Teaser Tuesday Sept. 14: "Where Are You Now?" and "Freedom"

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! 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 teaser.

Karen's:

And that made me think of my father's anxiety when Mack disappeared and the anxiety Leesey Andrew's father must be feeling now.  Last night on the eleven o'clock news, holding back tears, Dr. Andrews had held up his daughter's picture and pleaded for assistance in finding her. 

From p. 76 of Where Are You Now? by Mary Higgins Clark

Gerard's:

As he began to feel the heat of the flames outside and inside, even through all the water raining down on him, the killing machine entered his safe room and unfolded both sword blades with swift precision.  The bike was stained with cooked blood and charred flesh.

From p. 12 of Freedom (The sequel to the national bestseller Daemon) by Daniel Suarez. See Gerard's review of Daemon.
