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!
My teaser for this week is from Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs.
Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start over at a new school. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it’s also a tiny bit scary. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. And even more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the monster.
Gretchen is tired of monsters pulling her out into the wee hours, especially on a school night, but what can she do? Sending the minotaur back to his bleak home is just another notch on her combat belt. She never expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though.
Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very much. But that all tilts sideways when two girls who look eerily like her appear on her doorstep and claim they're triplets, supernatural descendants of some hideous creature from Greek myth, destined to spend their lives hunting monsters.
These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the once-beautiful gorgon maligned by myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight.

My Teaser:
"Even twenty minutes in a scalding shower can't completely wash the stink of minotaur off my body. I lather-rinse-repeat five times, hoping to purge the lingering residue from my hair. Getting up close and personal with a monster is never pretty, but sometimes it's worse than others." -Page 41
I haven't started this yet but I am so excited to read it. It looks amazing :).

Wow. I've never heard of this book, but it sounds awesome! I love Greek mythology and this sounds very cool. Very Percy Jackson-ish. I'll definitely have to add this to my tr list now. Thanks for the tease!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah it was pretty awesome :). Very Percy Jackson-ish. There was even some nudges to Percy Jackson. At least I thought. You should definitely add it.
DeleteI've heard a lot of buzz about this one! Kinda like a Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Percy Jackson. :)
