Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.
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:
Freeks by Amanda Hocking
34% “I did, of course, I did.” He moved back into the doorway, and motioned for us to come in. “Come on in. Welcome to my home.”
Since he was so tall, he had to hunch over to invite us in, and he kept his long arms folded up so we could pass. He looked very much like a praying mantis, and suddenly, I heard Blossom’s voice in my head—as crisp and clear as if she were standing beside me right now—reading aloud from a book of poetry, “ʽWill you walk into my parlor?’ said the Spider to the Fly.”
BLURB: Welcome to Gideon Davorin’s Traveling Sideshow, where necromancy, magical visions, and pyrokinesis are more than just part of the act…
Mara has always longed for a normal life in a normal town where no one has the ability to levitate or predict the future. Instead, she roams from place to place, cleaning the tiger cage while her friends perform supernatural feats every night. When the struggling sideshow is miraculously offered the money they need if they set up camp in Caudry, Louisiana, Mara meets local-boy Gabe…and a normal life has never been more appealing.
But before long, performers begin disappearing and bodes are found mauled by an invisible beast. Mara realizes that there’s a sinister presence lurking in the town with its sights set on getting rid of the sideshow freeks. In order to unravel the truth before the attacker kills everyone Mara holds dear, she has seven days to take control of a power she didn’t know she was capable of—one that could change her future forever.
This NetGalley arc is due out at the start of January and I’m part of the blog tour. So far I’m really enjoying this paranormal crime thriller. Mara is an appealing protagonist and the low level tension that something isn’t quite right is steadily ramping up. I’m looking forward to diving back into this one during the holiday break.
Great teaser. I still haven’t read read anything by this author but have a couple on my TBR mountain. I have two this week – Midnight Obsession by Melinda Leigh and Rose and Thorn by Sarah Prineas. Happy reading!
I enjoy paranormal thrillers. Sounds like a good one too:)
My TT from The Kill Switch
Love the teaser. The book sounds good. Thanks for sharing it. And thanks for coming by my TT.
Am now following your blog after reading your teaser. I looked at a few of your posts, and it looks like you like “my kinda’ books.”
And on checking, I’m really shocked to find I hadn’t been following you! Except… I must have been as your posts drop into my Inbox, so whether the blog suddenly Unfollowed itself, or I simply am still operating from a parallel universe remains to be seen…
Glad you like the teaser – so far so good:). I’m hoping the ending will be suitably twisty and surprising:).
After reading your teaser, this is a book I’ve GOT to read. Magical and circus? A definite addition to my TBR list! My Tuesday Teaser is at http://powerfulwomenreaders.wordpress.com
Sounds fascinating!
Mine this week is from a female PI series: https://wp.me/p3Nz8P-19y
Yes, if you like whodunit mysteries with a paranormal twist this may well tick your box. Thank you for dropping by:).
I’m not too into the paranormal but the teasers do sound intriguing. Hope you enjoy it. Here’s my link for this week from a true story of an al-Qaeda mole in the CIA: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1pK
Thank you for swinging by:).
I’ve been curious about this author since I started noticing her books around. I need to read one, I think. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “NEVER ALONE”
Yes, I am really enjoying this one, so far:).
ooh sounds good , especially the book blurb , will be eagerly awaiting your review before I put it in my TBR
Fortunately, you won’t have to wait all that long for this one to appear – the book is due out on 3rd January:). Thank you for swinging by.
Love the eye catching cover. Enjoy.
Great tension in your Teaser. I don’t think I’d walk through that door!
My Tuesday post features Isabel Allende’s The Japanese Lover.
No – I know I wouldn’t!
Wow, it sounds really promising! I’m sure your review is up already and I’ll get to it when I finally manage to catch up with all the posts. 🙂
I look forward to hear what you think:)
Of course, it’s going to be ages before I get to it (especially that I’m trying not to buy new books at the moment), but I’ll be sure to get back to you. 🙂
