My Tease for this week is from
Unlovely
by Celeste Conway
My Teasers from pages 55 and 121 in the hard cover book.
From page 55 :
“You couldn’t fight off a couple of girls?”
“It wasn’t just a couple of girls! It was a pack! And they were as strong as Amazons!”
From page 121 :
“She’s part of Ravenska’s little cult.”
“Her cult?”
“That’s right.”

Synopsis
If he falls for a beautiful dancer, does he risk his heart? Or his life?
• Unlovely is narrated in dark mystery wrapped around a world teens love, that of dancers and dancing.
• Bewitching writing, an eerie story, and a here-and-now thriller, combine for a captivating read of love, loyalty, and dark revenge
• Celeste Conway’s book The Melting Season was featured by the New York Public Library as among 2006’s best teen reads. She also has written two middle-grade novels and teaches writing at Berkley College
“A perfect combination of romance and horror with (dare I say this?) some culture thrown in.” –Lois Duncan, author of Stranger with My Face and Locked in Time
Accidents happen. But they happen more often when the beautiful ballet dancers return each summer to the island. When he hears the ruthless way that the loveliest dancer talks about boys getting what they deserve when they break girls’ hearts, Harley, home for the summer after his first year of college, wonders if he’s losing his mind. He knows for sure that he’s losing his heart to this girl…But then, strange incidents start happening all over the island and Harley is caught between desire and fear: could he also be in danger of losing his life?

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
Loving the cover! This is just the sort of dark YA novel that appeals to me. Congratulations on winning a copy. Here is my Tuesday post https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/first-chapter-first-paragraph-april-28/
I like the cover too. This is bullying to the nth. The girls are lethal! I’ve always wondered how bullies would feel about themselves if forced to look in a mirror at their behavior.
Not sure about this one. Hope you are enjoying it. Here is mine

I’ve just started reading it and I’m enjoying the writing. I’ve not read this author before and looking forward to it.
I love the cover. The book sounds dark. Love the teaser about them being as strong as amazons!
Here is my Teaser.
It’s dark alright. These girls are nasty and I’d steer clear of them. A pack can be deadly.
Sounds like an interesting book.
My teaser this week is from a YA paranormal novel: http://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-empath-by-becca-j-campbell/
It’s got my attention!
I like stories similar to this but I appreciate it better on screen then on paper LOL. It’s just that I don’t have a strong dance backgrounds and sometimes they would do descriptions on choreography and it flies over my head
I’m with you. I usually watch something like this on TV but thought I’d give it a go and I’m enjoying it. So far I haven’t run into much about the choreography. It’s more about the pack of girls and the poor guys:)
Sounds interesting..lol

Tuesday Teaser
I like it so far. The writing is good and I’m curious to keep turning the pages:)
This one sounds really interesting. Having no coordination, I have always admired dancers. I’m on the linky if you want to see what I’m teasing this week. Happy reading!
I wanted to do ballet but they said I was too tall?!!! Odd thing.
I haven’t seen this before. Between the teasers and synopsis, it’s grabbed my attention! Here’s my TT! 🙂
It grabbed me too. That’s why I entered the giveaway. I only enter them when I really want to try a new author or book.
Your teases had me laughing.

Howdy and welcome back!!! Only two weeks until Mom!!!
Can’t help but think of Black Swan – only, because of the cover of course! Have you seen Black Swan? This one looks engrossing though!
Claudia @ My Soul Called Life
I’ve seen Black Swan. Boy was that a strange, dark story. This is different but gets strange and ugly too.
Black Swan was not what I anticipated, but in the end, it was eerily satisfying! 😛
The cover is gorgeous! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this one, it sounds interesting 🙂
My Teaser Tuesday
Tabatha @Shattered Hearts Reviews
Sounds like some dark, mean girls in spite of being dancers or maybe because of it. My Teaser
Probably both and I can never understand how ugly natured people find each other. One alone probably wouldn’t do what these girls do.
What a title! I like the quote about a pack of girls, lol.
My TT this week: Dead Midnight by Marcia Muller at http://wp.me/pZnGI-mW
Yeah. They aren’t really Amazons but they are lethal LOL
LOL I can’t help but laugh. Sounds interesting.
Even with the bullies there are some fun times!
Sounds like an interesting read.
It’s going good so far:)
Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing!
And then some!
