Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Between Decisions (The City Between #8) by W.R. Gingell

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring Between Decisions (The City Between #8) by W.R. Gingell

About the Book
Life is complicated.

I mean, life has always been complicated, but there’s a difference between monsters-are-trying-to-kill-you complications and monsters-are-in-love-with-you complications. I’m still not sure which is more dangerous.

G’day. I’m Pet. Two-thirds of a pet, anyway: the vampire isn’t claiming ownership these days, but he’s definitely encroaching. On the list of other encroaching complications is the threat of heirling trials, a certain fae lord, and a mysterious librarian—not to mention the thing that’s killing people on Hobart’s waterfront…

One day, I’ll have a normal life. Today is not that day.

Book Beginnings
Housemates can be a handful. Mine more than most, but that's to be expected when two are fae and one's a vampire.

Friday 56
"Don't know how you lot lived without me," I said. "Isn't it fun when all the stuff you thought you knew might not be true?"

What have you been reading lately?

  4. When I was in college, some of my roommates were quite a handful too--although none where vampires or fae. At least I don't think so. ;-) I have been wanting to try W.R. Gingell's series forever. I think I have the first book on my TBR shelf. It sounds like something I would really enjoy. I hope you have a great weekend, Ashley!
