Teaser Tuesdays #3




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's teaser is from By a Thread, by Jennifer Estep (the sixth book in the Elemental Assassin series). I finished reading it a couple of hours ago, but since I'm not currently reading anything, I thought I'd share this quote ;D It's one of my favorites.

 
By a Thread (Elemental Assassin, #6) 

"You forgot one thing. [...] No matter how powerful you think you are, there’s not a fucking thing you can do about a knife in your heart,” I said. “Especially when the Spider is the one who put it there.” 
- Chapter 24


 And that's why I consider Gin the best main character there is. She's scary, ruthless, badass, and still manages to be human and caring. I love her for it <3

This week's teaser is from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance, by Oliver Bowden. I don't know if the story is exactly like the game, but I'm loving it nonetheless. 


"He triggered his poison dagger and moved with the speed and elegance of a wolf, covering the distance in a matter of seconds. He stabbed to death five of the men before the others realized what was
happening, drew his sword, and fiercely killed the rest, their vain lunges bouncing off the metal shield on his left forearm."

-- Chapter 20

So, yes, Ezio is badass ;D

Memes are so much fun, that I decided to participate in Teaser Tuesdays. I'm currently reading The Alchemy of Forever, by Avery Williams. I'm using my Kindle for Android, so I won't have an accurate page. Here's my teaser:




“Did you just say fried chicken cupcake? Is this possible?”

--- Chapter twenty-nine.



I'm loving it so far... the story is very interesting and fast-paced. Not to mention the villain *shudders*.
