Teaser Tuesday: Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong

When I started reading Kelley Armstrong, I wasn't really sure that I would be all that interested in the urban fantasy world. Little did I know that she would quickly become one of my favourite authors, so it is always a pleasure to immerse myself in her world again.

I love the fact that there are multiple characters who are all strong enough to lead the stories, and that there are all sorts of different paranormal characters meaning that some times the book might focus on werewolves, other times on witches and warlocks, or something else! You never quite know.

My teaser this week comes from page 151 of Frostbitten:

And of course every car had to end...in a fifteen-foot drop over ground whizzing past fast enough to make my stomach lurch. That leap between shaking cars set my stomach plummeting every time, no matter how much clearance I had. My first foot would land and it always slid a little, just enough to rip an "oh shit" from my lips before I found my balance.

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!
