Ok.  I'm hooked.  Just the right amount of color with natural dialog and building investment in what will follow.  The landscape is unique yet gives a feeling of familiarity that helps the reader slide right in to the story.

I love it when I stumble across a new author who can pull me in so quickly and knowing that the the initial draft is so far along is icing on the cake.  All this book needs is to get readers to take a peek.
