My Tease for this week is from
Empty Cup
by Suzanne Costigan
My Tease from page 42 in the paperback.
I must look like my father.
No wonder Mom hates me so much.
~~~
Synopsis
Mom’s new boyfriend is creepy.
On the night of her seventeenth birthday, Raven finds out he isn’t just creepy, he’s dangerous. He leaves Raven broken and bleeding, but Mom blames her for what happened. She kicks Raven out of the house with nothing but a blanket to protect her from a frigid winter night.
Alone.
Devastated.
Abandoned.
As Raven struggles with the aftermath of the ultimate betrayal, she seeks solace in her imagination and a teacher who seems to understand her situation. She ultimately discovers that her world won’t change if she relies upon someone else to do it. Real change begins within.

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
Not my cup of tea, but I can see where others would like and enjoy it. Good pick!
I’m enjoying it but it’s not for everyone:)
Perfect teaser. It seems to set the tone for the book. Definitely need to check this one out.
Mine this week: http://www.keeperbookshelf.com/teaser-tuesday-2
Not light reading for sure:)
Oh, my blog partner would like this! She’s into the creepy stuff. Here is mine for this week! http://winterhavenbooks.blogspot.com/2015/01/teaser-tuesday-84-storyspinner-by-becky.html
It isn’t a very long book but there’s a lot going on.
How sad! Hopefully she will succeed and it will end up being an uplifting book.
Mine this week is from Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child: http://wp.me/pZnGI-hW
I’m crossing my fingers for her:)
I loved Terminal Freeze and pretty much every book Child has written!
It sounds so sad, but so good as well! Great teaser! Here’s my TT: https://darcysbookblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/teaser-tuesday-jan-27/
It’s a roller coaster of emotions!
Whoa! That does not sound good at all. I’m liking it. LOL
sherry @ fundinmental My TT ~ The Lie by Ashley Fontainne
You’d definitely like this one!
Wow, definitely a book that could be a page turner. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “THE WEDNESDAY GROUP”
I flew through this one too fast:( Want more. LOL
Oh my, that’s awful. (I mean the synopsis, not your teaser- that was great).
Mine is from The Walls Around us:

It does sound so sad. There are some brighter sides to this too.
A sad teaser.
It is very sad. Lots of dark and light in this one.
Great teaser although this sounds like it will be a tough read. Here is my TT https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/teaser-tuesday-january-27/
Not light reading but well written and I’m enjoying it:)
I can relate to the teaser. My whole life I heard how I was my fathers’ daughter, and since he was never around, it had power.
Might be tough for me to read since I relate so much.
I know what you mean Freda. I’ve read some books lately that almost scared me to open them. I felt it was time to face some issues and it’s still not easy:)
This sounds pretty bleak, and I think I’d really enjoy reading about Raven learning to count on herself!
Great teaser 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Where there is dark there must be light, right?
Wow. What a teaser and synopsis. Will check this out.
Thanks for stopping by earlier.
I hope you do check it out. Wonderful writing and a very emotional read.
Oh, wow! What a horrible situation! I’m not sure you could enjoy this book but I hope you find it a satisfying story. Happy reading!
I am enjoying it but it’s a bitter pill to swallow at times:)
Interesting teaser although I’m not sure if it’s for me.
I can see where some wouldn’t enjoy it. You have to want to read the dark to get to the lighter moments.
This sounds like an intriguing read. Thanks for sharing the tease.
I was intrigued by the blurb and the cover is excellent for this story.
Sounds so incredibly sad, but hopeful. It sounds like a book that would be hard to get through because of the issues being tackled.
Sometimes hard but I hoped for a happy ending. Wish I could tell ya!
Wow, sounds pretty heavy. Your teaser really showed the tone of the book!
Yes it does. An emotional story and I’ve enjoyed it:)
Awww… that is a little sad. Great tease!
