Teaser Tuesday #17: Inbetween by Tara Fuller

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


This week's teaser comes from the following book:

Title:  Inbetween
Author:  Tara Fuller
Series:  Kissed by Death #1

Since the car crash that took her father’s life two years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky—and unending—lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.

It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left...his soul.

My teaser:

Mom leaned against the doorframe looking exhausted and every bit her age.  Without her ususal caffeine buzz, it was easier to read her.  She was worried.  And mad.  "Honey, you're not nine anymore.  You can't be with that boy all hours of the night.  What would the neighbors say if they saw him crawling through your window in the middle of the night?" -- p. 138 of galley

Emma...you got some 'splainin' to do!  Teehee.

I'm so excited to be reading this book, you guys!  It immediately grabbed my interest when I stumbled upon it in February -- I also helped with the first cover reveal around that time -- and all of the reviews I've read so far have been pretty stellar.  Reapers are the new vampires.  I can't get enough of them.  Just ask my worn-out Soul Screamers paperbacks.  :D

Look for my stop on the Inbetween Blog Tour on August 24th...I'll have an excerpt for ya!
