Teaser Tuesday

Gerard's:

The fading light, the unfamiliar people, the confusing twists in the landscape made Barley feel like he was running up the road of a bad dream.  But he kept moving, pushing himself, racing uphill, sniffing, looking, listening, and hoping to catch the smell, sight, or sound of his beloved masters.

From page 66 of The Dog Who Was There by Ron Marasco.

This baby is proof that even out of the most horrific possible moment, in your darkest hour, something wonderful is possible, Claudia had countered.
     Martha, who was fifteen years older than Claudia, just shook her head, looked off into the middle distance as if she were the long-suffering knower of all things, just waiting for her little sister to catch up.

From page 20 of The Red Hunter by Lisa Unger.

Karen's:

That was my first step: make Tamlin believe, truly believe, that I loved him and this place, and everyone in it.

          So that he would not suspect when I turned them on each other.

From page 22 of A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.   Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading.  Happy Reading!
