Friday Firsts is a new meme that runs every Friday over on Tenacious Reader. The idea is to feature the first few sentences/paragraph of your current book and try and outline your first impressions as a result. This is a quick and easy way to share a snippet of information about your current read and to perhaps tempt others.  Stop on by and link up with Tenacious Reader.    This Friday I’m reading : A Matter of Blood (The Dog-Faced Gods #1) by Sarah Pinborough

It’s the little things that count.

Carla Rae’s cooling body was testament to that.  Her wide eyes no longer shone as the drying surfaces became sticky.  With no further call to pump through the lifeless veins, her blood settled heavily in her limbs.  The cheap electric clock on the bedside table ticked the minutes away, moving on from the moment of her death without even a hitching breath of hesitation.  The world continued.  Twenty-five-year-old Carla Rae didn’t.  There would be no twenty-sixth birthday.  The inner mechanics of her body were accepting that, even if in the dying moments her mind had raged against the inevitability.

Tick tock.  Silent-body-clock stopped.

My First Impressions

Pretty chilling to be honest.  I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read so far by Sarah Pinborough so I decided to backtrack and, as it’s the season to be scary, I though this would fit the bill nicely.

What you reading this Friday??  What are your first impressions??
