My Tease for this week is from
Growl
by Ashley Fontaiine
My Tease from 17% in the eBook.
Mom and Dad (and Meemaw, if around) would roll their eyes when Nana started the story, but I never did. I loved to listen to her sweet southern voice paint a vivid picture of her earlier life, even if it was a load of hog swallow like Daddy said.

Synopsis
My name is Sheryl Ilene Newcomb. And yes, my initials are S.I.N. A funny little piece of whimsical humor my parents found amusing when I arrived.
Then, it turned out to be true. Looking back with wiser eyes now, my family and I concluded that the events leading up to my transformation started the summer I turned nine. But the day we realized there was a problem, and no turning back, was a week before I started my senior year at Junction City High. The day the fangs and claws appeared and the monster inside of me emerged.
When mutilated corpses appeared near a pile of brush down by Caney Creek, everything changed. Because evil woke up and growled, its ominous rumblings heard by every living thing in Locasia County, Mississippi.

I’ll be reviewing this on January 15th. Can’t wait to share!
It’s filled with wonderful quotes like this and so much more than a horror story.

That teaser gave me a warm feeling – thanks for sharing and for visiting my TT https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/teaser-tuesday-january-13/
It did for me too. That’s why I chose it instead of a scary part.
That is a cool cover, it really jumps right out at you with that color! This sounds like a really fun and interesting story, and I want to know more about this Nana! Thanks for stopping by My Teaser today!
I love the cover. Take a close look at the eyes. It’ll reveal more about the creature.
Sounds fun. Like the family dynamic.
So did I. Feels like home and family to me:)
Great teaser! It sounds like a fun, sweet read! Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by my TT @ Addicted Readers! 🙂
Some of it is sweet and some of it is down right scary!
LOL. I can relate to that comment. Great teaser and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Interesting tease. This book is new to me. Hope you enjoy the rest of it.
I did enjoy it! I hope there will be more.
This sounds really good!
Oh, it surely is:)
Ha ha ha! Love this teaser, made me think of my grandma and how much I love to listen to her stories; I hardly ever roll my eyes 🙂
Doesn’t it. It felt so familiar:)
I love a good scary story. This sounds like it will fill the bill.
You’d enjoy this one then!
Intriguing. And creepy. Would love to read it. I look forward to your review.
Makes me think of the stories my grandmother told.
Me too. Felt like home:)
I don’t like the cover at all but I think the premise and quote seem amazing! Definitley intrigued!
Sorry you don’t like the cover. It’s a pretty good representation of the plot. And I’m glad you like the premise and quote:)
Uh, oh. I’ll be watching for your review in a couple of days.
Thanks for stopping by my TT for Fortunata and Jacinta at http://wp.me/pZnGI-h9
It’s up and I hope you check it out:)
It’s not my kind of book, but I love the quote you chose. Reminds me of listening to my grandmother, too.
Thanks for visiting Write Note Reviews.
That’s why it hit me so vividly. Felt familiar:)
I can’t wait to read your review on this! Nice teaser!
Come on by and check it out. It’s up!
Ooh the cover looks great and the teaser made me wanna know more!
Yeah. That’s what I was shooting for:)
That is an awesome cover, and a teaser that really made me curious about nana (I miss my gran!)
I miss my grandma too:)
Love the teaser. I love books with Southern characters. My teaser is from Jennifer Estep’s Black Widow
So do I. That’s why I had to read it since I live on the Gulf Coast!
I’m torn. I’m not good with horror, but the teaser and the blurb has such a wonderful voice!
Thanks for having stopped by my blog!
The writing is wonderful. The horror isn’t a huge part of the story. It’s a lot about family and hope, and tradition too.
Oh, it’s set in Mississippi! Cool. That’s where I live. Sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out!
Awesome. I live on the Gulf Coast so it caught my attention too:)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your TT sounds really interesting – I ‘ve only caught a glimpse of Nana and I already want to know more, she sounds sweet!
Everybody loves their Nana!
Hi Laura,
When you said that this is so much more than a horror story, I just had to check it out in more detail.
Whilst probably not one for me, the synopsis was so interesting and brought your teaser lines to life. I also love that cover art, it really creates an atmosphere and sets the scene before you even get to the first page.
Thanks for sharing,
Yvonne
I’m so glad you like my choice. It jumped out at me so I had to share it.
Wow, that sounds . . . . interesting. Thanks for checking out my TT!
LOL It sure does!
The teaser is sweet, but the blurb is scary!
LOL That’s why I shared it. It really is so much more than horror. There’s strong family dynamics too.
Oh my, the synopsis sounds ominous! Thank you for visiting my blog.
Kind of like a warning. LOL
Great teaser and the cover art is striking too. Thanks for visiting my Teaser this week!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it:)
Good teaser! The books sounds interesting though; I might have to check it out! Thanks for stopping by my Teaser.
Yeah! I hope you do check it out!
This sounds interesting. Looks creepy. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by my blog ♥
