The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice.
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and find any sentence or a few ( no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Please join Rose City Reader every Friday to share the first sentence or so of the book you are reading along with you initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
Please include the title of the book and the author’s name.

I have been reading and reading and reading.
I finish one book and immediately begin on another.
I can’t seem to stop myself long enough to write the reviews.

DEATH SIGHT by David Bain
A Will Castleton Novel
Will Castleton is a paranormal detective that mixes crime with the supernatural.
Will Castleton is from my home state of Michigan, so, of course, that adds a little something extra. 🙂
I love the cover and it makes me want to dive right in!
(page 56% on Kindle)
“I know. You corrected everybody. You corrected Brooks Welling, the quarterback…Not ‘buffalo’, you told him – boo – foo – low!”
Boo-foo was Green River speak for butt-fucking,” Will said.
(You will have to read more to get the joke)
(Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a really good tease, so I decided to share a little bit of the writers sense of humor in his writing)

(Book Beginnings)
The dark stared at him with dark, empty, accusing sockets that formerly held their eyes.
Will’s feet were rooted in a nightlit desert.
A full moon. A dry, coppery odor to the air. Cacti. Rocks. Low dunes rising out of the ankle-deep water – for the desert was also the shore of an infinite sea.
One of him. Hundreds of them – everyone who would now die because he was still alive, all the ghosts hw would ever create, ever encounter.

SYNOPSIS
Hospitalized after drowning during a rescue attempt, newly graduated U.S. Marshal Will Castleton is besieged by visions of a hulking executioner torturing a bound man.
A perilous race against time leaves Will broken, unsure if he even wants to join the marshals.
Escaping to his Michigan hometown, Will finds his father dying, a young woman’s ghost desperate to communicate with him, and a biker kingpin out to make a statement by taking out local law enforcement’s golden boy.
Here is a free paranormal short story from David Bain.

Thanks for visiting fundinmental!
The opening definitely sets the scene — eerie and threatening. I enjoy suspenseful stories that include humor to provide a little relief from the tension.
My Friday post features FETCHING LOVE.
Me too. This is a great book and I am looking forward to reading all of David’s work. I love PNR.
This sounds like an intense and exciting series. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Thanks for stopping in Laurel. Happy reading.
I never read this author before, but the book sounds really good.
If you like PNR, David is an author you will want to check out. I hope you picked up the very short freebie for a sample of his work.
I do wonder what the water aspect of the cover has to do with the book…very curious.
If you pick up the free copy of Island Ghosts you will see why the water is so important to David Bain’s adventures of Will Castleton.
I’ll have to give this a try. I love the premise and the excerpts are entertaining! Thanks for posting the link to freebie. I’ll go check that out!
I look forward to hearing what you think. Happy reading.
Death Sight sounds like it has a lot of potential as a new urban fantasy series – I’ll have to look into it! Thanks for sharing!
Here’s mine.
I am loving Will Castleton’s adventures. I have another of David Bain’s books that I will be shouting out about in the future.
I grabbed the freebie, it dies sound like a good series!
Happy weekend!
LOL Y0u cracked me up! I have the short story. I think I’ll add it to my reading challenge so I’m sure to read it. These sound great!
It was the best think at 56% and it made me laugh too. LOL
Well, that definitely made me laugh! Ha ha ha! Boo-foo!
LOL. I thought it was super funny too. Always happy to share the laughs.
