HUMP DAY HOOK: Welcome to the 8th Hump Day Hook of 2013. In this blog hop, each author posts one paragraph from a book or WIP. This week you can find us at the HDH page on Facebook.
This snippet is from the unedited Guardian of the Deep (Wytchfae 2), scheduled to be published in June:
“Samael.” Damn it, her voice shook.
He halted the stallion within a few feet of her as she lay sprawled in the shallow water. She flinched at the look he tossed her from beneath his wide-brimmed Stetson. It wasn’t the heated gaze he usually gave her, the one that melted her insides and made it hard to breathe. No, this was the distant stare of a stranger. A cold stranger with her lover’s face.
Powerful hook. I could feel the coldness of his stare as he looked at her. Great descriptors!
Love it great description!!
Oh, why the sudden change? What happened to him? Great hook! 🙂
Love the description of his look, especially the last line. Great hook! 🙂
Oh, very intriguing. I want to know why he turned so cold 🙁
Aww, poor thing. Wonder what happened to make that so?
I wonder what happened between them to make him act as a stranger. A very intriguing hook, Flossie.
Samael in a Stetson – I wouldn’t have put that name with that hat 🙂 Fascinating hook.
Ooh, that was intriguing! Why was she sprawled in a pool and why would her lover be so distant? I’m hooked!
Very interesting clip, Flossie!
Uh oh! Why so cold???? Great hook!
I wonder why he’s so distant? What happened between them to make him so cold? Wow, great hook!
I’m with Elin…I would never have thought to put a cowboy hat on someone with that name, lol, very creative. Great hook, with beautiful descriptive language and full of tension and emotion. Gods, that last sentence really got me. *tears up*
