The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): The Midnight Game by Cynthia Murphy

  

  

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader.  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my Nevermore-athon books, The Midnight Game by Cynthia Murphy.  This is my first book by this author and I'll have to admit this YA horror thriller sounds awfully tempting.

Beginning:

Sunday, July 3, 3:36 a.m.

The figure emerged from the shadows. It slunk past the playground gates, slow, almost melting into the night. 

56:

The hollow knocking swelled, filling the room. Ellie sucked in a deep breath as a gust of wind scorched her arms.
