My Teasers:

Legend by Marie Lu

I want to scream at him. I want to hate him for confusing me so much. Stupid boy! It's a wonder you've evaded the government for so long-but you can't hide now, not when your own family or friends are at risk. I have no sympathy for a criminal, I remind myself harshly. Just a score to settle. - Page 145
 

 It started off okay but nothing special but I have really gotten into it now and I can't wait to see what is going to happen next.

Ever by Jessa Russo

I fell back to sleep almost instantly, my last thought before sleeping: "I wish I could hold him."
"Doll?"
"Hmm?"
"I wish I could hold you, too."
I was briefly alarmed when I realized I'd voiced my thought, but I was too tired to respond to him or think on it further. - Kindle Location: 741 of 4729
 

 I am finding this a sweet book but now things are really starting to get interesting.

My Teasers:

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

He looks down at her with his head tilted, his hand still firmly on her arm, and before she even fully realises what's happening, she hears him mutter, 'What the hell,' and then, to her surprise, he bends to kiss her. -Page 92

 

I am really enjoying this book it's so sweet and I can't wait to find out what is going to happen next.

The Deepest Cut (MacKinnon Curse #1) by J.A. Templeton

I waved back, never so relieved to see anyone. Maybe the ghost would leave- "Riiileeeey," came a chilling whisper in my ear. The breath lodged in my throat, and when I turned, the ghost was gone. - Page 49 Loc. 401-3 (Kindle)
 

I am loving this book at the moment and so far I would highly recommend it.

My Teasers:

The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys #1) by Abbi Glines

There he went again talking about how he felt guilty. I just wanted to go home and bury myself under the covers. This was too much to deal with right now. The guilt, the anger, the frustration, the pain-it was all going to drive me insane. - Page 125
 

I love this book.I wasn't sure I was going to like the actual storyline but while I'm reading it I just can't help loving it especially Beau!

Entangled (Spellbound #1) by Nikki Jefford

Maybe she was back, but for how long? Who was she to say she wouldn't die all over again? If there was one thing Gray remembered from lectures it was this: You can't cheat death. - Kindle Location 927-28 (Teaser is from a arc so may differ to final book)
 

When I first started this book I wasn't sure I was going to like it as it was a bit too slow and then when it did pick up it was far too confusing, however, now I'm about halfway though I am enjoying it.

My Teasers:

Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson

Only when the tip of the knife started to shave against the white of his eye like a scalpel about to pierce a boil, did I realise that I was the one holding it.
Or, rather, controlling it. - Page 1
 

This teaser is actually the first paragraph of the book and as soon as I read it I knew that, that was going to be my teaser. This book is shaping up to be a brilliant read and I can't wait to find out what is going to happen next and I'm already thinking about getting the next book!

The Vampire's Promise by Caroline B. Cooney

The vampire could set Althea free. Free from the hostile cafeteria, free from loneliness. You give me Celeste, and I will give you popularity. - Kindle Location 155-56 (Teaser may differ to final copy as this is an arc copy)
 

I have only just started this book but I'm not to sure that I am going to love it but I'm hoping that will change the further I get into it.

My Teasers:

The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead

"You can be Jet if you want," I said brusquely, trying to get us back on track and cover up my troubled feelings. After all, this wasn't Sydney's Therapy Hour. "But we are not posing as a couple again."
"Are you sure?" he said. His tone was lighter now, turning him back into the Adrian I knew. "Because I've got a lot more terms of endearment to use. Honey pie. Sugarplum. Bread pudding." - Page 146
 

I am loving this book more than the first two in this series and I'm not even halfway through yet! I found it really hard to pick a teaser I wanted to share as there are so many but I settled on this one as it was funny but most of this particular chapter could have been used.

All Over You by Emily Snow

When I reach the door to Lucas's dressing room, I waver and try to gather my thoughts. This will be simple, I tell myself. I'll go in there, ask him what he's looking for, and I'll be out in a matter of minutes. Simple...right. - Kindle Location 248-50
 

I'm not enjoying this as much as The Indigo Spell but I am liking it.

My Teasers:

Devil's Bargain by Rachel Caine

Jazz fought off an adrenaline-hot wave of dizziness and went to where Borden sat crumpled against the wall. He was probing his bleeding mouth and looking dazed.  - Page 17
 

Dare You To by Katie McGarry

He enters the foyer and Beth's lips twist into that evil smirk. What the hell did I walk myself into? - Kindle location 1650-51 (Arc copy so teaser may differ to final copy)

My Teasers:

Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Then he opened the door and slipped out. The wall of chairs crumbled, spilling out across the floor. Kind of ironic how they fell upon themselves, just like my whole life was collapsing onto itself. - Page 81
 

Persistence of Vision by Liesel K. Hill

Marcus rested his head against his forearms and cried. Sometimes it was the only thing a man could do. - Kindle Location 5837 (May differ to final copy as this is from an arc)

My Teasers:

The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa

"Stand down," said the First Lieutenant, and raised his voice, addressing all the faeries watching this little spectacle.
"All of you, stand down! Bow to your prince!"
Uh. What? - Page 158
 

Hollowland by Amanda Hocking

Before I could tell where they had gotten in, Harlow screamed. I looked up to see her being dragged out through the broken window, her fingers desperately raking on the ceiling of the car. - Page 198/Kindle Location 2713-15

My Teasers:
This week I had already finished one book and getting ready to start another so I thought I would use a teaser for both of them.

Lullaby by Amanda Hocking

"I should've done more," Alex said, growing frustrated. "I'm her boyfriend. I should be helping her."
"And you are," Harper said, then corrected herself. "Well, you're doing everything you can."
"It doesn't feel like enough."
She let out a deep breath. "I know. I feel the same way. But this is all we can do right now. So it has to be enough." - Page 45
 

Pure by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Leon moved his massive body forward, looking like the poster child for steroids. "There's been a daimon attack."
Aiden tensed. "Where?"
"Here at the Covenant." - Page 10

My Teasers:

Echo by Alyson Noel

The water hammering so hard, it drives at my shoulders, pushing me down-and then down farther still. Plunging me into depths that surpass all reasonable limits, causing my lungs to swell so large, I'm sure they'll soon burst. And there's nothing I can do to stop it. The water's rendered me powerless, helpless-dissolving my strength until all that remains is my will. - Page 138
 

I have just over a hundred pages left and I still can't seem to get into it. Every time I put it down I don't want to pick it up again but I do as I want to know what is going to happen.

My Teasers:

Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black

Vanessa stumbled out of step. The figure beside her froze, her face twisted with terror. Vanessa watched, horrified, as the girl jerked left, then right, her body bending like rays of light refracting off a mirror. The glare engulfed the ceiling. Vanessa covered her face. The last thing she saw was the outline of the girl's lips, pursed open as her figure ripped into a blinding curse of light, the rays streaming from her mouth like a scream. - Page 226 (ARC copy so teaser may differ to the final copy)
 

This book started off a bit slow but very mysterious and now it's so much better I can't wait to find out what is actually going on.

My Teasers:

Breathe by Sarah Crossan

I hope Bea got away. I saw her running. I saw Alina, Maude, and Bea running. I hope Alina got away, too. I try calling out Bea's name, but my voice is blanketed by the dust and I start to cough. I must be alive if I'm coughing, right? - Page 143. (ARC copy so quote may differ to final copy.)
 

 Started of a little too slow for me as well as it being a bit hard to understand what was going on with the characters. It has now started picking up with a bit of action as well as things getting explained.

My Teasers:

Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout

My eyes snapped open as the freakish sixth sense kicked my fight or flight response into overdrive. The Georgia humidity and the dust covering the floor made it hard to breathe. Since I'd fled Miami, no place had been safe. This abandoned factory had proved no different.
The daimons were here. - Page 1
 

I have only just started this book so seeing as this was how the book started it was as good a teaser as any. I am looking forward to continuing with this book as I have heard so many great things and it has started of with a good start.

My Teasers:

Destined by P.C. & Kristin Cast

And we walked into a future that was already making my stomach clench and feel like a raging IBS episode was going to hit me at any moment.
Ah, hell. - Page 22

I decided to chose this teaser as I don't feel like it will give anything away which I found hard to find with this being book 9. I also haven't read much of it yet so I don't know what to think about it as of yet.

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

"Ow! OW!" I screamed, frantically hopping up and down in agony while I clutched my hand to my chest. It was broken I could feel it.
Jacob stared at me in shock. "Are you all right?"
"No, dammit! You broke my hand!" - Page 331

Like the first teaser I had problems finding a teaser that didn't spoil anything for anyone hasn't read/seen it. I chose this one because I found it one of the funniest scenes it makes me laugh everytime I read this particular part.

Butterfly Kisses by Mia Castile

After a long, awkward moment, we start talking about school, everyone, gossiping a little even, and she, too, asks me about Tomas. Lacey really grilled me the other night. I tell her that we are just friends as my phone goes off in my hoodie pocket. I pull it out, and see that it’s a text from Tomas asking how my house arrest is going. My face instantly reddens, and she begins to laugh. - Page 50

I may still be reading this book but it doesn't mean I don't like it, it's just I am reading a lot of books so I haven't gotten around to reading this one yet but I'm sure that will change as of next week. (Teaser may differ to final copy as this is from an arc copy)

My Teasers:

Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick

"I'll bring my stuff over later this week. My mom is driving me crazy, and we both agree I need somewhere else to crash for a while. Your place is as good as any. Well, I for one am glad we had this talk. If there's one thing my dad taught me, it's that Nephilim stick together." - Page 75



Good start to the last book which is why I picked this teaser as it doesn't give anything away if you have only read a couple of the books.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Another complication, Edward had said.
Billy still stared at me with intense, anxious eyes. I groaned internally. Had Billy recognized Edward so easily? Could he really believe the impossible legends his son had scoffed at?
The answer was clear in Billy's eyes. Yes. Yes, he could. - Page 206


I thought I would pick a less obvious quote from this book. I must also say I seem to be just as addicted to this book as the first time I read it.

Butterfly Kisses by Mia Castile

"If I feel overwhelmed, I will not be afraid or ashamed. I am who I am; no one can change that. I am strong and brave. I am worth my life." This is the mantra my therapist wants me to tell myself, to remember my value. The hallway has emptied, and I close my locker, afraid that I might be late on my first day. - Page 6 (Quote may differ to final copy as this is from an arc)


This book I have only just started but it seems good so far just not as good as the first in this series.

My teasers:

Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick

Jack gagged, a deep, harshly liquid sound. An instant later, a sudden jet of bright red blood boiled from his mouth to splatter onto the icy rocks. Alex screamed just as Mina let out a sudden high yelp-
And a second later, the pain had Alex, too. - Page 25




Slowly, carefully, Alex dropped to her knees, the cold earth biting through her hiking pants. Ellie didn't move a muscle. Wordlessly, Alex followed the girl's horrified gaze-and then her blood turned to slush.
No, she thought. No, please, God, I'm not seeing this. - Page 71


Started off a bit boring and I couldn't get into it but once certain things start happening it gets a lot more interesting and now I am looking forward to see what happens next.

My teasers:

A Soldier's Secret by Marissa Moss

Just a minute there." The recruiter stops me as I lean over to dip the pen in ink. "You can't enlist."
I freeze. Can he tell? I'm wearing a shirt, vest, and trousers as usual, my curly hair cut short except for a lock that insists on falling over my forehead. I brush it away nervously and meet the man's eyes. I've been passing for nearly three years now, but every new encounter still brings with it the same fear. I take nothing for granted. The key thing, I remind myself, is not to reveal anything, to act as normal as possible. - Page 1



I know I usually use two teasers when reading the one book but I have used a longer teaser this time to make up for it as I don't want to give too much away. This is actually the first lines from the book which I though set up the story the best. I have near enough finished this book and I am really enjoying it.

My teasers:

Mystic City by Theo Lawrence

J-
It's an awesome idea to address each other as Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers that we are. I'm so happy I didn't frighten you. I thought telling you the truth-my last name, and who I am-would make you run... - Page 136




My father seems more confused than anything. He shakes his head and says, "You better hope you're telling the truth. Goodnight, Aria."
Then he drags Franklin out of my bedroom by the neck. - Page 240




I have used two teasers for this book as the other book that I am reading I have already used teasers so I thought I would share two from the same book. This book started off so confusing and still is in the fact I don't know who is the good guy but I guess I'm feeling the same way as Aria which is a good thing. I think things are going to start getting explained which I think is going to make this book a lot more readable.

My teasers:

Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

Part of his world. What, exactly did that mean? "The first thing I want to know is what those things are. I've asked twice, but you haven't said. so tell me. Teach me. What did we just fight?"
Only a single beat of silence this time. Then he uttered one word. Just one. But that one word forever changed my life, as feared. "Zombies." - Page 175 (ARC Copy so quote may differ to final copy)


I love this book I am hooked! It's one of those books that I just need to read the next chapter before I can put it down and before I knew it I'm nearly finished.

The Paladin Prophecy by Mark Frost

Moments later, the computer turned on. Legs unfolded in back and slowly lifted the machine. The numinous black screen shimmered to life. Legs inching around in almost undetectable increments, the machine shifted until the screen faced the bed.
And it watched Will sleep. - Page 187 (ARC Copy so quote may differ to final copy)


I'm not sure about this book as I like it at times but then there are times I just want to stop reading it. There is loads of things happening which does make the book very intriguing.

My teaser:

The Diviners by Libba Bray

Ruta struggled to keep her breathing quiet when she wanted to scream with all her might. The stranger's footsteps drummed dully but evenly toward her, and she realized he no longer had his cane. His song echoed in the cellar. This time, he added words: "Naughty John, Naughty John, does his work with his apron on. Cuts your throat and takes your bones, sells 'em off for a coupla stones." - Page 69


This book can be very creepy as you can tell by the teaser I have used. It started off really slow and the only times it was interesting at the beginning was scene's like this one. Now that I am getting closer to the end there is a lot going on and now I hate putting it down.
