This week's teaser comes from the following book:
 |
Author: Ruth Frances Long
Series: n/a
Publisher: Dial Books
Publication Date: August 16, 2012
Source: galley from publisher
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
A darkly compelling mix of romance, fairy tale, and suspense from a new voice in teen fiction.
The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it. Now seventeen, she revisits the woods where Tom was taken, resolving to say good-bye at last. Instead, she's lured into the trees, where she finds strange and dangerous creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with secrets of his own. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack's help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where stunning beauty masks some of the most treacherous evils, and she's faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice--and not just her own.

My teaser:
"She was talking to a tree. Just talking to a tree. Totally normal. People probably did it every day here. They're only trees. She fought an insane urge to laugh." -- p. 181 of galleyI've barely started this book, but while I was searching for a good teaser, I totally got sucked in and read on past the page I had up on the screen of my Nook. So, as soon as I'm done here, I'm going to get right back to it. Love the cover. Love stories about faeries. And I saw the name Puck while I was skimming! Eeeek!
What book has you all giddy with the teasing this week?
