Teaser Tuesdays (September 14, 2010)
This week's selection is from Dark Song by Gail Giles. "I saw the bag of wires he held coming toward my face then, and my eyelids mashed together, bracing for the hit. It never came. I opened my eyes, and Marc held Dad's wrist." (Page 220, ARC) Book summary: Mark said he heard the dark song when he creeped houses. The song the predator's heart sings when it hears the heart of the prey. I heard it now. Mark said it had always been in me. Lurking. Waiting for me to hear.
