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:
Outre
Deviation Trilogy #1
by D. J. Adamson
Genre: Mystery / Science Fiction
From 56% in the eBook.
I’d go up to my room and lay in bed. Pretend I’d gone to bed instead of looked out the window. Imagined a night without the storm. Sometimes, I’d even fall asleep and wake up. But nothing had changed.
From what I gathered at this scene, there was a strange storm and Jack’s mother and sister went missing. For some reason he and his dad don’t sleep in the house now. They sleep in a tent outside. I’m getting so curious!

I came across this on Bookbub and was immediately intrigued by the synopsis. It raised questions and I wanted answers. Plus, it has such a wicked cover!
What do you think? Does the synopsis hook you too? What do you think of the cover?

Synopsis
Outré is the first book in a trilogy titled Deviation. The trilogy offers different perspectives on what happened in Pinkerton, Iowa, in the year 1989. The goal of Outré is to take one event (a tornado), add another set of events (women missing, people dead, animal mutilations, the possibility of aliens and alien abduction, others different than the norm) and come to a perspective of what could have happened.
This is Jack Cahill’s account. Fifteen-year-old Jack Cahill, along with his friends Pitts and Diddleman, are lead to believe it was not a tornado that destroyed a large area of Pinkerton but an alien abduction. Their “need to know” sets them on a quest of speculation, accusation, and investigation.
The concept for the trilogy comes from the question: Can we ever be sure that our perception of things is right?
