Tuesday Teasers: Two Mysteries

Gerard's:

"A simple robbery suddenly gets all complicated, and the bad guy's in way over his head."

"So he murders the five witnesses, one by one."

From page 95 of Unthinkable by Clyde Phillips. (My review was posted yesterday.)

My heart pounded so hard I could not breathe.  I dropped my mouth open, struggling to pull in air.  The gun in my hand shook.

From page 91 of Dark Justice by Brandilyn Collins.(I just finished this one, very good.  Will post a review soon.)


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!

"Unthinkable" by Clyde Phillips

A diner is shot up and six people are dead in Unthinkable by Clyde Phillips.  It is up to Jane Candiotti to find out who and why.  When she does find out, she will stop at nothing to get answers.  There is good action that kept me turning pages.  That's about all you can ask of a book.  
(Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"Brilliance" by Marcus Sakey

In Brilliance by Marcus Sakey, people who have superior intelligence want to take over the country and it is up to Agent Cooper to put a stop to it.  There are good "wow" factors with good action and the book moves along quick.  Great novel!  I look forward to the next book of this series.

"Good Tidings and Great Joy--Protecting the Heart of Christmas" by Sarah Palin

GOOD TIDINGS and GREAT JOY--Protecting the Heart of Christmas by Sarah Palin is about how Christmas has changed over the years in America and where it is headed.  She shares some of her family's Christmas traditions and recipes along with some advice to Christians to stand up to preserve the true meaning of Christmas in America.  Words do matter. 

This is a thought provoking book with some shocking things that are currently happening in America that I wasn't aware of.  I agree that people should be able to acknowledge publicly that Christmas is a religious holiday and that the reason we celebrate Christmas is to celebrate the birth of a Savior, Jesus Christ.  If you are interested in civil rights and religious freedom, I recommend you read this book.

Tuesday Teasers: Four for You

Gerard's:

"That's why I need a lawyer, and I'm not your typical thirteen-year-old, anyway.  I'm a genius."

From page 11 of Accused by Lisa Scottoline.

"They're going to test her.  She's only four, and the test isn't mandatory until she's eight--"

From page 88 of Brilliance by Marcus Sakey.

Karen's:

No one forced him to do anything.  However, because of this strange quirk of the law--a quirk intentionally designed to enable people to complain and remove expressions of our religious heritage from public life--Mr. McScrooge is a legal force to be reckoned with.

From page 26 of Good Tidings and Great Joy by Sarah Palin.

Bearing in mind that a true osteoporosis diagnosis is rarely accurate, its treatment with dangerous drugs is unnecessary and often times causes more medical problems that require more drugs to treat.  It's a lose-lose situation for the patient, particularly when there are safe and healthy methods to prevent bone loss.

From page 68 of saveourbones PROGRAM--The Revolutionary Treatment That Prevents and Reverses Bone Loss Naturally by Vivian Goldschmidt, MA
