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!
It starts with a whisper: “It’s time for you to know who you are…”
Violet Eden dreads her seventeenth birthday. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. As if that wasn’t enough, disturbing dreams haunt her sleep and leave her with very real injuries. There’s a dark tattoo weaving its way up her arms that wasn’t there before.
Violet is determined to get some answers, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. The guy she thought she could fall in love with has been keeping his identity a secret: he’s only half-human—oh, and same goes for her.
A centuries-old battle between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity has chosen its new warrior. It’s a fight Violet doesn’t want, but she lives her life by two rules: don’t run and don’t quit. When angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden…
“He turned to face me, hurt glistening in his eyes. ‘Do you love him?’
‘I…I don’t know.’
‘But you’re with him?’
‘Yes.’
‘And what about me, Violet? Do you love me?’
‘That’s not fair.’ I looked down at my feet; my pants were covered in dirt and dried blood.”

“‘It’s a slippery slope, the road of sin. Even those with the most noble of causes can justify the need for it. Fabulous, isn’t it? He truly believes in his crusade, even as it stains what is left of his soul.'”

What are you reading this week?
Those teasers are awesome!! I’m not super big on angel books, but this one sounds really good.
I’m actually not either into angel books either. But this book is different. It’s angels secularized if that makes any sense. They’re kind of forces for light or dark — powerful beings from another realm type thing — not really God’s emissaries on earth. God is barely even mentioned at all; his existence unknown. It comes off as more these beings exist, and humans built their own belief system to include them. If that makes any sense.
Very interesting. I’ve seen this one around!
Thanks for stopping by!

Ohhhhh…. You little tease. LOL. I really can’t wait to read this one, but then again I hate hardbacks so I guess I will have a little bit of a wait for this one until it comes out in paperback since I buy all of my books. Great Tease, thanks for sharing.
