Teaser Tuesdays: The Winter Ghosts

This week my teaser lines come from The Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse. I haven't really started this one yet, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on in this snippet. All I know is that the protagonist is wandering alone in a dark, wooded area, imagining all sorts of scary stuff.
In the deepest thickets of the wood, the light had all but disappeared. The mist was slinking through the trees, slipping in and out of the trunks and hollows like an animal hunting its prey. There was an absolute and impenetrable stillness....Then I heard the snap of a twig underfoot. (p.63)
And that's exactly why I try to stay away from dark, wooded areas.


Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by mizB at Should Be Reading. If you'd like to read more teasers, or take part yourself, just head on over to her blog.

  1. I read Winter Ghosts -- different from the previous book of hers that I've read, but enjoyable in its way.

  4. Oh you just brought back some memories of my younger days. I was fine in the daytime, but if it was getting close to evening and I'm still walking around among the trees I would get so scared... It is so funny how your imagination can scare the livin' daylights out of you.

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
