She leaned back against the lockers and grabbed the ends of the towel around her neck. I nodded and stared down at the blisters on my hands from climbing the obstacles. “The problem is you’re trying too hard to make them like you.” I looked up. “Shouldn’t a team get along?” “Teamwork doesn’t require friendship. It requires everyone to do their jobs.” She pointed at me. “It requires trust and confidence that all members will hold their own when shit goes down.”

This sounds like it would be good! What's she training for? Teamwork… maybe military?
Good pick 🙂
I'm curious what happened earlier in this scene. Love that cover and always happy to find a new author.

Good points! This one does sound exciting and intense. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
I'll have to look for this. I've read the Prospero's War novels. You can see my posts at #27 and #28 on Freda's linky. Happy reading!
How interesting, I'm like the cover!
Interesting beginning. I'm wondering how teamwork ties in to the book's title and cover. I'm intrigued.
My Friday post features The Runaway Quilt.
This does sound exciting. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I love that teamwork quote.
That's an interesting passage and a different take on teamwork (which I kinda agree with).
My Friday 56.
Good point about teamwork. Nice snippet.
Very true. I have to wonder if there's demons involved somehow, based on the cover.
Happy weekend!
