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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can  add the book to their TBR  Lists  if they  like your teaser.   

Gerard's:

You're doing a bad thing here, Mr. Rhodes. Sooner or later, we all pay for the bad things we do.

Taken from pg. 64 of The Deep Zone by James M. Tabor. (Thriller)

Karen's:

Holden had responded to them better than anything else regarding his communication, and now the cards were a part of his daily therapy.  It wasn't what Tracy wanted, but it was an improvement over the years of not knowing anything about what he was thinking or feeling or needing.

Taken from pg. 50 of Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury. (Christian fiction about an Autistic boy)

"Afterwards" by Rosamund Lupton

In Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton, Jenny covey is in the school when a huge fire takes place. Her mother, Grace, rushes into the school to try to rescue her. Both of them are pulled out in very critical condition. Adam, Jenny's brother and Grace's son is being accused of starting the fire. Do I have your interest yet? This book is a page turner for sure. It is told by Jenny and Grace as they watch what all unfolds after the fire. This book is just as good as Rosamond's first one, Sister. I think you should read this, I'm glad I did!
(Gerard's review)

Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton is narrated by the spirit of a mother and daughter who were both seriously injured in a school fire.  While their bodies are in the hospital in comas, their spirits are following around their loved ones and the investigators of the case to piece together all the pieces to figure out who the arsonist was and also who Jenny's stalker was.  It is a complicated story line to follow and at times I had difficulty determining who was talking.  Afterwards, I was glad to finally be done with it!  I really didn't care much for this one, but was surprised at the ending.  I admit I was fooled and did not pick the right person as the stalker or the arsonist.

"The Deep Zone" by James M. Tabor

An Action Packed, page turning thriller!

The Deep Zone by James M. Tabor is a page turner with tons of action about an infection that is killing our soldiers in Afghanistan. The cure is located in a deep cave. Five people are chosen for a team to go get it and bring it out.

You talk about good books, this one is great! There is action in and out of the cave and a very good ending. I'll be looking for more books by James M. Tabor for sure.

Gerard's:

I turned and Deveraux pulled up right alongside me, neat and smooth. A short moment later I was in her front passenger seat, with nothing between us except her holstered shotgun.

Jazz wouldn't let himself believe it. Not everyone has a killer inside. Not everyone is like me.

Karen's:

. . . all it takes is one moment for your entire world to turn upside down. One wrong decision, and it's over.
