Teaser Tuesday 94: Destined for an Early Grave

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current book or recent read.
* Share a few “teaser” sentences from somewhere in the book.
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away. You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title and author so that other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!


I have a two-for-one this week. I've been on a mini Jeaniene Frost read-a-thon, catching up on books of hers borrowed from a friend. I finished Destined For An Early Grave (book four) and am now a little ways into This Side of the Grave (book five). Never a dull moment or bit of rest for Cat and Bones. These are fun, fast-paced paranormal romances with a kick-ass heroine. Can't wait for the next book out in August!





The building hit me in the face so hard I felt my cheek fracture. And then the gunfire registered.
(pg 22)


Later that night, I'd just fallen asleep when the bed shifted. My eyes opened in alarm, then a finger pressed to my lips.
(pg 203)








His legs flashed out, knocking me off-balance. I sprang forward at once, but a hard, cool body flattened me to the cave floor in the next instant. An iron grip closed around my wrist, preventing me from raising the knife.
(pg 3)

Pat: Hope you set it aside because you were busy, not because of the story itself--and that you pick it up again soon!

Kyanara: Time to move the series even higher! Seriously, I think you'd like this one. ;)

Heather said...

Thanks, Cristina -- and thanks for following!

Jenny Q said...

Great teasers! Frost is high on my list of authors to try!

Alice Audrey said...

I take it from the second quote that the narrator survives the gunshots. That's a great descriptive passage.

Heather said...

Jenny Q: Hope you try her soon. Frost is a new-to-me author discovered this year. I love her writing style!

Alice: Well, of course she does, silly human. Otherwise the book would have been over at page 22. *vbg*
