(Gryphon Series Book 3)

By:  Stacey Rourke

The author was kind enough to send me review copies of the whole series so I've been trying to get caught up the past couple of weeks. (See my reviews of books one and two.) I just started book three, Sacrifice. I've really been enjoying the whole series!

This week's teaser comes from Embrace by Stacey Rourke. The author was kind enough to send me the book to review. So far, I'm digging this series!

"The girls that had nodded now sneered in my general direction, as if they too found my comments ridiculous. Traitors."

This week's teaser is coming from the hub's current read. Hubs sometimes reads books similar to me and sometimes not so much. Sometimes his reads run a bit on the darker side and a little more blood and guts than I usually like. But that's okay because there is a book out there for everyone! And hubs and I have both read books we wouldn't have normal read had the other not encouraged us to do so. We've found new favorites venturing out of our reading boundaries. So with out further delay....

"Tracking the laser to the center of her chest, I squeezed the trigger twice. The recoil jolted up my arm and her chest exploded, more gore blossoming in inky wet flowers. It took the fight right out of her."

This week's Teaser Tuesday comes from MrCaptKirk.  The following comes from A Game of Thrones which is the first installment in George R. R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series.  I have been reading this book for a while, several months in fact.  It's not that the book is bad, it's that I just haven't had that much time to sit down and read.

You can find more information about 'A Game of Thrones' and the A Song of Fire and Ice series on Goodreads.

"She opened her arms to the fire, embraced it, let it swallow her whole, let it cleanse her and temper her and scour her clean.  She could feel her flesh sear and blacken and slough away, could feel her blood boil and turn to steam, and yet there was no pain.  She felt strong and new and fierce"

I've been listening to the audio book version of The Diviners for about a week now. Let me just say, this is one of the scariest, most suspenseful books I've ever listened to/read. It's a great story, it just scares the socks off me during my commute to work! I'm looking forward to the end of this book to see WHAT is really going on and what's going to happen!

"The ladies set to squabbling about the various interpretations of dreams and possible number combinations. No one could ever agree on any one right answer. That's part of what made the game so exciting--all those possibilities."

This week I have a couple of books I'm working on. Last week I just got busy and reading and blogging had to take a backseat to life for a bit. But Alli's back and I have a fresh new teaser for you from Dear Cassie by Lisa Burstein. I was lucky enough to get an eARC and I'm enjoying Cassie's snarkiness. 

  

"I heaved myself up and into the dark cabin. Luckily, there was enough space for me to get in without hitting either of the beds against the wall. I turned and looked at my boots on the ground outside. Hopefully a bear wouldn’t come and eat them."

"Jared sat down, pulled the crumpled poem from his pocket, and read it through again. "In a man's torso, you will find my secret to all mankind." Those lines bothered him. He didn't want to find an old, dead body, even if there there was something really cool inside it."

I got an eARC of Ten Tiny Breaths by K. A. Tucker from the author in exchange for a review. I've just started it but just the first little bit has me hooked. I'm so ready to read the rest of it!

'“Just breathe,” my mom would say. “Ten tiny breaths … Seize them. Feel them. Love them.” Every time I screamed and stomped my feet in anger, or bawled my eyes out in frustration, or turned green with anxiety, she’d calmly recite those same words. Every single time. Exactly the same."
