Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
“With the body of a snake and a human head, the creatures were scary enough, but coupled with their ability to turn anyone to stone with their stares, the Gorgons were simply terrifying. This one had wound its way silently from the branches above Aphrodite’s head and had been preparing to dangle in front of her, forcing her to meet its deadly gaze.”
– 3%, With My Last Breath by Courtney Cole
Goodreads summary:
Just when Harmonia thought she had saved everyone she loved, the unthinkable happens and her life is shattered… in the space of just one breath.
Now, she is left alone to shoulder a challenge, because she alone can fulfill a prophecy and restore Olympus. She knows she can succeed; she is the daughter of gods, after all. But will doing so cause her to lose herself?
To find Zeus’ sword, she is forced to return to a place that she knows will cause her pain. But she willingly goes in order to save everyone she loves, because pain alone cannot kill her. Or can it?
What are you reading this week?

Sounds like fun, I’ve not come across Gorgons in a while. And yes, definitely try and read All These Things I’ve done. The main guy is more on the witty/caring side than the snarky, although he does have it in him.
Thanks for stopping by earlier.
And that would be a bummer. Gotta avoid Gorgons at all costs! Nice teaser.
