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:
The Silver Tide – Book 3 of the Copper Cat series by Jen Williams
p. 229. Oster glared at her. ‘I am Oster. That is all you need to know.’
Wydrin gestured wildly with the root vegetable. ‘That’s all you have to say? You don’t think the turning into a dragon bit requires a bit more explanation?’
BLURB: Tales of the Black Feather Three and their exploits abound far and wide, and Wydrin of Crosshaven, Lord Aaron Frith and Sir Sebastian have become sell swords in demand. Having foiled powerful mages and evil magic, they now face a challenge unlike any before – in the form of Wydrin’s mother.
Devinia the Red, notorious pirate and captain of the Poison Chalice, is intent on finding the fabled treasure hidden within the jungles of the cursed island of Euriale. She needs the skills of her daughter Wydrin and her companions to get there, and our heroes cannot resist the lure of coin and adventure. But no explorer has returned from the heart of the island, and it’s not long before the Three find themselves in the clutches of peril. Deep within the island of the gods, there are remnants of forces best left undisturbed…
This is every bit as much fun as the other two book in this series – if not more so. I’ve always been a sucker for a good pirate tale and there is everything here to guarantee my happy face – pirate ships… enchanted islands… dodgy treasure… weird monsters… I’m currently hunting around for a buckle to swash.

This one looks something I could like. Here’s my teaser for the week, completely different kind – a non-fiction book that reads like a (great) fantasy novel:
Yep. We’ve bought it – both of us thought your TT looked fabulous – we’ve now acquired both the paperback AND the Kindle ebook:)).
Ooohh now that’s a teaser for sure!!! 🙂
It is:). Have you read this series, Drew?
I unfortunately haven’t no but I’ve only ever heard good things about it.😀
I’ve not heard of this series before. That teaser grabbed me and now I want more, Sarah:)
My TT from The Scorpio Races
Ooh I like the sound of this. Off to hunt down the first book to add to my TBR.
Oh do let me know how you get on with it, if you do so:). This is so much fun and full of adventure.
It’s on my Amazon wish list.
Yay!

I love this series. Great choice of teaser.
Lynn 😀
Thank you, Lynn. Have you read this one?
Like your teaser and the blurb sounds good. Adding it to my TBR. My Teaser is from a humorous cozy.
You grabbed me with those excerpts. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “INHERITING EDITH”
Thank you, Laurel. I loved the sound of your TT this week and will be keen to discover it sustains its promise. I’d hate for it to turn all sentimental.
Enticing teaser. Here’s mine from A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towels:
“At the very moment that the Count heard the door to suite 208 clicking shut, Anna Urbanova (a beautiful movie star) was, in fact, falling asleep, but she did not sleep soundly.
When the actress first dismissed the Count (having rolled onto her side with a languid sigh), she watched with cool pleasure as he gathered his clothes and drew the curtains.”
I simply started where I left off. This is the beginning of a chapter.
This does sound like a good story. I’ll have to add the first in the series to my wishlist. This week I am teasing Flashfall by Jenny Moyer – an upcoming YA Science Fiction title. Happy reading!
Thank you for swinging by – I love the sound of Flashfall and hope you are enjoying it.
Oooh, I remember your review of the first book. It’s *still* on my TBR list (I know, I’m slow…).
I’m impressed you recall the first review:).
As forgetful as I am sometimes, I don’t forget things related to STORIES. 😉
