Teaser Tuesday #4


Happy Tuesday, fellow book lovers! It's Teaser Tuesday! Hurray!!! 


by Hunter Shea

Blurb: 
It Kills. . .

On a hot summer night in Montauk, the bodies of two local bar patrons are discovered in the dunes, torn to shreds, their identities unrecognizable. . .

It Breeds. . .

In another part of town, a woman's backyard is invaded by four terrifying creatures that defy any kind of description. What's clear is that they're hostile--and they're ravenous. . .

It Spreads. . .

With every sunset the terror rises again, infecting residents with a virus no one can cure. The CDC can't help them; FEMA can't save them. But each savage attack brings Suffolk County Police Officer Gray Dalton one step closer to the shocking source of these unholy creations. Hidden on nearby Plum Island, a U.S. research facility has been running top-secret experiments. What they created was never meant to see the light of day. Now, a vacation paradise is going straight to hell.
My teaser:
"The synapses to Dalton's brain snapped and misfired. His eyes took in the carnage with the cold precision of a camera lens. What he saw and how he comprehended the unfathomable image had become as difficult as advanced calculus'"

Teaser Tuesday #3

M. Leighton

Blurb: 
Violet Wilson is a wallflower. Shy, serious, and accident-prone, she’s got a bad habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The night she’s forced to pose with her friend might just be the worst time of all—that’s when she meets Jet Blevins. She knows better than to get involved with someone like him, but he touches her in ways she never expected, never wanted before.

On the outside, Jet is a typical rocker, an arrogant lead guitarist who unapologetically lives a wild lifestyle. But on the inside, he’s battling demons and using the stage to escape the troubles of his past and the addictions of his present. Until the night he sees Violet standing at the back of the room. She brings his life into focus. She knows his secrets. She’s the girl he can’t forget, and the one thing he craves more than his addiction.

But can they ever hope to have a future when their very foundation is nothing but lies?

My teaser:
"He finally stops to look at me and give me his full attention as he hands me my purse. 'I can tell by looking at you that the only thing you need right now is coffee.'  
 'And a shower,' I add.   
Jet's voice is low and his eyes are warm. 'I'm trying not to think too much about you in the shower. Mind taking it easy on a guy?'"

Teaser Tuesday #2

Marah Woolf

Blurb: 
"Even the very first time I saw you, I had the feeling that you wouldn’t be good for me." Not even Emma’s worst nightmares could have prepared her for the dramatic change that takes place in her life. After the sudden death of her mother, she has no choice but to go and live with her Uncle and his family on the sleepy town of Portree on the Scottish Isle of Skye. The last thing she expects is to fall in love there. From the very first moment she meets Calum, his mysterious aura captivates her. He casts a spell on her, and even his seeming disinterest does little to change this. His contradictory behaviour only adds to his allure. But before long this fassade begins to crumble, and eventually even he gives in to his feelings. When he reveals his true identity to her one day, she flees from him. But it’s too late, for she has already fallen head over heels... A fantastical, mythical book with fascinating creatures that anyone would love to encounter. Immerse yourself in the story of Emma and Calum.

My teaser:
"His cinnamon-colored, tousled hair was shimmering in the dying sunlight as he stared at the whales with a somber expression. I had never seen someone so handsome before."

Teaser Tuesday #1

Mike Wells


Blurb: 
In this creepy horror novel, Neal Becker is convinced that his 5 month old baby daughter can talk. But that's impossible...isn't it? Except that Neal didn't really want to get married in the first place - the pregnancy was the result of a one-night stand, and he preferred an abortion. Now, Baby Natasha knows it, and she's out to get him! Or so Neal believes...join the two in a terrifying battle for survival that will make your blood run cold.


My teaser: 
"Neal felt a little more relaxed - at least she seemed happy about being fed. But with the hawk-like way she was watching him, he would have to be damn careful about what he planned to do next."
