Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from
Brood X
by Michael Phillip Cash
My 56 is actually from page 5 and 6.
Page 5
There was no way Chet was going outside. Instead he rolled on his squeaky chair 0ver to the door and opened it to survey the chaos. The sounds of screams filled the small security room.
Page 6
The door knob jiggled then turned, and both men swiveled to face the portal, fear written all over their faces. No one ever came to security. Not ever.

Synopsis
Seth is laid off from work. His wife Lara just found out they are expecting a baby this summer. Seth plans on documenting the entire pregnancy with his brand new digital camcorder.
During an evening home watching television, the news reports that a swarm of cicada (Brood Ten) are expected to overwhelm the entire Northeast.
Brood Ten is vicious and ready to invade.
During a sweltering summer night, Brood Ten emerges and wreaks havoc with the electric grid, phone and cell service, wi-fi, food and water supply. Civilization as they know it is gone.
Seth and Lara are thrown back to the stone age in their own home with trillions of cicada trying to deposit their eggs and breed.
Fast paced and filled with tension, Brood Ten is the perfect summer read when you’re sitting outside listening to the cicadas sing.

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
Leave your link and I’ll drop by your 56.
How very creepy! I hope you are enjoying the book. My 56 comes from Primal Force by D. D. Ayres. Happy reading!
It sure is! I love creepy! Thanks for stopping by!
This one sounds to yikes for me. Enjoy! http://lisaksbookthoughts.blogspot.com/
It does get pretty crazy. LOL Thanks for checking out my post:)
Well now that sounds kind of interesting. I am curious to see you review of that one. 🙂

I’ll be reviewing it soon. Part of my Halloween list. Have a great weekend, Stormi!
Sounds freaky! I don’t know if I could handle it. 🙂
It gets pretty intense. I loved it! Thanks for coming over for my post:)
How frightening! An attack of cicadas is not something anyone would want. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Bugs give me the creeps and these are huge! LOL I enjoyed your 56 too:)
The cover is unsettling to me. Flies are really gross and an insect invasion is now my greatest fear…. so thanks for the nightmares. 😛
(Although I see a quick way to kill a lot of those bugs; flame throwers would solve the problem pretty fast.)
Sorry about that! LOL A flame thrower would work in some cases and you are pretty close with that!
I have this is in my TBR pile but it might be too creepy for me.
It might not be but then it might! I like creepy though:) Thanks for checking out my 56!
Quit teasing me with these awesome books. 🙂

LOL YOu know I’ll bring them over for ya!
I haven’t heard of this book before, but wow, talk about intense. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I’ve had it on my TBR for a while and then I won the paperback so I read it straight through one night. Scary good! Thank you for stopping by:)
*shivers*ooh this sounds creeptastic.
You said it! LOL
I’d be blocking that door if I was those guys!
The dreaded cicada–they appear in my area every 17 years and they are hideous. There’s no way I’d read a book about them.
You’d probably not enjoy this as they are endless and huge. This story might take place in your area too. We get them here but not like the ones in this book. Thanks for stopping by!
This sounds rather ew. I’m not a fan of bugs, they usually end up dead in my presence. Now I feel all squeamish…
Sorry about the heebie jeebies! This did have me itching. LOL
This sounds creepy and I am intrigued. I hope you are enjoying it. I would love to hear your thoughts on it when you are through.
I finished it in one sitting and had a blast! I’ll be reviewing it for my Halloween list. Thanks for checking out my 56:)
BTW, here is my Friday 56
http://totallyaddictedtoreading.blogspot.com/2015/09/friday-5611.html
Intense snippets!! Pregnancy is quite a journey, let alone surrounded by more action. This sounds like a nail biter, for sure. Have a great weekend!
Yeah, they have a lot to contend with and that baby won’t wait! Enjoy your holiday weekend too:)
Sounds like one of those books where you ask yourself if it could somehow happen. Creepy!
My Friday post features True Believer.
Could it? LOL I wonder after reading this and then googling some stuff about these critters.
Very cool and creeptastic snippets!! LOVE It!
I really enjoyed the book trailer too. Not like the snippets at all.
Happy weekend!
Freda’s Voice
I wanted to have something different from the trailer. This book is intense and fun!
Sounds intense 🙂
Boy, is it ever!
Creepy. Those things are so loud down here in the summer.
Yeah, we have some this year. Keep finding the nasty things in my pool strainer. I won’t touch them, just scoop them out with a long pole even though they’re dead. LOL
Oooh, Brood X looks good!
It is, Jennifer. My kind of reading for sure!
If I were one of those security guards I’d be pushing everything heavy in front of the door. Wicked scary!
Me too. Who knows what’s happening out there and what the person or persons trying to get in will do.
