a good story/novel/book shouldn't have to have a "suddenly" to get surprise from the reader. a lot of times all it takes is timing. they're going along, doing their regular thing and then something happens. it usually helps to make your first sentence (the one you want to surprise people, remember?) a short one. somehow this adds to the dramatic effect. if that isn't working for you, try making it something your reader never thought would happen in a million years.
