as a reader i like a little hook at the end of the chapter especially if your chapters alternate the pov of several characters.
the biggest sin imo is foreshadowing. it doesn't happen very often but any book whose chapters end with 'little did they know x was going to happen' gets thrown across the room. its painfully corny.
at the very least an interesting, if not bombastic and exciting, opening is a must. if your book bores me immediately or starts with an info-dump, it gets thrown across the room.
