Two teasers again this week. I finished off The Summoning yesterday and I LOVED it. I didn't want everyone to to miss out on a quote from this fantastic book. I have also just started The Forest of Hands and Teeth so my teaser is from the first page. I went for a couple of sentances to give it a little more context.

"Then it touched me again. Long, dry, cold, fingerlike things trickled across the back of my neck. An indescribable smacking, cracking, rustling sound set my every hair on end"

The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong Pg 235

"My mother used to tell me about the ocean. She said there was a place where there was nothing but water as far as you could see and it was always moving, rushing toward you and then away. She once showed me a picture that she said was my great-great-great-grandmother standing in the ocean as a child."

The Forest of Hands & Teeth by Carrie Ryan Pg 1

I have two quotes today as I' reading two books at once (*gasp* a new concept for me but one is not fiction so I can read little bits).


"Lina lived in Quillium Square, over the yard shop run by her Grandmother. When she got to the shop, she burst in the door and cried,' Granny! I'm a messenger!' "

The City of Ember by Heanne DuPrau Page 21

“Bob the builder can’t be a real builder – I have never seen him wolf-whistle at a passing girl or expose his butt –crack; and don’t get me started on Tickle-Me-Elmo. Why that little perv wants to be tickled all the time is beyond me, but I say leave Touch-Me-Up Elmo to hang out with Rugby league players and keep him away from kiddies”.

"While I waited, my instincts nagged me again, a hairs- on-the-back-of-the-neck certainty that someone was focused on me. My instincts had been on a streak, so I paid attention to them, quietly preparing my shield bracelet as I turned my head in a slow, casual look up the street."
