Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jenn at Books and a Beat. 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 (some times you need more than two for it to make sense).
- 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's teaser comes from Still Mine by Amy Stuart. I'm about 20% through this book and if I had to describe it in one word, I'd choose: INTENSE.
Check this teaser out and you'll know what I mean. Note: Readers who are sensitive to books containing details of violence against women may not want to continue.
"This is what she dreams. Clare lies on the floor among shards of borken glass, her palms cut open. She looks up at him. When she opens her mouth to speak, the beer bottle hits her square between the eyes. She falls back to the cellar floor and the bottle smashes next to her. He bunches the lightbulb and Clare feels its glass rain down. Then he slams the door and locks her in." p.10

ReplyDeleteYikes!!!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of THOSE GIRLS by Chevy Stevens, sounds similar in this aspect.
ReplyDeleteOoh nice teaser! That's definitely an intense one! Totally new to me read! Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely intense teaser. Hope you enjoy it! My teaser is from Quick and the Dead
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling the book would be something like that because of the title. I love it.

I agree. It sounds very intense. This week it is an historical romance - Luck Is No Lady by Amy Sandas - on my adult blog. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYour Teaser definitely sounds intense. This book might be too scary for me.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features a mystery thriller: THE SHADOW CARTEL.
Many thanks for the warning! It really is hardhitting - in every way... Thank you for sharing:). My TT this week is all about running away from demons -

Oh wow. That's intense and then some. Definitely one I'd like to read. It appears she's being held against her will. I can only imagine how much worse it will get. He sounds nuts.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser from The Drafter
I second that, "wow!"! And that's only on page 10?!? Thanks for sharing. My teaser is from a much lighter read in the cozy mystery genre and can be found at: http://abookaddictsview.blogspot.com/2016/04/teaser-tuesday.html
