Tuesday Teasers--Three This Week

Gerard's:

 wasn't going to think about Shauna, wasn't going to let her win, but I couldn't help but feel a whisper of doubt.  Was she ever going to leave me alone? 

From page 17 of That Night by Chevy Stevens. (I read this last week but liked it so much, wanted to share a teaser from it.  Click link for my review.)

"Kay, what is it?" I ask desperately.

"It's . . . Baby."

My stomach turns over as dread seeps into every pore of my body.

From page 12 of In The End by Demitria Lunetta.

Karen's:

Jace felt a panicking sensation that he'd blown it already, they were onto him, and he'd been reminded time and again that this was the only way it could go bad up here in the mountains.  If he let anyone know the truth, let anyone know he wasn't who he was pretnding to be, that was when the men from the quarry would arrive.

From page 53 of Those Who Wish Me Dead by Michael Koryta.

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 (well, we cheat and choose specific ones)
• 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can  add the book to their TBR  Lists  if they  like your teaser.   

Happy Reading!

"Wolf" by Mo Hayder" - Fantastic Ending! (Updated)

Wolf by Mo Hayder has two stories in it.  The first one is a family held hostage in their own home for reasons unknown to them.  Story two is a detective bound and determined to find the person who killed his brother.  How do these two stories connect?  You will have to read the book to find out!

Mo Hayder rocks!  This book will get its hooks into you and will not let go!  I LOVED this page turner with its fantastic ending!  It does not get any better than this! Don't let this one get past you--must read! 
(Gerard's review, 5++ stars, posted 6/12/14)

Karen read this one too (updated 6/25/14):

Wow, what a book Wolf by Mo Hayder is!  It is a thriller about revenge and betrayal with twists I never saw coming.  A couple men torture a family of three in their summer home in England.  This book has some very gruesome parts and the way the men treated the dog made me angry.  The beginning was a bit confusing and moved kind of slow but about halfway through, things picked up.  I was tempted to give up on it but am glad I didn’t because the ending was such a surprise.  I can’t say I enjoyed it because it was so disturbing, but it is a good mystery with some suspense.

"The Dog Who Could Fly" by Damien Lewis is one of the Best Books I Read This Year!

The Dog Who Could Fly by Damien Lewis is the true story of airman Robert Bozdech and the bond he forged with a dog named Ant during World War II.  I loved this book!  It is an incredible story of how Ant even went on flying missions with his master.  You do not have to be a dog lover to appreciate this book though.  Please read this book--it's a story you need to hear!  It doesn't get any better than this!  This is my book of the month so far and will be in my top 10 for the year!

Tuesday Teasers: 4 Today

Gerard's:

Dinner with his family was the least he could do.
     Much later, he'd replay that moment over and over again in his head. 

From page 11 of Suspicion by Joseph Finder. (I read this last week but liked it so much, wanted to share a teaser from it.  Click link for my review.)

It was crucial that he keep the little ball of fur happy and quiet, at least for now.  He unzipped the front of his leather bomber jacket, slipped the puppy inside, and zipped it closed again.

From page 11 of The Dog Who Could Fly by Damien Lewis.

Karen's:

Oliver--they can't be the police.  Why would the police do something like this?

From page 65 of Wolf by Mo Hayder.

Deep-tone walls are an elegant backdrop for bright art you want to feature.  To keep the room from seeming oppressively dark, use a pale carpet and plenty of well-directed lighting.

From page 72 of Color Schemes made easy.
