Wait Until Twilight
Daryl plans on killing your babies. He’s been hurting them.
When She Flew
They’d arrange a physical for Lindy, a mental-health evaluation and find she was a normal, or above average, healthy thirteen-year-old. Jess knew when something wasn’t right between parent and child – she’d witnessed it hundreds of times (especially in her own household) – and this was not one of those cases.

I am a sixteen-year-old boy in a small southern town. I have just seen some deformed triplets and I can’t get them out of my mind. (Wait Until Twilight)
I am also a police officer in Portland, Oregon, trying to find an adolescent girl seen in the woods. (When She Flew)
And I’m a teenage boy in Northern Ireland who discovered a young girl’s body – dating around the Iron Age -in the bog. My older brother is in prison for IRA activities, and is on a hunger strike. (Bog Child by Siobhan Dowd – on audio)

Sandy – Wait Until Twilight has a very sinister feel to it – I’m not very far into it, but it gives me the willies!
I love the first teaser–so direct and to the point! I can’t remember the last time I posted a teaser that followed the guidelines of being only two sentences.

Stephanie – Sometimes I post more than two sentences, too, if it’s needed to give a more complete sense of the passage.
The first teaser was just scary.

Crazy teasers! I think they both are very interesting statements of major problems – in different styles. Great choices!
