Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along; you don't have to be a blogger! 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!
My teaser this week:
Her deceptively innocent look and dirty-girl attitude made a perfect odalisque. Compared to Merry, I was an Amish schoolmarm crossed with Grandma Zelda.
- page 120, The Murderer's Daughters by Randy Susan Meyers (The Book Depository / Amazon)
A piece from the Goodreads description:
Lulu had been warned to never to let her father in, but when he shows up drunk, he's impossible to ignore. He bullies his way past Lulu, who then listens in horror as her parents struggle. She runs for help, but discovers upon her return that he's murdered her mother, stabbed her five-year-old sister, and tried, unsuccessfully, to kill himself.

Feel free to leave your teaser or link to it in the comments section; I find that I always end up adding to my to-buy list when I visit!

I can see that this book would definitely keep me awake. I'd be afraid to close my eyes. My group's teasers are here: Quirky Girls Read

Great teaser! It sounds like an interesting book, from the blurb.
ReplyDeleteOMG! This sounds like a sad but great read! I love the cover. Thanks for stopping by Teaser Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteodalisque - Now that's a word I'm going to have to add to my vocabulary. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThat description sounds like me compared to most of my friends. Seems like a great book!
OK - now I have to go look up the definition of "odalisque." This is like a word of the day calendar built into a meme ;0)
ReplyDeleteNow this books looks good! I'll look for the review!
