Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This is my choice of the day:
Desolation – Book 2 of The Demon Road trilogy by Derek Landy
1%: It was safe in here. None of these people wanted to kill her. She was getting good at spotting the telltale signs.
BLURB: Reeling from their bloody encounter in New York City at the end of Demon Road, Amber and Milo flee north. On their trail are the Hounds of Hell – five demonic bikers who will stop at nothing to drag their quarries back to their unholy master.
Amber and Milo’s only hope lies within Desolation Hill – a small town with a big secret; a town with a darkness to it, where evil seeps through the very floorboards. Until, on one night every year, it spills over onto the streets and all hell breaks loose.
And that night is coming…
I hadn’t PLANNED on reviewing this book – but when those nice people at NetGalley told me I was auto-approved and I looked twice at the cover, I somehow couldn’t resist. Yes… I know, I know – I’ve cheated, I’ve posted THREE sentences instead of TWO. And? They’re short sentences. So, bite me. Um – erm – no… please don’t! What I meant to say was…
A review will be along shortly, given this book is due to be published on 7th April.
I keep seeing Demon Road and thought about getting it but just wasn’t sure for some reason. If you’re reading the second does that mean you enjoyed the first?
My teaser this week is from Jane Steele which I absolutely loved and would definitely recommend for the writing alone.

lol… no – it means that I’m reading them out of sequence! That said, I’m now into the 2nd book and it seems well written, with plenty of tension and an interesting puzzle, so I’m finding it an entertaining read:). I’m just about to check out your TT – it sounds great!
I always post more than two sentences … oh well.
Wondering why people want to kill her. I sometimes post more than 2 as well. This week my teaser is from Quick and the Dead a mystery by Susan Moody.
I’m not sure about running into her in a
sherry @ fundinmental My TT dark alley. I think she can give as good as she gets.
Thank you for swinging by – yes… I think she can take care of herself, but I’ll let you know in due course. I did check out your TT – my goodness, that was a doozy of a teaser! I would have commented, but every time I try to post a comment on your site, my WordPress profile has a hissy fit and I can’t get it to open:(. Doesn’t stop me visiting, though…
Nice teaser. It really makes me curious about the book. This week it is an historical romance – Luck Is No Lady by Amy Sandas – on my adult blog. Happy reading!
Thank you! It’s an engaging, enjoyable read, so far:).
I cheat all the time on posting more than two sentences. LOL
This does sound like a good book. I can see why you couldn’t resist it!
Thank you! I haven’t done it before – but I needed the extra just to complete the scene:).
I’m not much into fantasy, magic, etc., but this sounds like an interesting plot. I can see why the cover appealed to you.
My Tuesday post features a mystery thriller: THE SHADOW CARTEL.
Thank you for swinging by Sandra – I enjoyed your TT, the description was very evocative and I hope you go on enjoying your book.
Ooh, this sounds so good! I’ve not read this author, but need to fix that soon. I often use more than 2 sentences. I think I did today. LOL
Thanks for visiting my teaser. I had to come see when you mentioned demons!
I think the number of sentences is just a guideline, with exceptions used all the time. LOL.
This one is probably not for me, but I can feel your excitement…and the teaser pulled me in. Thanks for visiting my blog.
You’re welcome – and I’m glad the number of sentences is a guideline:)
This sounds without doubt like a very interesting read! I like that it’s about demons and not about the more common vampires/witches/zombies/werewolves.
And so far, it’s cracking along at a fair clip, with plenty of oddness and intrigue:)
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one to “cheat” and include more than two sentences!!! Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, right?!? You had me a “demons”! Syfy/Fantasy and mysteries are my favorite genres. My teaser is from the first in a series I just discovered by Nancy Atherton. http://abookaddictsview.blogspot.com/2016/04/teaser-tuesday.html
Absolutely! I loved you cosy mystery with a dash of cat and paranormal…
This book sounds like great fun!! I’d definitely be inclined to check it out 😀
Beware the Hounds of Hell! Not my usual fare, but could work for a change of pace – a faster one it appears.
Oh yes – definitely fast and furious… And certainly not to everyone’s taste, but it is well written, well crafted and full of adventure, with some enjoyable splashes of humour:)
Wonder where she is! Sounds like an intense read, hope you’re enjoying it!
It was great fun, actually, Cyn. Though I suppose it comes under the Horror genre, it’s YA so there’s nothing too extreme in there and it’s well written, with plenty of twists and turns, so that I was kept engrossed throughout.
Ooh sounds intriguing! I’ll have to check this one out!
It is great fun:). The first two books are now available and if you like your demons feral, but not TOO hardcore, then this could be the series for you.
