"When I give the word, open it quickly," he said to the Lady Almoner. She nodded, her face as white as her vail.
"Now!"
The Lady Almoner flung the door open; the two young men rushed into the room, weapons at the ready-then fell back in horror.

Teaser Tuesday: Timepiece by Myra McEntire

Happy Tuesday peeps! This teaser brought to you from Myra McEntire's Timepiece,
available June '12!

"Kaleb?" Her voice was muffled, her breath warm through the thin cotton of my pirate costume.
The shirt had seen entirely too much action, and not the good kind. When I got home I was going to burn it.

Teaser Tuesday: A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger

Enjoy my lovelies!
Before I knew what I was doing, I had Nathan pinned to the wall, both our hands letting go of the doorknob at once. I didn't realize I was kissing him until I felt his tongue slide between my lips. Well, at least this wasn't one-sided.
A Midsummer's Nightmare, p. 133

My heart sped up as his finger dipped inside the neck of my sweater, tracing lines over my collar bone. He leaned down and I kissed his closed eyelids, that tiny scar on his cheek.

Something soft and warm slid across my skin. Fur? I held my breath and turned my head. A werewolf was sniffing the blood on my arm.

Teaser Tuesday: Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins


Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
Release Date:  May 1st/12.
Publisher: HarperTeen

Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads: 
What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences? This is life for sons and daughters of fallen angels in Sweet Evil.

Tenderhearted Southern girl, Anna Whitt, was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She’s aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn’t until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage, and her will-power is put to the test. He’s the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

A cross-country trip forces Anna to face the reality that hope and love are not options for her kind. Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

"I wish, just once, that I could see your colours," I whispered.
"Well, I'm glad you can't. And I wish I'd never seen yours." p. 252

      And then she was gone. I looked at Ally. She was watching me carefully, like she'd never met me before and was trying to decide if she trusted me.
     "So ... wanna help me with my pre-calc?" I joked. (p. 70)


Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads:
After their long summer apart, Ally and Jake were hoping for a drama free senior year. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like things will work out that way...again. — It turns out that Chloe is pregnant and says that Jake is the father. Hammond is pissed at his best friend, but mostly can't believe that Ally would stay with Jake. But Ally is tired of being apart from Jake and is willing to make it work. But that is easier said than done when Jake starts blowing Ally off to go to doctor's appointments with Chloe and Ally joins the school play and meets a new cute guy.

But as graduation approaches, things get more complicated as new secrets come out and Ally realizes maybe Jake isn't the guy she thought he was. After everything they've been through can Ally and Jake get out of Orchard Hill with their relationship intact?



Happy Reading!!!

Teaser Tuesday: Perception by Kim Harrington

Perception by Kim Harrington
Release date: March 1st/12.

  He kissed me warily at first, and then - when I didn't pull away - hungrily, like a kiss he'd been storing up for weeks. Warmth radiated out from my lips, down my neck, and through my entire body like a spreading fire.
  My mind was unsure, but my body wasn't. I didn't want our kissing to end. Ever. It felt too good.
Perception, p. 162

Teaser Tuesday

 It worked with Linden, but I'm not quite as hopeful here. Lilac is Madame's most trusted girl. She's trusted with the money, with the training, with the oversight of dresses and performances. But I've never seen Lilac any closer to freedom than the rest of them.
 Still it can't work against me to be on Madame's good side.
 "Just kiss me," I say, raising the latch of our cage and backing in.
Fever, p. 69
