Blurb
College
freshman Estelle Wright has it all: a superpower, a flying horse, and a hunky
boyfriend. All is threatened when her old enemy swears revenge, ruthless
killers target Atalanta, and Toby is under pressure to dump her. But, Estelle’s
knack of finding trouble scuttles his plans. Their lives are at stake and they face
agonizing decisions. The wrong choice will lead to disaster.
Their meals arrived and Toby
tackled the burger with his usual gusto. While he was occupied with the food,
Estelle chewed slowly and stared around the pub. A man entering drew her
attention by his formal attire of a dark suit and tie, unlike the regular
customers in their casual clothes. A short beard and dark glasses hid the
stranger’s expression. He strolled to the bar and stared at the rows of bottles
on the mirrored wall.
Estelle nudged Toby, “Don’t look
yet. He just came in.”
“Who?” Toby mumbled through a
mouthful of fries.

Yes, who? Everyone is teasing me with their posts so far. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the idea?
DeleteI have the feeling it's not the bottles he's interested in, but the reflection in the mirror.
ReplyDeleteCorrect!
DeleteMouthful of fries - such a nice characteristic of a teenager.
ReplyDeleteHe's in his twenties, but he needs to feed those muscles.
DeleteToby's chowing down, missing an important detail. Typical guy. :-) Wonder what the stranger is up to?
ReplyDeleteMissing the stranger is unlike Toby.
DeleteGood use of details to make the scene come alive! Intriguing excerpt indeed...
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWho is that well-dressed man! And now I want a burger and fries at 9 o'clock in the morning! ;-)

Why not? Don't you have leftover pizza for breakfast?
DeleteGreat visuals. You make me hungry, and I just ate. I'm curious about the man. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of details, and I'm with others in thinking his interest is not in the bottles.
ReplyDeleteYou're correct.
DeleteWho, indeed?
ReplyDeleteHe has a cat too!
DeleteYes indeed, WHO? I take it this guy is a threat and perhaps they need to plan a way to get out of there quickly. (I'm quite sure I mentioned this last leek for some reason, but I love the cover for Book 2 also.)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWonderful scene. I need a burger.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that my snippet made you hungry!
DeleteStupid aside...I was reading this and hubby yells from the kithen, "I'm making a burger, you want one?" Anyway, I thought the details made the scene come to life, and like others I too wondered who the mysterious stranger was and who he was looking for as he was obviously out of place...
ReplyDeleteHahaha that's an awesome coincidence.
DeleteTimely!
DeleteAll the teasing, lol! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea!
DeleteI'm definitely suspicious of him. Great snippet! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWho??? Who just came in?? Ha! Nice cliffhanger, Aurora. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was my idea to stop there!
DeleteWho just walked in. Gotta know. :)
ReplyDeleteNext week! It may not help.
DeleteI was waiting for him to look after all :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, who .... can't wait to find out.
Next weekend!
DeleteI love how Toby is just interested in eating. Good visuals. And yes I am curious what the strager was staring at.
ReplyDeleteToby has to sustain those muscles!
DeleteWHO??? Way to leave us hanging.
ReplyDeleteWhen I can, I do!
DeleteI'm with Karen. Who walked in I must know!!! Sorry for the super late response.
ReplyDeleteRead this week's snippet to learn the answer!
