The book that I am currently reading, which is "Kissing the Rain" by Kevin Brooks.
"His head and shoulders move back, like he's trying to get me in focus, then he reaches out a hand -- and just for a second I think he's gonna whop me... but no... it's all right, he's just..." (Brooks 112)
This is a suspenseful part of the story when Moo is walking through the park and detective Callan walks out of nowhere and comes towards Moo. This builds up suspense because Moo doesn't know what Callan is going to do to him when he gets closer. The story is told from a first-person perspective of Moo, and he doesn't know what is going to happen, so the reader doesn't know what is going to happen. This creates suspense as the reader anticipates what will happen next.
The setting is in a park with no one around, which makes it more suspenseful because if Callan tries to attack Moo, there is no one around to help. The mood during this part of the story is frightening and scary, because Moo doesn't know what is going on and earlier in the story, there is foreshadowing done that makes you expect a confrontation like this one.
