  • 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!
Ok so here's mine:  


My teasers are from 'The Forbidden Game' By 'L J Smith'

"You think I'm crazy, don't you? All of you."

Blue bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

Blue bloods.


At first I was in love with the book, then it swapped characters (I'm all for that!), but when the characters swapped I felt lost, and had no idea what was happening.I should point out that overall i did enjoy the book. I kept reading even though I felt confused, but as I read I was able to get used to the swapping of character more and more. I then was able to read the book no-stop.

I never expected the ending. I fell in love with Jack force and learnt to hate 'head bitch' Mimi, his sister.

Overall- if you love good Vs evil and the whole heaven vs hell in the form of vampire, this book is for you.

Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

Sisters Red...well what to say. It was amazing, gripping, and un-put-downable. I'm sure many others would agree?


Sisters Red starts with a prologue letting us readers understand the world we're going to be dwelling into as soon as we open the book. We find Rosie and Scarlett March living in the 'sort-off' middle of nowhere, the house that the book started at.From there we learn that not only are these girls teenagers but they hunt Fenris (werewolves) with the help of Silas.

Sisters Red is Little Red Riding Hood with a twist. When I finished the book I was begging for more. When the face-off scene at the end was playing it's self like a movie in my head, I couldn't put the book down I had to know what happened next, the ending for me was totally unexpected(just the way I like my books).

Overall- Anyone who likes werewolves, sisters who stick together with rough patches, a sexy man with an axe, well look no more. Although I gave this book 4 stars, it's well along the lines of 4.5 stars.

Glass Houses by Rachel Caine

At first I was leaning towards wanting to give the book up and stop reading, but something kept telling me hang on, just read the first 3 chapters then if it's not good enough stop. So that's what I did, I read the first 3 chapters, and by gosh am I glad I read them 3 I carried on till the end as well...

I love Clare and Shane and Eve and Michael. I was chanting in my head for them to watch out for vampires. I had no idea the outcome of the book would leave me hanging and wanting more. The ending came as a shock I never expected some of the characters to change so quickly as to how they did (Oliver)

What was bad about it? At the top of my head I can't think if anything. plus I'm not about to dive back into the book just pick up anything that's wrong with it.

Overall-Must read for anyone who loves Vampires, twists, unexpected change in characters, enemy's you can relate to and the loyal boys who will help you in a time of need I've ever met.

City of Bones By Cassandra Clare

When I found City of Bones I was in the Library and I had no idea what to read. A few weeks ago I had heard friends talking about this couple named Jace and Clary and they said that they were book characters and as a bookworm I immediatly thought I want to read about them. So when I came across the book I kinda grabbed it and ran to the desk.
I agree with everyone that Jace is kind of a jerk but he is a good and funny jerk. When I was reading City of Bones, I was hooked from the first page. The book was like a breze of fresh air because I have read many books about Vampires so to hear about Nephilim who hunt demons and downworlders it was a very good change.
However, when I was reading City of Bones I did find that Cassandra did not describe fully of what was happening in the books. Basically a few of the characters may be in a room and then one left but with a character I had no idea was there.
Overall, I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading City of Ashes the sequal.
