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:
Face the Change – Book 3 of the Menopausal Superheroes series by Samantha Bryant
19% Jessica watched the sky and imagined how good it would feel to fly up there in the open air. It would be warmer by day, but, then again, there would be more people around to wonder what on earth was happening. Giddiness bubbled in her again, as she imagined how going public might change things. She’d be able to fly openly, in a sunlit blue sky.
BLURB: The Menopausal Superheroes are coming out of the closet and the pressure is high, on the job and on the homefront.
Now that he knows what it’s like to be a hero, Leonel “Fuerte” Alvarez can’t imagine going back to his former life as a grandmother and housewife. But putting his life on the line may cost him his husband even while he saves the city.
Jessica “Flygirl” Roark is holding on to her second chance at love with both hands while learning to balance single parenthood with her new career in crime-fighting.
Patricia “Lizard Woman” O’Neill is blindsided by an unexpected romance just as she signs on to join the team.
Meanwhile enemies abound–old and new. When superpowers alone aren’t enough, what a woman really needs are her friends.
I enjoyed the second book in this unusual take on the superhero genre and was delighted when the author asked if I would like to read the next slice of the adventure – see my review of Change of Life. It didn’t take me long to pick up the storyline of all four of the main characters and I’m enjoying the ride. I’ll be reviewing this one shortly.
I’ll be interested to see how this one pans out. Hope you love it.
Lynn 😁
Yes – I’m enjoying it so far, Lynn. It’s an original premise and I liked reading the previous slice of the adventure.
What a fun series. Not heard of this one before, Sarah:)
My TT from The House On Devil’s Bar
Yes – I really enjoyed the previous book and am now back in the groove with this one:). Thank you for popping in!
Wow, this sounds….different? I’ll look forward to your review, I’m intrigued!
It is certainly different! And it is more of a very affectionate tribute, rather than completely sending up the whole sub-genre.
OOh nice teaser! It’s funny, my name was always so popular in school. There’d be like 3 or 4 of us in a class. And yet when I read books, there’s hardly ever a Jessica! Sometimes she might be the mean girl or nemesis. I love when she’s the heroine though! LOL!
Thanks for visiting my post!
You’re right! I’ve known several Jessicas – and I think it’s a lovely name. But you don’t read about all that many in fiction.
I’ll withhold judgment until I see your full review. I hope you’re enjoying it. Here’s the link to my intro/teaser for today: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1yi
So far so good, Mrs M:). I’ll be reviewing it shortly.
Now I’m curious! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy. Here’s mine: “THE CHILD”
Yes – it’s definitely different, Laurel. Thank you for swinging by:)
Brilliant…just reading the blurb has made me smile…
It is great fun and because it features older women as superpowered heroines, the whole tone and feel of this adventure is quite different.
Tempting, but no time to read anything except what I have on my TBR shelf already…My Tuesday Teaser can be found at http://powerfulwomenreaders.wordpress.com
I’m sure you have very little free time just now, Rae – thinking of you and hoping it’s going well! Thank you for popping by.
I love the look and sound of this one! I hope you’re enjoying it 😀
I really am, Mogsy. It’s great fun and inevitably the dynamic is quite different.
This sounds like such a fun read! I love the Menopausal Superhero title. Hope you enjoy this one as much as the previous 2.
It is fun – I’m now settling back into the world and enjoying it:)
