Teaser Tuesday (6th September)

 

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should be Reading

Anyone can play along, just do the following:

* Grab your current read/s
* Open to a random page (I have a kindle so I select a location)
* Share two (2) teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS (make sure what you share doesn't give too much away)
* Share the Title and author so if someone likes your TT they can add it to their TBR pile.
* If someone comments and says they are following, be a dear and follow back. Spread the love... and the followers. 

 
Title: Saving June
Pages: 375
Author: Hannah Harrington
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Amazon: Saving June

Synopsis. (Goodreads) 

When her older sister commits suicide and her divorcing parents decide to divide the ashes, Harper Scott takes her sister's urn to the one place June always wanted to go: California. On the road with her best friend, plus an intriguing guy with a mysterious connection to June, Harper discovers truths about her sister, herself and life. 

TEASER:  Gwen is certainly...interesting. Is that the kind of girl Jake is attracted to? Petulant and pretentious? She's pretty, I'll give her that, but none of her outer beauty could really be worth putting up with the constant bitchitude and baby voice. (Location 1056)

 
Title: Anna Dressed in Blood
Author: Kendare Blake
Pages: 316
Publisher: Tor Teen

Synopsis. (Goodreads) 

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.
So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life. 

TEASER: "Get out!" Anna shouts from directly over my shoulder. I peek over the back of the couch and there she is, my goddess of death, her hair snaking out in a great black cloud, her teeth grinding hard enough to make living gums bleed.
