Teaser Tuesday 13

This is how it works:

• Grab your current read.
• Let the book fall open to a random page.
• Share with us two (2) ‘teaser’ sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
• You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your ‘teaser’ from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
• Please avoid spoilers!
