Even though I would read the book no matter how it started, the opening for "Demon Hunts", Number five in a series by C.E. Murphy, was a grabber. I said "whoa fast start this time". It was right in the middle of something, very quickly Murphy described what the something was.

Basically its states that Someone had chewed on a body. Then it goes into a short dissertation on how Walker, the MC, knew it was a someone not a something. At the end of the somewhat short paragraph you know, if you hadn't figured it out, it was a human body and that she knew his name.

Actually I thought it was a tad long for an opening, and that it continued info anyone following the series would know, but at the same time it got across info the reader needed in Walker's style. I mean Walker the MC, its First person and she definitely has her own way of thinking through things. It was a bit educational also, in a gross way.
