed
So what do you think? Any of them grab your attention?

The first one made my heart beat faster!
Love love love...Hugs and kisses
Wish you a great day, darling
I love all things spooky esp. spooky stories, so they call caught my attention!
I guess less is more. #1! and I was surprised by #3!
I think #1 was the most eerie!
I was also surprised by the author of 3. Speaking of eerie, she had to have a ghost writer help, right?!
No. 2! The death sentence bit was a nice surpise! The first one smells of paranormal and I'm not a paranormal girl. The last one doesn't offer me anything I want to know ...
Ditto Kelly. BTW, love these posts.
oh please tell me #3's author is just a namesake.
I loved #1!
#1 for sure :)
#1 was definitely the best!
#3 surprised me! much better lines than what i would have guessed!
Of the three, I'd pick #2. And I love its title, too!
I picked the third one! I'll have to put that on my list. Thanks, special lady!
I picked number 2 because it seemed less obvious than number 1 and not quite as dramatic as number 3. Love the post!
hi miss jen!
for me number 1 sounds really scary so thats the one i picked.
...hugs from lenny
I chose number 1 :) It definitely grabbed my attention.
I loved the short, snappy tension of #1!
I like #1, but since I also loved the book, that might not be fair. #2 didn't do anything for me, but #3 intrigued me enough that I wanted to see what it was...
This is such fun!
#1 caught my attention, and that book has been on my TBR list forever--definitely time to read it!
#2 & 3 are too too wordy. No surprise what #3 was... ;p
But wow, no wonder those VA books are so popular if the writing's that tight... That's a great first sentence. :D
Oh, these are good today! I especially love #1 and 3. :-)
3 got me, and it's already in my TBR pile! So yeay!! Great Tuesday posts!
I chose #1. It's a book I read too.
I can't believe the author of #3. I didn't know she had a book. They let anyone write a book these days.
The first and last definitely grab me, though not sure about a book written by an actress. Did she really write it? Emm.
I like #2 a lot. I suppose that's because I like my sentences longer. ;)
JEN!!!! I missed you blog while I was gone lol.
Elixer sounds like an amazing read and the cover is fantastic
I liked the third one.
OOHHH #1 sounds good to me!
#1, I was surprise to find out the title.
#2 for me, I think! Though #1 pleasantly surprised me :)
I've never read any MHC, but the 2nd one caught my eye :)
I really like the first one! Gripping!
Happy Spooky Tuesday!
#1 is my pick!
Oooh, the first one did for sure. I want to read that--going to click on the secret link.
#2 was my pick! Thanks, I'll have to check it out!
#2 caught my attention. #1 not so much and 3 not at all.
I liked #1, and I've read that one! #3 surprised me a little, since I've read those atrocious lines on Kirkus reviews from it. Have you read it yet? What did you think?
The second one interested me the most although I still felt it was a little clunky.
Oh yeah, and you cheated with the third, you sneaky girl. That's two sentences!
Jai
The first one. Simple and to the point.
I actually have that book--haven't read it yet though!
#1 really grabbed me. I actually thought #3 was a bit overwritten... but I was surprised by the author!
Okay, Hilary Duff. You have officially surprised me!
Number 1 grabbed my attention:)
First one!
Second one left me kind of flat and the third one felt a little forced...overwritten. I am surprised at the 3rd author, though.
Number one is a great first sentence!!! UMMMM, HILARY DUFF WROTE A BOOK! I'm too shocked to say any more.
What a fabulous idea! I dug #2 for sure. I love meaty first sentences that get me right into the book. Funny thing is, I've never read Clark. TBR list, here I come!
Definitely #1. By a long shot.
1 is my favorite. 2 piqued my interest though.
Last weekend I mentioned Hilary Duff's book, which sparked heated debate.
One gets my attention. Two did as well. Three, eh... didn't do much.
Fun! Now I have to go and see what the books they are from.
have a great day
