The first sentence from each chapter of Clarity, it's a mini summary of what you can expect to read.

  1. You do realize that anyone who follows you in your feed reader can probably see that spoiler? I'm glad that I actually have already read this book before seeing this post because you can be sure I'd be pretty pissed to see all this give away text if I hadn't.

  2. Thanks for your comment and concern, I checked and the only way you're going to see the spoiler is if you highlight over the covered part of the text and I tell you that at the beginning of the Sneak Peek that if you don't want to know the spoiler then you should not do that.

    I say what the Sneak Peek is right at the very top of the page, the first sentence from each chapter of CLARITY. It's intended as a mini summary of the book and I covered up the only major spoiler, I don't think knowing the first sentences from each chapter should ruin the book for anyone.
