  3. Like it - would read on. Nice if a little more individual. 'until it was someone you'd loved/hated/stalked' for example.

    I'd keep reading.

  7. Not hooked. I think it would work better for me if the info was reversed.

  8. I'm on the fence about this one. The title throws me off because of J.D. Robb's highly popular series, the titles which are all "_____ In Death".

  10. hooked. First line does catch the eye. Doesn't let you slide by too quickly.

  11. Almost hooked--I liked the opening, but the second line felt like it would finish with a too-common set up for a crime scene opening (detective/officers examining the body/arriving on the scene/whatever) so it would depend a lot on the voice and actual scene for me to read on.
