Here is a fun Six Sentences from “Crux” by Julie Reece. This is a fun YA Novel with a paranormal twist and a really hot guy (The girl’s cute to for anyone who feels left out)
This scene happens during a high-speed car chase where our hero and heroine are running for their lives from the bad guys. Told in first person present, the main character is in the passenger seat.

When he tugs the wheel to the right, I lose my balance.
My hand juts out, and I brace myself against his upper thigh; his muscles flex beneath his dark jeans, and with blood rising up my neck to sear my cheeks, I pull my hand back as fast as gravity allows.
“Oh, I’m sorry!”
“Don’t apologize.” He cuts in front of a Dodge minivan. “That’s the most fun I’ve had all day.”

Tee Hee. This is a great couple written with a lost of chemistry.


I loved this book and especially enjoyed that scene. Thanks for sharing.
I downloaded this book right after I read your review and finished in about 2 days. I really liked it but I wish it was longer. It just felt a bit rushed to me. I do hope there is a sequel; Birdie and Grey are a great couple and I’d love to see their characters fleshed out more.
