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(s)
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) -- or less or more -- “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!)
A bit of useful information. My name is Victoria “call me Vicki” DeVine.
I used to be Mrs. Yorick Dane, but giving up my married name was one of
the conditions of my receiving valuable property—aka The Jumble—as part
of the divorce settlement. Apparently the second official Mrs. Dane
didn’t like the idea that someone else had had the name first.
Fortunately, she didn’t seem as possessive about Yorick’s Vigorous
Appendage. I could have told her that a couple dozen other women had had
it before she took possession. But it wasn’t likely that she would keep
solo possession of the appendage for long, so let her figure things out
the hard way like I did. Of course, if she had been one of those
indulgences, then she already knew the signs and might be able to nip
them in the bud."
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
In this thrilling and suspenseful fantasy, set in the world of the New York Times
bestselling Others series, Vicki DeVine and her lodger, the
shapeshifter Aggie Crowe, stumble onto a dead body . . . and find
themselves enmeshed in danger and dark secrets.
Human laws do
not apply in the territory controlled by the Others–vampires,
shapeshifters, and paranormal beings even more deadly. And this is a
fact that humans should never, ever forget . . .
After her
divorce, Vicki DeVine took over a rustic resort near Lake Silence, in a
human town that is not human controlled. Towns like Vicki’s have no
distance from the Others, the dominant predators that rule most of the
land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no
boundaries, you never really know what’s out there watching you.
Vicki
was hoping to find a new career and a new life. But when her lodger,
Aggie Crowe–one of the shapeshifting Others–discovers a dead body, Vicki
finds trouble instead. The detectives want to pin the man’s death on
her, despite the evidence that nothing human could have killed the
victim. As Vicki and her friends search for answers, things get
dangerous–and it’ll take everything they have to stay alive.
