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
Before I get on with this week’s teaser, I realized I had an interesting dilemma on my hands because I’m reading an ebook. I can’t randomly flip to a page and quote it. So, how, then, to quote? With the help of random.org, that’s how. I plugged in the total pages, let the Random Machine do its job and went to that page. OK, I know that was a useless fact to most people, so I’ll just get to the teaser.
This week’s teaser:
“I couldn’t believe it. Here I’d just told him I was a monster, that I was designed to suck souls out of paranormals, and he was okay with it.” ebook pg. 198 Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
This book has been on my radar for at least a year, but I never had an opportunity to read it before. Now I do.
I’m not that far into it, but it already has a fun campy feel. This can get overdone in a heartbeat and I’m not far enough in to know for sure if it does, but for now, it’s perfectly balanced. I’ve already laughed out loud a few times.
I especially love the interaction with the vampire in the opening chapter. That was a hoot.

I’ve heard a lot of different things about this one, so I’ve never really been sure whether to pick it up or not. I do like the teaser though! Hopefully you’ll end up really enjoying it!
Oh, and I read on my Kindle all the time and all I do is type in a random number that pops up in my head (either side or location.) Just like I’d do when just going to a random place in a book.
My TT can be found here!

Thanks for sharing
I’ve seen some mixed reviews on Paranormalcy so I’m looking forward to read your thoughts on it.
