This week my teaser comes from Bloodshot
by Cherie Priest.
Here it is: "You wouldn't believe some of the weird shit people pay me to steal. Old things, new things. Expensive things, rare things, gross things. Lately it's been naughty things." Pg 3
This made me giggle and blush. Great teaser from what looks like a good book. Here's my teaser
ReplyDeleteLove that teaser! Happy Reading!

Great teaser! I just won this book at LibrarThing's Early Reviewers but I haven't received it yet. Now I really want it! I have two teasers this week. My YA teaser is from Trickster's Girl by Hilari Bell and my adult teaser is from Wolfsbane by Patricia Briggs. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser from Witchgrass: A Pipe Dream by Dave Wilkinson (Page 1):
ReplyDeleteMost gardeners hate witchgrass. Of all weeds it is one of the most persistent and adaptable. Any small piece of rhizome left in the soil can become an aggressive plant ready to take over the plot. Witchgrass is hard to pull. Roots are deep, and break off easily. Any part left in the ground will grow again. Farmers say the species isn't even good as hay, not as good as timothy or alfalfa. Some call it quickgrass.
Early New England colonists blamed evil people for this garden invader. In the seventeenth century villagers would speak this way:
"The surly woman living alone on her dead husband's estate. She goes into the woods and consorts with the Devil. Signs his book. Fornicates with him. Eats mushrooms. She and the Devil send witchgrass to harass the virtuous and the Godly. Let us hang this witch and seize her rich farm."
