Teaser Tuesdays

By -
Today is Tuesday, March 1 and that means we post our teaser. This week we chose Rage (The Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Riders' Quartet, #2) by Jackie Morse Kessler.

Here's the teaser:

"Missy was only half surprised to see Death waiting in her front yard. She was, however, completely surprised to find him spotlighted by the full moon as he sang and played an acoustic guitar."

With each installment of this unique series, we like the character of Death more and more.

The summary: 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 razor blade, 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.

Rage, 228 pages, paperback, will be published by Harcourt Graphia on April 4.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of ShouldBeReading.

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break do
