Teaser Tuesday

I am not quite sure why but I somehow missed Teaser Tuesday last week! To make up for that, I have two teasers for you this week!

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Should be Reading:

  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
  • Please avoid spoilers!



The first teaser comes from page 246 of Grimspace by Anne Aguirre:


Beneath his intellectual exterior lies a ruthless bastard. And this is the first time I've seen it. I experience a frisson of unease, as if I've been sailing along a smooth sea, unaware of dangers that lurk unseen.






The second comes from The Founding, the first book in the super long Morland Dynasty series. I have no idea why I am starting yet another series (in fact, both of these books are first in a series!), but I have been wanting to read it for ages:

There had never been so few children in the nursery, and Eleanor was suddenly made aware by how thin a thread the Morland futures hung. She decided then and there that she must look around for suitable wives for both Ned and Edmund, and must speak to the King about a match for Thom.

  1. I just bought Grimspace today at Borders. It's been on my list for a long while now, so I decided to just do it.
    Hmmm another family dynasty, maybe I'll consider it.

    On a serious note, my thoughts, prayers and hugs to you and yours during this terrible time. I hope the situation takes a turn for the better.

  2. I know what you mean about starting yet another book - and in a series no less. Ahh - but what fun it will be.
    Great teasers.

  4. Both your teaser and the cover of Grimspace intrigue me. I am putting this one on my TBR pile. Thanks!
