My Teaser for today is from The First Days
by Rhiannon Frater
Teaser #1
“Zombies, or whatever they are, definitely shouldn’t exist in a rational, ordered world. It suddenly feels like we’re living in a horror movie.”
Teaser #2
So small.
So very small.
The fingers pressed under the front door of her home were so very small.

Synopsis
Katie is driving to work one beautiful day when a dead man jumps into her car and tries to eat her. That same morning, Jenni opens a bedroom door to find her husband devouring their toddler son.
Fate puts Jenni and Katie—total strangers—together in a pickup, fleeing the suddenly zombie-filled streets of the Texas city in which they live. Before the sun has set, they have become more than just friends and allies—they are bonded as tightly as any two people who have been to war together.
During their cross-Texas odyssey to find and rescue Jenni’s oldest son, Jenni discovers the joy of watching a zombie’s head explode when she shoots its brains out. Katie learns that she’s a terrific tactician—and a pretty good shot.
A chance encounter puts them on the road to an isolated, fortified town, besieged by zombies, where fewer than one hundred people cling to the shreds of civilization.
It looks like the end of the world. But Katie and Jenni and many others will do whatever they have to to stay alive. Run, fight, pick each other up when they stumble, fall in love…anything is possible at the end of the world.

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
“Witch-Water,” by Edward Lee
1. “It’s not ruined at all, Mr. Baxter–bad things happen everywhere.”
2. “If you think this bad, try Central Park.”
Are you liking it? I’ve heard of this one but haven’t had a chance to check it out.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t the book for me. The toddler son part completely turned me off. Ick.
Thank you for stopping by my blog to leave a comment.
I’m a fan of the TV show The Walking Dead so I guess I’ve built up an immunity. Sorry it grossed you out Sandra. Enjoyed yours!
Very creepy, but in a good way. Zombies aren’t my favorite monster, but I do admit the heroes make up for it.
Thanks for the teaser, teaser. 🙂
Definitely need heroes!
Those were both really great teasers. I hope you’re enjoying the book. Thanks for sharing!
I’m loving the book. Been wanting to read this series ever since I read the Untold Tales series of short character stories.
The cover is deliciously ominous. I may need to pick this up since I’m suffering withdrawal from The Walking Dead.
It will satisfy the craving for the undead! I miss The Walking Dead too. Especially with that ending!
I love zombies, so I will have to check this out! Thanks for stopping by Shut Up & Read!
Thank you for stopping by Sheri! I loved Frater’s Untold Tales series and knew I had to read her novels too!
