Teaser Tuesday # 14

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! 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 teasers!

This week I have two teasers. Both from books I've already read. It seems at the end of this month I've taken on a lot of reading projects and because I have ADD when it comes to books, I haven't finished any of them yet. I'm still reading Perchance to Dream and Legacy. And I'm a beta reader for an awesome author. I've just about wrapped that up so hopefully I'll finish the other two soon.

BUT ...

Without further ado.

From Her Irish Warrior by Michelle Willingham (one of my favorite Historical Romance novels):

"Genevieve hid in a chamber used for storing food and herbs until the sounds of battle faded in the distance. The thickness of smoke tainted the air, and she tried not to think of the number of men who were now dead. There were two she could save, and save them she would." p 25

And teaser number two comes from The Knight's Descent by A.M. Hudson (if you remember me mentioning this series before you'll remember it's an online publication as of right now, so there's no page number):

"David laid on his back, and pulled me onto his chest; every inch of our bodies that can possibly touch entangled like a mess of twisted vines. This feels so right. It’s so unfair that it can’t be for forever—but I would happily take the next eighty years."

Can't wait to see ya'lls teasers!

Teaser number one comes from Fire by Kristin Cashore.
 

"And then sudden pain, blinding and brilliant. Fire wrenched her head and fought against the healer, against Archer's heavy strength. Her scarf slipped off and released the shimmering prism of her hair: sunrise, poppy, copper, fuchsia, flame. Red, brighter than the blood soaking the pathway." p 24
 
Teaser number two comes from The Knight's Descent by A.M. Hudson.

"Something changed then—a strange, eerie feeling came over me—like the tingling sensation you get when there's something standing behind you. A warm, vibrant energy seems to be surrounding the small restaurant. I looked over my shoulder—not for any reason, purely for the need to check behind me." Ch. 2
 
Can't wait to see ya'lls teasers! Happy Tuesday!

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. It spotlights upcoming releases that we just can't wait for!!

This week I just can't wait for the next installment in the Blood Knight Series by A.M. Hudson. The first two stories in the series, Knight of the Rose & The Knight's Descent are published completely online on her blog and are just great to read through. It's kind of like Twilight in reverse. You'll have to read it to find out why.

Here's a little teaser for you from the first book:

"Fear flooded my torso, and froze my limbs into place. The reflection that mirrors back is not me. She stares at me with her round eyes, and I can see familiarity in her heart-shaped face, and long, wavy brown hair. She straightened the front of her yellow, cotton, sundress, just as I did the same. The girl looks like me--but it’s not me anymore.

Everything that made me who I am has been left behind in a place that I can never return. The girl I see in the mirror now, has no heart, and when she smiles, it’s never for real. When I leave this house today--my dads house-—still not really mine, I will be painting on the carefully created persona, of a young, happy, teenage girl.

The scars on the surface of my face have long since faded, and reduced to nothing more than a silvery reminder of a tragic past. If I keep my face out of the sun, then they’re barely visible at all. It’s the ones on the inside that never really healed—-and probably never will."

Here is chapter 1 of Knight of the Rose. Just so you get started in the right place when you go to read the rest of the story! Check it out, for real. She's great! Very descriptive so it's almost like you can see everything right in front of you. Wonderful characters (some of them you just want to kick and say WAKE UP and then they go and do it on their own, and some of them are just so endearing it makes you want to melt). Literally, as I was reading she was publishing chapters and I kept refreshing my computer to see if, once I finished one, there was another one coming!
