Teaser Tuesday #34, November 29th

Teaser Tuesday 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!

Today's teaser comes from Soulstice by Simon Holt, page 18.
 
"The boy slowly lifted up a severed ear and pressed it against the windowpane. Blood dribbled out of it and down the glass."
 
Well, that isn't creepy at all!
 
And from my own book, Alone I Am Not, page 2.
 
"But whatever I could do, I was going to do. However much life had been twisted around, ground in the dust, spit on until there was just nothing but a speck left, it just kept going."
 
What about you guys? Happy reading!
