Happy Tuesday! It’s time again for another edition of Teaser Tuesdays…
Here are the rules:
- Grab your current read
- Let the book fall open to a random page
- Share with us two (2) “teaser†sentences from somewhere on that page
- You also need to share the title of the book where you get your teaser from…that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given
- Please avoid spoilers
I’m smack dab in the middle of two books right now, but the one nearest to me is Fallen by Lauren Kate and so that will be from where the teaser is pulled.
“Even from this distance, Luce could see black mold covering the face of the dorm. All the windows were obstructed by rows of thick steel bars.” pg. 17 Fallen by Lauren Kate
So far the writing is smooth, but there has only been one small bit of action that’s piqued my curiosity. In fact, I’ve already developed a few quibbles.
I don’t know what to make of Luce just yet, but she’s teetering perilously close to the edge of being a whiney heroine and I believe nearly nothing about her new “friend†Arriane; her actions are anything but consistent with what we’re told. But there’s still time for character development. I might be surprised.
At best I feel the book will redeem itself by the end, and at worst, it will just turn out to be another average read. (I’m hoping for the former.)

Great teaser. I’ve been kind of curious about this book, so I’ll be curious to hear what you think of it by the end.

That’s quite the description in that teaser. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this when you finish. My teaser is up at Calico Contemplations.
