My Teasers:

Taken from Mistress by Mistake  by Maggie Robinson

[Pg 7] She slept as if dead, having the most delightful tipsy dream somewhere past midnight.  But when morning came and she found her nightgown hanging from a fat angel's head and a naked man with his lips planted firmly around her left nipple, she knew her dream was now a nightmare"

[Pg 58] When she realised where he was going to put the raspberry fool next, her mouth opened in protest.  Surely he would not do something so scandalous.  But he did"

This isn't the book I'm currently reading but I couldn't resist using these quotes.  You can read my review of Mistress by Mistake here

My Teasers:

Taken from Sex, Lies and Vampires  by Katie MacAlister

[Pg 10] "Unredeemed?" I croaked, wondering if it was too late to change my mind to Alice and settle down to a happy life of insanity in Wonderland.

[Pg 54] "That's got to be against a law of nature. Everyone knows it's physically impossible for vampires to have dimples. Men who have dimples are cute and adorable, like little fluffy bunnies. Vampires are dark, brooding, and tortured. You can't be dark, brooding, and tortured if you could burst out into dimples at any moment."

This isn't the book I'm currently reading but I've not taken part in Teaser Tuesdays for a while & I've been dying to use these quotes!  I have already reviewed Sex, Lies and Vampires so for more information click here to read my review.

My Teaser:
My teaser this week is a shanty that is repeated throughout the Vampirates series by Justin Somper

"I'll tell you a tale of Vampirates,
A tale as old as true.
Yea, I'll sing you a song of an ancient ship,
And it's mighty fearsome crew.
Yea, I'll sing you a song of an ancient ship
That sales the oceans blue...
That haunts the oceans blue

They say that the captain, he wears a veil
So as to curtail your fright
At his death-pale skin
And his lifeless eyes
And his teeth as sharp as night.
Oh, they say that the captain, he wears a veil
And his eyes never see the light."

Just to remind you, I'm on holiday this week. I'm taking my laptop with me but I have a feeling I'm not going to get signal so I probably won't get back online until I get home. I will reply to any comments & return the visit but it might not be until after Easter when I'm back :o)

[Pg 103] "Hey, no problem," I said, even though all I could think was, Slobber!  Werewolf Slobber!  On my skin!

My Teasers:

Taken from Lex Trent versus the Gods by Alex Bell

[Pg 5] There are some people who are born lucky.  They seem to float through life on little golden wings whilst misfortune, hardship and calamity hurry to get out of their hallowed way.  One might say Lex Trent was such a person.

[Pg 27] There was nothing like the excitement of running.  And there was most definitely nothing like the excitement of being chased!

Taken from Prey by Rachel Vincent

[Pg 37] Then he stumbled into view and fell to the gravel on his rump.  The cat he'd been fighting pounced, driving his shoulders to the ground.

[Pg 211] I closed my eyes and ground my teeth together.  Damned logic...

My Teasers:

Taken from Sex and the Single Vampire  by Katie MacAlister

[Pg 15] I took an admittedly shakey breath, looking around the room.  I was alone.  By myself.  In a building that was supposed to be one of the most haunted places in London.  Sometimes I'm not very bright.

[Pg 110] I looked into his eyes and knew I was in trouble, serious, deep, fathomless trouble.  His eyes were dark wells of desire - a desire for me, something I'd never seen in a man's eyes.

I've not read Stolen (the 2nd book in the Women of the Otherworld Series) but after reading these quotes I know I'm going to be reading it soon!

[Pg 11] "...I mean size does matter, no matter what they say, right?  And since we are talking the man for me, my soul mate, he'll be the only one I sleep with for the rest of my life, so I think he should have really nice personal equipment.  Something memorable.  The phrase 'hung like a horse' comes to mind."

[Pg 240] "So what does it feel like when you're drinking someone's blood?" Roxy asked .... "Do blood clots get stuck in your teeth?"

Taken from Kiss of Crimson by Lara Adrian

[Pg 44] For a long moment, he just looked at her, like he was weighing his answer.  "As in vampire, Tess"
Holy Moses on a pogo stick.  He was beyond crazy.

[Pg 119] The feeling hit struck him hard, from out of nowhere.  He had forgotten what true love looked like, it had been so long since he'd paused to notice it.
