Teaser Tuesdays (April 12, 2011)

By -

This Tuesday is a busy day for us. Our Teaser pick is from Of Witches and Warlocks: The Trouble With Spells (Book One), a YA novel by Lacey Weatherford.

"Whenever you're ready, just place your hand in the very center of the cover," she said, sliding the volume toward me.

I took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment then placed my hand on it. As soon as my fingertips grazed the book, I instantly felt a hard pull, as if I had stuck my hand into a vacuum cleaner."

Summary: Portia Mullins had always lived the life of a normal teenager, up until her sixteenth birthday. She is then informed by her grandma that she is actually a witch who is a descendant of a long line of witches and warlocks. After overcoming her disbelief she finds that being a member of the coven comes with one great perk in the form of the school's handsome bad boy, Vance Mangum. Vance and Portia have an immediate connection as a budding romance begins, only to be threatened by turbulent skies on the horizon as Vance's checkered past rears its ugly head to haunt them. Portia is forced to use her untried powers in defense of everything she loves in a desperate attempt to hold on to the one thing that really matters in her life.

The Trouble With Spells, paperback,246 pages, is published by Global Authors Publishers and is available now. The Kindle edition is available for the great low price of 99 cents!

    If the pull is that strong by just touching the book, I can't imagine what happens when you open the cover. Good teaser.

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 d...
