Book Beginnings and Friday56
Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.
Have you read Frank Peretti? This is my fourth book by him I'm reading, but still have a few on my TBR:
Monster
About the book:
Some monsters are real.
Miles away from the hectic city, Reed and Rebecca hike into the beautiful Northwester woods. They are surrounded by gorgeous mountains, waterfalls, and hundreds of acres of unspoiled wilderness.
During their first night camping, an unearthly wail pierces the calm of the forest. Then something emerges from the dense woods. Everything that follows is a blur to Reed—except the unforgettable image of a huge creature carrying his wife into the darkness.
Enter into deep wilderness where the rules of civilization no longer apply. A world where strange shadows lurk. Where creatures long attributed to overactive imaginations and nightmares are the hunters . . .and people are the hunted.

The Hunter, rifle in his hands, dug in a heel and came to a sudden halt on the game trail, motionless, nearly invisible in a thicket of serviceberry and crowded pines.

Okay, Sing's gonna hand out photographs and detailed descriptions of the missing persons. Give these papers a good looking over.

My thoughts so far
This is a paperback copy and I don't have that much time to sit and read paperbacks, but when I do make time I'm enjoying this creepy story and looking forward to where the author will take this reader.

It is a different type of creepy story.
DeleteI am now very curious! Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “KILL ALL YOUR DARLINGS”
ReplyDeleteHope you read it :-)
DeleteSounds like it will be a page turner! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf I can just find the reading time.
DeleteI've been curious about this book. It sounds like something I'd like. I read Peretti's novellas in the Harbingers series and really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteLiking Peretti's stories. I still have to read that Harbingers series.
DeleteNo, I haven't read anything by Frank Peretti, but Monster looks interesting. I like the quotes too.
ReplyDeleteHope you find time to try his books :-)
DeleteThis sounds really good! I haven't read anything by Frank Peretti before. Sounds like maybe I should give his books a try though. I hope you enjoy this one! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHe writes great thrillers
DeleteFrank Peretti now there is a blast from the past. Is this book about the end days before Christ comes? I think that is what he is famous for anyway. My Friday Quotes are here
ReplyDeleteI think that one is The Visitation. This one seems to be about bigfoot or something like it...
DeleteIt's been so long since I've read this author. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have a long list of older books of his still to get to.
DeleteMy son and husband have read some by him, but I don't think that I have. Happy reading!
