This teaser is from Fireseed One by Catherine Stine (review ebook) at ~9% into the story:

I can’t exactly blame it on Audun telling me not to sweat it – I can only blame myself.

Grabbing a harpoon from the wall mount, I try to calm my fear that the worst of this is coming over the next crashing wave.

So far, I’m 14% in and it’s going well. I’m still getting a hang of the lingo and layout of the Dominions but I can appreciate the creativity. The author, Catherine Stine, also illustrated the pictures in the book which is pretty cool.

Happy Tuesday!

This teaser is from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith, on page 105:

Judge us not equally, Abraham. We may all deserve hell, but some of us deserve it sooner than others.

I’m nearly half-way through the book and so far it’s pretty cool. You have to like vampires and alternate history/historical fiction though. The way the story is setup from the beginning is unique, at least to me, and I like the way the story is handled. It is quite the adventure. Expect a review in the near future!

As always, thank you for visiting!

Teaser Tuesday: Devil’s Lair

This teaser is from Devil’s Lair by David Wisehart, from 45% according to my Kindle:

It looked like the spearhead glowing in his hand, but when Marco opened his eyes the light was gone and the weapon proved to be nothing more than dull iron. “This one,” he said, before certainty abandoned him.

I’m only 58% of the way through this book but – wow! Religion isn’t really my thing but Devil’s Lair pulls together a great cast of characters and throws them together on a crazy, impossible mission.
