This week my teaser comes from Firelight by Sophie Jordan.

This week my teaser comes from The Black Book of Secrets by F.E. Higgins.



"The church bell sounded at midnight as Horatio pulled his coat closer and raised his fist to the door.  The pale half-moon watched quietly as he dithered, in two minds whether to knock.  He hadn't meant to come and he didn't really understand why he was here, but as midnight approached his restless feet has taken him out of the door and up the hill." Pg. 95

Here it is: "The first of humanity lay as if dead in the cool semidarkness of the underground chamber and dreamed of another time - of the Garden, of what he had lost to the poison of original sin. It had been so very long ago, but the memories lingered, as sharp as a viper's tooth and three times as venomous." Pg. 1

This week my teaser comes from The Clockwork Three by Matthew Kirby.

This week my teaser comes from "The Dead and the Gone" (Last Survivors, Book 2) by Susan Beth Pfeffer.  I have been enjoying this book but not as much as Life as We Knew It.  Still it is a solid read, see the teaser below.


Here it is: "Alex pushed an elderly man onto the street.  He could feel the man's fingers crunch under his shoe as he grabbed Julie.  Holding on to her as tightly as he could, he used her almost as a battering ram, making a path through the mob until they could run freely toward Central Park."  Pg. 128

This week my Teaser comes from Behemoth (Leviathan, Book 2) by Scott Westerfeld.  I absolutely loved Leviathan and this book has been just as wonderful so far.

Here it is: "Fingers of lightening, jagged and colossal, shot up from the Tesla cannon.  They stretched across the whole sky at first, a tree of white fire, then leapt toward the Leviathan as if drawn by scent.  The lightening spread a fiery web across the airbeast's skin, a dazzling wave that surged down its length." Pg. 30
