Teaser Tuesdays

"'In the light of day I began to remember the dreams. Just flashes at first. Geoff giving me a thumbs-up from across a white room with black desks. A large red-numbered clock counting down the time as my fingers manipulated three blue wires. A girl screaming.'" - The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau (Pg 32, ARC)

"After the fire started, we escaped to the big soccer stadium. All around us the city burned; even the mountain was on fire. The smoke was so thick in the air that many of us were struggling to breathe. And the air was hot, like it was the middle of summer. But the heavy smoke meant that we did not have to see the horrible things on the roads..." - Deadlands by Lily Herne

Teaser Tuesdays

I flattened my hands on my thigh, wiping them as if they were dirty. "Next time, ask."

"Ask?"

"Before you posses somebody." My voice was harsh, because I still couldn't quite get over what I was saying.

"I did ask," she said. Surprise lit her face.

"No you didn't."

Mab reached out her hands, palms up. "I asked if you trusted me. You said yes." (The Blood Keeper by Tessa Gratton, Pg 186, ARC)

"For the smell of burning wood and plastic, of smoldering phillies shirts and baby photos. For sirens and screams. For anything at all that hinted at fire.
For Dad." (Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza)

Red Glove by Holly Black

 

TEASER:

 

"I'm sorry if I'm horrible," she says, her mouth moving against my sleeve. "I'm really nervous."

 

"I thought we already established that I like it when you're horrible," I say under my breath, picking up the slushies.

Trial by Fire by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

TEASER:

 A reply was on the tip of my tongue, but before I could press Caroline to tell me how she could call my pack monsters, given what her coven had done to a battered teenage boy, a single note, haunting and low, made its way to my ears, and suddenly, whatever I was going to say didn't seem nearly so important.

Divergent by Veronica Roth
