Teaser Tuesdays (May 31, 2011)

We love having any Monday off but it always seems to throw off the remainder of the week. That is why our Teaser Tuesdays pick is a day late. The calendar says Wednesday even if our mind says Tuesday.

If you didn't know about this weekly meme, hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading, you choose two lines from a current read (and be careful not to post any kind of spoiler). Our choice is from 44, a YA novel by Jools Sinclair whom we recently showcased during her book blog tour. 

Here's the tease:

"I shuddered at the thought of those hands wrapped around her ankles, the pounding of her fists on the ceramic.
"These really aren't dreams, are they?" she asked.
"No," I said."

The summary: Last year after falling through the ice, seventeen-year-old Abby Craig woke up from death.

But she woke into a world she barely recognizes. She can't see colors, memories have been erased, and her friends all hate her. And then there's Jesse, who she loves, but who refuses to forgive her the one mistake she made long ago.

Just when she thinks it can't get any worse, the visions begin. In them, she sees a faceless serial killer roaming the streets. While the police believe that there have been a lot of accidents in town lately, Abby knows differently. And she soon realizes that it's up to her to find him.

But to stop him, she'll have to confront more than just the killer. She'll have to face something else that was lost in those dark waters. The truth.
