Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted every Tuesday hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Here’s the guidelines of the meme:

  • 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!

I’ve been following the Teaser Tuesday meme for a while now, and even though I have never participated in it before today, I have found quite a few good reads from the participants of this meme. I thought it was high time I got into the game myself.

Beautiful Ugly by Shelia E. Lipsey Envy’s sleek leg exited the car like she was a movie star stepping out of a stretch limo. Clad in a pair of classic black pumps that matched her one piece black dress with butter cream buttons, Envy got out of the car and closed the door behind her.

Here’s a teaser from another book I’m currently reading as well:

Kitty Raises Hell by Carrie Vaughn Even if he hadn’t been a vampire, with a vampire’s hypnotic stare, I wouldn’t have wanted to meet those hard, fierce eyes. I swallowed and hoped my voice worked.

“In my world, loyalty is earned, not given away.”

p.169 of Kitty Raises Hell by Carrie Vaughn

Went a little long with the teaser on the second book, but I couldn’t help it! I’m just loving this book to pieces. :)
