It’s been a while since I’ve done a Tuesday Intro post but given that I have some new books I thought it was a good time to join First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea. Here’s the first chapter intro:
“Ten years ago, I helped a handful of men take my little brother’s life. I wasn’t there when it happened, but I told Luthando where to find them. Earlier that year, my brother and I had made a pact to combine our initiation ceremonies. This was back in 1993.”
This intro is from The Reactive by Masande Ntshanga. From Publisher’s Weekly: “Gritty and revealing Ntshanga’s debut novel offers a brazen portrait of present day South Africa. This is an eye-opening, ambitious novel”
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
I want to finish at least one book before I start another but this one will probably be next up on my list.
Wow! That is pretty intense!
I hope you can stop by:

WOW, that is quite an intro. It makes me curious for more.
That opener really pulls you in.
Okay, I want to know why this happened? I’m definitely curious. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine:
“IN HER WAKE”
I don’t know that I could keep reading. It seems rather bleak,
Whoa, would definitely keep reading!
I have so many questions after reading the intro you shared, Iliana! That’s definitely a good sign. I hope you like this one.
That’s an intriguing opening! While I’d hate to read about someone taking a child’s life, I’ll admit that the book’s opening made me curious.
My Tuesday post features MIAMI MORNING.
Wow, that intro sure attract my attention! Hope you enjoy the book. 🙂
