BookBeginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader, and The Friday 56 - hosted by Freda’s Voice both host sites for Friday link ups, where we discover more books, and make friends. Both involve sharing excerpts from a current book - the beginning and - you guessed it - page 56.
I've got a cracker this week. (Click the cover for the Goodreads blurb)
I know JT Lawrence from The Underachieving Ovary, and the first book in this series - Why You Were Taken, and I love her writing. "A rabbit hole quilled with xlinks" is a new favourite quote of mine - just brilliant!
Go on, what's not to like? A futuristic novel, set in my home city - Johannesburg. A tense, gripping page turning thriller, great writing and loads of fun. Review just posted.
Oh, and did I mention that for a short while it's 99c on Amazon? (So is the first one, if you're anal like me, and you have to do these things in order.)
Have a lovely weekend, and hope you get some reading done. Tell me what in the comments, and I'll pop over.

Oh, your quotes are very intriguing. I see this is a second book which implies you enjoyed the first. I best look around for this one.
My Friday Quotes
Someone else posted quotes from this book a few weeks ago. The beginning sounds like a familiar problem (getting lost surfing the internet) set in the future. Would like to see how it develops from there.
Sounds like an intriguing story.
Hi Bev!
Your quotes are great, but I think the book alone is intriguing enough. Great find!
Here's my current read: http://bit.ly/2qxXXYr

I'm familiar with that rabbit hole. :-)

I think I've been in that rabbit hole! Sounds good....and here's mine: “THE PEOPLE AT NUMBER 9”
Sounds like a good dystopian read. Love the groovy cover too! I added you to the Linky. Happy weekend!
I loved the first one, Anne Why You were Taken. And there are links from this post to my review.
You too!
Thanks Freda! And thanks for hosting.
A cracker? Like an explosively good one? 😊
