Teaser Tuesdays (May 3, 2011)

By -
Happy May! Warmer temperatures and more sun can only mean it is truly springtime and summer will soon be here. Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B at ShouldBeReading where you randomly take two (or sometimes three) lines from your current read and highlight them in a post. I began reading a paranormal YA, Angel Burn, by L. A. Weatherly last night. Here's the tease:

""No, I don't think so, I'm really busy right now." Wrenching myself away from his endless eyes, I started to shut the door, but before I knew what was happening, he'd stepped forward, wedging it open with his foot. His hand shot out and grabbed my own."

Here is the book's summary: Willow knows she’s different from other girls, and not just because she loves tinkering with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into the future and know people’s dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where this power comes from. But the assassin, Alex, does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows more about Willow than Willow herself. He knows that her powers link to dark and dangerous forces, and that he’s one of the few humans left who can fight them. When Alex finds himself falling in love with his sworn enemy, he discovers that nothing is as it seems, least of all good and evil. In the first book in an action-packed, romantic trilogy, L..A. Weatherly sends readers on a thrill-ride of a road trip - and depicts the human race at the brink of a future as catastrophic as it is deceptively beautiful. 

They’re out for your soul . . . and they don’t have heaven in mind.

That last line is a fantastic hook and made me pick up the book. Angel Burn, 464 pages, is published by Candlewick and will be available on May 24th.

What are you reading this week?

The Devouring #2: Soulstice by Simon Holt

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...
