MY TEASE
"Tyler sank onto the cushion beside her, gripping her hand tight enough to fuse her fingers together but she couldn't feel anything beyond the numb shock coating her gut.
Her unfocused gaze latched onto the maroon crust of congealed blood beneath his trimmed fingernails...
The sinister smudges were the only part of her brother that would make it home tonight."
~ page 4, Night is Darkest by Jayne Rylon
It sounds like a spoiler, but at page 4 it is simply setting the stage.
Are you feeling teased?
