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!

My Teaser Tuesday choice is Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay.  

 "These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume."
—Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

The most tragic love story in history . . .

Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the souls of true lovers, struggling to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent. Until the day she meets someone she's forbidden to love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy that love.


Teaser:

"I can never love him, no matter how much I might fear the hell he describes.  Fear can force obedience, but it can never transform a heart."

 Page 116


The few pages I read were full of beautiful, captivating words - and from the looks of these two lines it's going to be even better as I read on.  Hope you enjoyed my teaser, and go check this book out!!

(and isn't that cover amazing?!?)

My Teaser:


"By the time I had chased three rabbits and teased a couple in a boat with a close-up glimpse of my lovely, furred self on the shore of the river, I felt much better.  I don't have to change with the moon, but if I go too long on two feet I get restless and moody."

My Teaser:
 
 
"She had sand in her mouth and between her toes, the briny wind raising goose bumps on her skin, and the sweetest spellbound feeling spilling from her heart.  She could, at that moment, have died for him."

-p197 of Fallen by Lauren Kate-
