Teaser Tuesday #3--Rage

It's teaser Tuesday again.  Today, I'm highlighting RAGE by Jackie Morse Kessler.

Here is how Teaser Tuesday works:

- Grab your current read.

- Open to a random page.

-In the comment section, share a few “teaser” sentences (maybe a short paragraph) from somewhere on that page BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (That means, make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

- Remember to show the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

The Story:  (From the back cover.)

Missy didn't mean to cut so deep.  But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don't find comfort in the touch of a razorblade, but Missy always was...different.

That's why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War.  Now Missy wields a new kind of blade--a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it's with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control.

The Teaser:

"Be seeing you," Adam said.

Not if she could help it.  Missy fled down the hall, her ears ringing with the Matts' laughter, her stupid body reminding her just how much she missed being with Adam.  And that slowly turned to panic. The familiar feeling of suffocation leeched its way through her, making each breath torture, and her heart screamed behind the prison of her ribs.

She thought desperately of her lockbox, tucked safely away in her closet.

Not again, she told herself. Not again.

Whether she meant Adam or her razorblade, Missy couldn't say.

Your turn! Grab your nearest novel and give us a teaser. 

Teaser Tuesday #2--Ship Breaker

It's Teaser Tuesday again! YIPPIE! I'm very excited about this idea. This week, I've started SHIPBREAKER by Paolo Bacigalupi.

Here is how Teaser Tuesday works:
- Grab your current read.
- Open to a random page.
-In the comment section, share a few “teaser” sentences (maybe a short paragraph) from somewhere on that page BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (That means, make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Remember to show the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


The story: (From the back cover)

In America's Gulf Coast region, where grounded oil tankers are being disassembled for parts, Nailer, a teenage boy, works on the light crew, scavenging for copper wiring just to make quote--and hopefully have enough to eat.  But when, by luck or chance, he discovers and exquisite clipper ship beached during a recent hurricane, Nailer faces the most important decision of his life:Strip the ship for all it's worth or rescue its lone survivor, a beautiful and wealthy girl who could lead him to a better life.

The Teaser:


Pima drew her work knife. "Here."


Nailer made a face of disgust.  "You just going to chop her fingers off?"


"No worse than cutting the head off a chicken.  And at least she's not gonna squawk and flap around." Pima set the knife against the girl's finger. "Do it with me?"


"Where do I cut?"


"On the joint," Pima indicated.  "You can't cut through the bone.  This way, they pop right off."


Nailer shrugged and got out his own knife.  He set it against the joint where it would part easily.  He pressed his blade into the girl's flesh.  Blood welled up as he cut. 


The girl's black eyes blinked.

Dark Song-- By Gail Giles
pp.198
{Mark} stood up, no longer leaning.  "But there's something else.  I felt like I was steel and you were a magnet. I had a gut feeling I could tell you my secrets and you wouldn't betray me."  Now his eyes penetrated mine, and I shivered. "There's something dark in you, Ames, that was searching for the dark in me." He turned and left the room.


That's it. Now, go grab your current read and give us a teaser. :)
