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!
When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well… There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on. But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love. After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different… And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever. Together we’re stronger… and they know it. . “He smiled a little. ‘You burn bright, to me at least, and I know you could handle it, but the last thing I want is your light to be tainted by something so dark.'” . ~23%, Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout . . . Ethan Wate thought he was getting used to the strange, impossible events happening in Gatlin, his small Southern town. But now that Ethan and Lena have returned home, strange and impossible have taken on new meanings. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand the impact of Lena’s Claiming. Even Lena’s family of powerful Supernaturals is affected – and their abilities begin to dangerously misfire. As time passes, one question becomes clear: What — or who — will need to be sacrificed to save Gatlin? For Ethan, the chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He’s being haunted in his dreams again, but this time it isn’t by Lena – and whatever is haunting him is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Even worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself — forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn’t know why, and most days he’s too afraid to ask. Sometimes there isn’t just one answer or one choice. Sometimes there’s no going back. And this time there won’t be a happy ending.

“She’s been really weird about her room lately.” Lena nudged an open bottle of nail polish that was oozing onto the dresser. “But there are no signs of Casting. No books or charms.
I flipped back the pink carpet to reveal the smooth lines of the hidden Caster door in the floor.
“Nothing except–” Lena held up a nearly empty bag of Doritos. “Ridley hates Doritos. She likes sweet, not salty.”
I stared down into the darkness at the stairs I only half believed were there. “I’m looking at an invisible stairwell, and you’re telling me the chips are weird?”
Lena held up a second bag, a full one. “Pretty much. Yes.”

What are you reading this week?
Great teasers! Both are books I want to read but haven’t had a chance to yet. My teasers are from Shadow’s Edge by Maureen Lipinski and She Can Tell by Melinda Leigh. Happy reading!
Thanks so much! Both were really great reads. Hope you enjoy!
I still need to start the Lux series, but every teaser I read gets me that much closer to caving.
I tried to read Beautiful Creatures the other day, and I got about 25% in before I gave up. Maybe I’ll pick it up again some day. 
Thanks for sharing! Here’s my teaser from Hysteria by Megan Miranda. Happy Tuesday!
The Lux Series is AWESOME!!!! And honestly, I like Beautiful Creatures but I don’t LOVE Beautiful Creatures if that makes sense. I’m on the last book now and mainly it’s because I like the characters enough to want to find out what happens to them, and I needed a decent audio book to listen to while I work on Christmas presents and other projects…so I totally get it! 😉
I am really behind in The Caster Chronicle series but hopefully I can puck them back up around movie time. Love that Opal teaser. That’s another series I have not started but everyone seems to love. Thanks for sharing!
My Teaser
Yeah, I picked up Beautiful Creatures because the movie looks AWESOME! I like the series as a whole (on the last one now).
Lux…you should totally read it. Really good stuff there, though Opal wasn’t as mindblowing as I hoped it would be, it was still a fun read. =) Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Those books look good, great teasers! Check out my TT @ This Is How It’s Supposed To Be
Thanks for stopping by!
Great teasers girls! Dani! I did teasers from Opal as well!! Lol!

YAY!
Great teasers! That was a fun part of Beautiful Chaos.
Yes, Beautiful Chaos seemed to go in circles for a while but that ending…wowsers. I really wasn’t expecting that…I figured there would be some loophole or something 😉
