My tease is from

A Zombie Christmas

by Anthony Renfro

 

c8df8-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack

Here is my tease from page 73  of the paperback.

“I want the kids in this neighborhood to wake up Christmas morning and find a present at their door. I want them to feel like Santa is still here, and he is one mean zombie-killing machine that won’t let Christmas die, no matter what the situation.”

and from page 81

The three men sat huddled in the cold, waiting and watching the mall parking lot. There were a lot of zombies shuffling around the open ground, some going into the mall, some coming out. Many of them were carrying shopping bags as if they had spent this day doing last minute Christmas shopping.

Description

In a Zombie Apocalypse, three men risk life and limb to bring happiness to surviving kids on Christmas morning.

My Teaser for today is from I Kissed A Dog

Werewolves of the West #1 

by Carol Van Atta  

I Kissed a Dog (Werewolves of the West, #1)

My tease from 1 %

Almost dying was becoming a bad habit. A habit I needed to break before my luck ran out.

My tease from 10%

I realized I’d have to hold him and get him settled down if I was going to retrieve any information other than : Pet me! Pet me! I like you! Pet me!…For a brief scary second, I couldn’t see or hear anything. Then the memories roared into my mind like a tornado. Woman. Sex. She smelled like a dog. The pictures were beyond my wildest and most horrifying nightmares.

Synopsis

Chloe Carpenter isn’t like other women. She can communicate with animals. A gift she unwrapped following one of her frequent dances with death.

In her otherwise wacky life, she’s finally found a semblance of sanity working at the Plum Beach Wildlife Park, where her unique talents can make life or death differences for the animals in her care. That semblance is shattered when a new veterinarian roars into the park in his spiffed up sports car and sets his golden gaze on her. If she had her way, he’d roar right back out.

Problem: He’s her new coworker and he’s saved her life twice – in the past twenty-four hours.

Zane Marshall, Enforcer for the Pacific Pack of purebred werewolves, has a job to do – figure out who or what is mutilating the young men of Plum Beach.

With orders to find the woman who talks to animals, he accepts a position working alongside the fiery Chloe Carpenter, a female who ignites his interest far more than he ever expected.

Remarkably, she’s the one elusive female with potential to bring meaning and passion to his empty existence.

Problem: She despises him.

Together, they’re forced to unravel a mystery of supernatural proportions, a murderous mystery with eternal implications for everyone. In the process, they discover opposites really do attract.

Major Problem: Zane is pledged to another woman, and she’ll do anything to keep him from Chloe.

My tease from Post 2.

…Trevor quickly brought the light back up to the hole. The light caught whatever was in the pipe, coming out, but as soon as the light touched it, it retracted back inside with great speed.

What the hell was it?

My tease from Muffinz

It wasn’t really a kitten, but not a full grown cat either, and it looked like something was wrong with it.

Then Muffinz opened his mouth, showing rows upon rows of little white daggers…
