I shuddered violently and reached for the handle to close the door. As if I had suddenly cut myself, my hand recoiled, and I sucked in a sharp breath.

The handle was wet and it wasn’t raining…

I noticed for the first time, just how many windows faced the porch. Many. Too Many. “Why didn’t we ever get blinds?”

I reached for the remote. I was going to watch my vampire show, damn it.

I had my shit together. Then my pocket buzzed, and I skyrocketed off the couch.

Waking the Merrow

by Heather Rigney

21519284

 

1771e-addtogoodreadsblack

Synopsis

In 1772, angry Rhode Island colonists set fire to a British ship, sparking the American Revolution. Taxation without representation was a motivator. So was the vengeful, man-eating mermaid who had it out for the commanding officer.

That was then. This is now.

Mermaids, or merrow, still hunt in Narragansett Bay, but these days they keep a lower profile.

At night, centuries-old Nomia seduces smutty frat boys, lures them into icy waters, and feeds them to her voracious kin. By day, she and her half-breed daughter attempt to blend in at the coastal Village Playground.

But Nomia slips up. She makes a friend. Then she makes that friend disappear, and someone notices.

Thirty-something Evie McFagan just wants to make it through working motherhood. But she’s a blistering stew of issues—snarky alcoholic and a friendless funeral director who just witnessed Nomia dismembering a guy at the nearby yacht club.

When Evie believes a mermaid stole her baby, who will help? The merrow of Ireland? Or maybe anti-hero Evie will surprise everyone, including herself, and summon the strength to save her own family.

Intertwining the stories of two primordial families with the colonial history of Narragansett Bay,  Waking the Merrow is a dark historical fantasy.

Bones: The Complete Apocalypse Saga

by Mark Wheaton

7034010

 

1771e-addtogoodreadsblack

Synopsis

When mankind is visited by Three Great Apocalypses, the only thing standing in their way is a feckless but loyal, easily distracted yet occasionally ferocious German shepherd named Bones, a one-time cadaver dog with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. This is his amazing story.

In Bones, our hero must battle a plague of dangerous parasites that brings the dead back to life with the goal of destroying the planet. Shepherd finds Bones delivered to earthquake-devastated Los Angeles to hunt for survivors only to run afoul of armies of rage-driven rats and birds emerging from the rubble. And when mankind reaches its final hour and a pocket of surviving Indians are all that’s left of humanity, it falls on Bones to save the species before civilization is wiped out forever in Alpha.

Three Apocalyptic novellas of nature run amok, three interwoven stories that feature a German shepherd at the center of the things, three stories with so much action you might just explode reading them.

Includes prequel short story, Mongrel.

His hold on her dropped for mere seconds, and this was all the time she needed. She ran, trying not to think how much faster a bullet flew when compared to the speed of her skinny legs.

I Can See You

by Joss Landry

22146091

1771e-addtogoodreadsblack

Synopsis

Emma stuck her face to the window to watch the rain. Lightning in the background drew a fiery specter in the sky while her eyes traced the water droplets running down the pane like tears.” Emma Willis is ten years old and has a secret. She not only inherited her grandmother’s power of sight, she can accomplish much more. Like most children without siblings growing up amongst adults, she is precocious yet at times lonely. When a murderer is loose in Newark, a maniac with a thirst for killing little girls, she begins to understand why her Granny Dottie called her sight a curse. She will need all her powers to catch a killer and help the people in her life: Detective Hank Apple, her teacher Christina Tyler, and her little family of three. Only … the madman knows who she is!

“You want a tour, then?”

She nodded, grateful for the delay.

Luca took her hand and proceeded to tow her from room to room at high speed, prattling all the way.

“This is the study, but I rarely use it. Too many books. Claustrophobic.”

“Through here is the dining room, which again I don’t use.”

Luca grinned at her and took the stairs two at a time. Reilla had to run to keep up.

“But we’re going to use this room, here.”

He pulled open the doors to reveal the master bedroom.

“Hey. Are you all right? It’s only a bed, not a torture device.”

Slowly Luca guided her to sit down on the bed, then knelt in front of her.

“See? It doesn’t bite.”

Such a good love story!

Not Juliet

 by Ella Medler 

20737737

 

1771e-addtogoodreadsblack

Synopsis

Riella Smith, an unconventional Romany Princess, travels to Tuscany on the trail of her father’s challenger, to delay him and prevent unnecessary bloodshed and humiliation. What she expects is trouble from a fearsome rival. But life is rarely that easy.
The trouble she finds is of a different kind. Soon, she faces the toughest decision of her life – again – though it should really be a no-brainer. All she has to do is choose between her people and a myth.
After all, there’s no such thing as love at first sight.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page.

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser for today is from

Torn Away

by Jennifer Brown

Genre: YA Contemporary

Teaser #1 from page 21 .

It felt like a never-ending stream of chaos. Like my whole world was being shaken and tossed and torn apart, and like it would never stop. Like I would be stuck in this terror forever.

I was confused, and my arms, legs, back, and head stung. I coiled into myself, gripping my head and crying and crying, half-sobbing, half-shrieking. I don’t know how long I stayed that way before I realized it was over.

Teaser #2 from page 78.

“I’ve seen videos of tornadoes before, but Jersey, I’ve never seen anything like this. It was huge. Had all these little tornadoes circling it too. The thing was so big it looked like it could swallow the whole world.”

It did, I thought. It swallowed my whole world.

My kindle battery died so I picked this up last night to continue reading, and I paid for it this morning. I have no idea what time it was when I fell asleep with the light on. And I felt like a zombie all day at work. But it was worth it.

Luckily, I only have about 30 pages until the end, so I’ll get plenty of sleep tonight!

Book Description:

Born and raised in the Midwest, Jersey Cameron knows all about tornadoes. Or so she thinks. When her town is devastated by a twister, Jersey survives — but loses her mother, her young sister, and her home. As she struggles to overcome her grief, she’s sent to live with her only surviving relatives: first her biological father, then her estranged grandparents.

In an unfamiliar place, Jersey faces a reality she’s never considered before — one in which her mother wasn’t perfect, and neither were her grandparents, but they all loved her just the same. Together, they create a new definition of family. And that’s something no tornado can touch.

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
