Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that 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!

This week I chose a creepy book I can't wait to finish.
"I dream that a dark shape puts me in the crib, puts a hand over my mouth, and whispers in my ear. Shh, it says. And, Wait. No one is there, no one is touching me, and when the wind comes in around the edges of the window frame, my skin is cold. I wake up feeling lonely, like the world is big and freezing and scary. Like I will never have anyone touch me again."
-page 1 of The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

That gives me the heebie-jeebies! Especially since that cover to go with it is so dark!
I broke the rules a bit this week, because without all of those sentences the voice of the book couldn't be heard. Sorry, MizB! :)
I just cannot wait to finish this book. This quote is from the FIRST page of the book. It's the second paragraph. I made it through a few chapters and am very excited. It seems right up my alley.
Hope it entices you the same way it did me!
Happy Reading!
= Unreadable. Unrecommended.
