Teaser Tuesday: The Passage by Justin Cronin

I ended up inadvertently having a couple of blogging free days over the weekend. Suddenly had a lack of inspiration, but I already have ideas for my weekend posts so maybe I just need a mini break or something. Of course, the lack of blogging time could be directly related to the fact that I wasn't home much.

Last week I shared the opening lines of The Passage by Justin Cronin for the Book Beginnings on Friday meme. I did get to read for awhile, but I am still reading it, so I thought that I would share more from the book for Teaser Tuesday. So far, I am enjoying this book a lot. One of the things that I am finding though is that as soon as I think I have figured out what is going on, then something changes. That's not a bad thing, just an observation.

My teaser comes from page 246:

When daybreak found him he would be no more. Amy, he thought as the stars began to fall, everywhere and all around; and he tried to fill his mind with just her name, his daughter's name, to help him from his life.

Amy, Amy, Amy.

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!
