Peak curiosity. Raise questions... Will your readers wonder why? If not, then rewrite it so they will...
Add a secret...
Always end at a place where the reader will wonder what will happen next... Does the last line of chapter one hook you? If not, why not? Rewrite it so the reader will want to know more....
withhold... valuable information... If you{r readers} already know, then there is no suspense.

You don't need to end with big cliffhangers; small nagging questions and rising tension towards new/different problems are great.
