Terrific Tuesday

1st Paragraph and Teaser


Hosted at Bibliophile by the Sea
Every Tuesday, she'll be posting the opening paragraph (maybe two) of her current read.
Why don't you join us?

The vampire knew how to sit on a horse. He rode with an easy muscularity despite his armor, achieving an effortless rhythm with his huge black stallion. A helm covered his head, red plumes floating in the wind, and gleaming plate mail sheathed his big body, so that he moved with the creak of leather and the scrape of steel on steel

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme,
hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:


  1. Grab your current read Open to a random page 
  2. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page ~BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!~ make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!
  3. Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

They were still doomed.

    Gina, this sounds like a very different story from what I generally enjoy, so no not for me, but enjoy.

    Vampires don't do much for me, but this was a lovely opener. I like descriptions that bring the scene to life.

    Here's MY TUESDAY POST

    What a great picture the intro paints. I have not read any vampire stories...so I probably would not continue, but I hope you enjoy it.

    I did read my first vampire story earlier this year, believe it or not and enjoyed it, so I'm getting into this genre.

Thank you!

I have no idea why the captcha thing is showing up. I've got the setting marked "no" that I don't want it. Grrrrrr! But, I believe that if you skip entering anything it will post.
