This week's teaser comes from the following book:

Title: The Evolution of Mara Dyer

Series: Mara Dyer, book #2
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: October 23, 2012
Source: purchased
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past.

She can’t.

She used to think her problems were all in her head.

They aren’t.

She couldn’t imagine that after everything she’s been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets.

She’s wrong.

In this gripping sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, the truth evolves and choices prove deadly. What will become of Mara Dyer next?

My teaser:

"Mara."
"What?"
"It wasn't Jude," Noah said quietly.
"What wasn't Jude?"
"The doll in your bedroom.  He didn't put it there."
I blinked, not getting it.  "Then who did?"
It felt like forever before Noah finally spoke.
"You." -- p. 190

Ack!  I've got chills now!  The Unbecoming was just the beginning of the creepy.  I have a feeling that The Evolution is going to push the border on creeptastic.  I say bring it on!  I've been patiently waiting until I caught up on review books before I really dove into this novel, but now that I'm ready, I kind of want to savor it.  A good book is like a fine wine...you don't just gulp it up, unless you desire to want for more sooner rather than later.  =)

What are you teasing us with today?  Share it in the comments or leave a link so I can stop by!
