HOST


* 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.

* Please avoid spoilers!


My Teaser:

On Wednesday morning, and about a dozen Vicodin pills later, I am able to shower and wash my hair in preparation for my mother's funeral. I wear a navy blue dress that my mother always liked on me, but I don't bother to blow dry my hair, knowing full well it will end up wavy not straight.

    I liked the teaser. The book sounds really intense. My teasers are from Spell Bound by Kelley Armstrong and Haunting Violet by Alyxandra Harvey. Happy reading!

    Very sad. Such a strong contrast between the ordinariness of a Wednesday morning and the disconnection of a dozen Vicodin pills!

    This is the second gut wrenching teaser that made me want to call my mom now. We always take for granted people around us. This one touched off a trigger for those we lost.
