The novel, The Third Eye, written by Lois Duncan is a real cliffhanger. The book tells the story from a girl perspective, Karen. Karen is an 18-year old that has visions, but her “gift” might bring danger to her family.

Another example would be, “Then, abruptly , the atmosphere was shattered by the crash of a screen door and a volley of wild barking. A small black and white terrier burst out of the house and a came hurling across the the yard to throw itself full force against the side of the car.” In my mind I can picture the terroir come running out of the house.
