Smakebit på søndag: Pretty Girl-13

Bild lånad från bokus,
finns även på svenska

Söndag rent tekniskt, och nästan sängdags, men först en liten smakbit ur Liz Coleys bok Pretty Girl-13. Började på den ikväll och har hunnit halvvägs, än så länge är den riktigt bra! Den handlar om Angela som är ute på campingtrip med scouterna och blir bortrövad. Tre år senare står hon framför sitt hus igen, omedveten om tiden som förflutit och vad hon egentligen har varit med om:

     An unexpected weight tugged at her left hand - just a plastic grocery bag. Where was her camping gear? She hefted the bag to look inside, and that was when the strangeness hit her. She dropped it in surprise and studied her left hand. Something was really wrong here. This wasn't her hand. Those weren't her fingers. These fingers were longer, thinner than they were supposed to be. And a strange silver ring circled the middle finger. The skin was dry and rough. Dark scars circled the wrists like bracelets. She turned over her right hand, studying unfamiliar cracks and calluses on her palm. She clenched it experimentally. It felt... wrong.
     Angie frowned and spun to look again behind her. How had she gotten here? She didn't remember walking this way. She was just... in the woods?

Fler smakbitar finns på Maris blogg. Ha en trevlig söndag :)
