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:

My 56 from the Paperback

She thought she had made her decision, but why was she apprehensive? She was tempted to close her eyes, but staggered up and gazed out through the bungalow’s curtains at the woods behind. Hunting owls flickered like ghosts in the moonlight, their quavering hoots spurring her to prioritize her aching body.

Read on if you want to know more.

Synopsis

In Canada, researcher Armand Sabatier witnesses what could be the murder of groom Odette Fedon, but traumatic images from his past smother his memory, and a snowstorm buries the evidence. Harassed by nightmares but fighting through them, Armand remembers the crime a few months later. By then he is in England, where he is dragged into a plot involving international sport horse breeding.

Suspecting everyone around him, Armand is forced to brave the past that he has kept buried. But what made Armand leave France? Where did he learn to survive and fight for justice? Why is the English rider Carly Tanner treading the same path as the first victim, Odette?

Can he save Carly before he has more blood on his hands?

      It sure does sound exciting. I’m leaning towards the paperback cover too. Though I love those hoof prints in the eBook cover.

  9. I am intrigued! This sounds like it will be a very intense book. I hope you enjoy it! I am not sure which of the two covers I like more.

    Have a great weekend and thank you for sharing!

      I’m intrigued by this story too. I’m torn about the covers. Both work well for the synopsis. But that bold cover with the horse and rider is winning me over:)

  11. Ooo… horses, I love horses! I love the cover on the left, too.
