“There was a curse.
 There was a girl.
 And in the end, there was a grave.
I never even saw it coming.”













I really can't find the words to say how much I'm loving this book. I haven't finished it yet, but I love it! Now I just need to buy the other 3 books and I'll be all happy :)

Before I give you the teaser, just one thing. I will put a "(...) at the end of the first paragraph because I won't want to give spoilers.

The teaser:
A figure stood at the back wall, waiting, as I'd feared. (...)

"Hello, sister,” Jackal greeted, his gold eyes shining in the dim light. “It’s about time you showed up.”

"No," I said immediately. "Is this the part where you tell me I'm going to hell?"
"This is hell," Jebbadiah said, gesturing to the town around us.

I love this book! I'm about to finish it. I can't wait for book 2!

Jillian was dumbstruck. Her heart rate increased dramatically. Someone had specifically mentioned her name and the floor where she lived? Why? What was going on?














So far, it's a very interesting read. Can't wait to finish it and share the review :) What's your teaser this week?

My teaser this week is from Lust On The Rocks by  Dianne Venetta

Lust on the Rocks

“Oh my God...” She felt a brush of light-headedness.
“They’re for you,” he said proudly, decked out in a formal black suit and tie, his
smile rivaling the brilliance of the sun.

Don't you just love that cover? *sighs* Makes me wish I had a Martini right now :P

My teaser this week is from The Truth About Us by Dalene Flannigan

The Truth About Us

A passerby might assume she was sleeping, praying, or crying. But Erica was too angry to cry or sleep and she didn't believe in God. She was frozen, her forehead on the steering wheel.

This week I have two teasers. The first one is from a book I've had on my TBR list for about 5 years. At that moment I loved the cover (which is so simple, compared to my usual cover crushes) and I had to buy it. I trie to read it a few times, but I guess I needed to "grow up" as a reader to enjoy it properly. Anyway, the book is called The Poisoned Chalice and it's written by Bernard Knight. Here's the teaser:

The Poisoned Chalice (Crowner John Mystery #2)


The old soldier shrugged, his lined face wooden. He was not going to get involved in the well-known power struggle between Sir John and the sheriff, whatever his own personal sympathies.






My second teaser this week is from another book I'm reading, The Dragonslayer's Sword by Resa Nelson. I always get distracted by that cover. I love it! Here's the teaser:


The Dragonslayer's Sword



Donel’s smile was charming and convincing. “You can’t resist me. If anyone can change your heart, it’s me. I’m not giving up on you, Mistress Blacksmith.”




These are my teasers this week. I hope you liked them. What are your teasers this week?

My Teaser today is from Lethal Remedy by Richard L. Mabry:


Lethal Remedy (Prescription for Trouble, #4)

Three hours later, John Doe lay on a gurney in a corner of the ER. An IV ran into one arm, a blood pressure cuff encircled the other. Spittle dripped from his open mouth and dotted his unshaven chin. His eyes were open and staring. 












Remember my review of the book Diagnosis Death by the same author? Well, Lethal Remedy is the fourth (and latest) book in the series Prescription for Trouble. Hopefully, this book won't be the last. I really liked the previous book.

So that's my teaser for the week. What's yours?

My Teaser today is from The Sworn by Gail Z. Martin:

The black shapes rushed toward the stone circle, and a curtain of light flared between the three men and the advancing shadows. The shadows howled and shrieked, spreading themselves across the glowing barrier until they blotted out the moonlight.

Teaser Tuesdays and Top Ten Tuesdays






Top Ten Tuesday is weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.
Each week, they will post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join, just link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

 Top Ten Books I Feel As Though Everyone Has Read But Me 


  1. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov - I know most people consider this book a classic, but I still won't read it. Ever 
  2. Twilight - Stephenie Meyer - I can't get past Bella being whiny in the first movie and I just cannot make myself go through that again in the book version. And I like my vampires manly, without sparkles.
  3. The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger - no valid excuse here...
  4. Anything by Stephen King - I tried to read Salem's Lot but I couldn't finish it. I felt that nothing happened in that book. Don't think I'll try again with his books.
  5. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - no excuse, just haven't gotten around reading these books
  6. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - they are on my TBR list, I promise. 
  7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Let's just say that me and the classic books aren't good friends. I tried this book when I was a teen. Maybe I should try it again.
  8. Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis - I've only read the first two books in the series. I liked them, but not enough to continue. Probably would've read them had I started the series before reading Lord of the Rings.
  9. Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick - I see these books everywhere. I will try them in the near future.
  10. Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

I just started reading The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker. I hope you enjoy this teaser:

He turned to face the mirrored wall in his bedroom and said it aloud, so the three wigless mannequins to his right could hear it clearly. 

“Beauty is not defined by man, but by God, who determines the most beautiful.”
