*Be careful not to include SPOILERS!!*

Immortal Beloved (Immortal Beloved, #1)Here is my teaser from Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan:
Excerpt from page 117:
"Because of the relative length of our lives, so many things lose importance or become lost themselves, against such a huge  backdrop," River continued.  "How many lovers have you had?  How many children?  How many friends have you loved who are dead now?  For regular people, these events are tremendous and shape or change their entire lives.  For us, it's a wink in time.  But they do affect us.  Little by little, bit by bit, loss by loss, we ourselves become diminished.  We've lost so much for so long that most things, most people, most experiences lose their value for us, their weight.  We forget how to value things, how to feel things.  We forget how to love."

*I am really enjoying this book so far! It just released, so go out and grab you a copy!!

Here is my teaser from Firelight by Sophie Jordan:
Firelight (Draki, #1) 
Excerpt from page 17:

"He slaps a had on the ledge and pulls himself inside.  With me.  No more than a foot seperates us.  Tight muscles ripple in his arms and biceps as he braces himself in a crouch, fingers lightly grazing the cave floor.  Our gazes crawl over each other.  Two strange animals inspecting each other for the first time."


I hope you enjoyed this little teaser!  I am about a third of the way through this book and so far it is really good and really original!!

Here is my teaser from Angel Star by Jennifer Murgia

http://thekams.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/angel-star.jpg~page 84: "I watched the clouds stretch across the fading light of the day like elegant fingers, curling and crushing the glow from existence.  Above the trees the sky was already darkening, as though an ink spill was spreading across the heavens, darker than any night I had ever seen.  I took one last look at the blackness that was quickly threading itself into a deep cloud, a blackness that was alive, hovering, waiting.  I ran inside and slammed the door."

Excerpt from page 97..."Niall was actually kind of sexy now that he was furious instead of sulking.  Shadows extended from him like the whispered suggestion of wings, and the lack of light made the lengthy scar on his face look menacing."
