Teaser Tuesdays (June 28, 2011)

By -
The date says Tuesdays and this is the day we share a little 'tease' from what we're reading. Since school is officially over for two of us, we all have something to share.

First up is Caity. She's finishing up Allison Van Diepen's latest YA, The Vampire Stalker.
"When he finally pulled back, I saw a burning look in his eyes. We didn't speak for a while as we both tried to regain the control we'd lost.
 "Forgive me," Alexander said.
 I wanted him to kiss me again, but I wasn't sure I could speak. Or move."

Meg's tease is from Ghost Medicine by Andrew Smith.
"I like the color of the sun at dusk, when it cuts down away in the west, turning the air a kind of amber like the whole world is seen through the smoke of Tom and Gabriel's fire. I like the way fading light sucks all the lingering heat from the day at that time of year."

Laurie's tease comes from Divergent by Veronica Roth.
"My knees give out and the floor is cool against my cheek. Something slams into my side and I scream for the first time, a high screech that belongs to someone else and not me, and it slams into my side again, and I can't see anything at all, not even whatever is right in front of my face, the lights out. someone shouts, "Enough!" and I think too much and nothing at all."

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B at ShouldBeReading where you randomly take two lines from your current read and highlight them in a post. What is your tease on this last Tuesday of June?

    Oh, now I want to read Vampire Stalker. I admit I haven't been interested in it until now. *runs off to goodreads* This one sounds good - why have I been resisting??? On the TBR pile. Thanks.

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...
