“I hear they feed you in Sing Sing,” Evie muttered. “Three squares a day.”
“Evangeline,” Will said with a sigh. “Charity begins at home.”


So far this book has been a little slow for me, but Evie has kept me turning pages. She has this attitude that I just adore. As I was reading this morning I hit this quote and snorted so this had to be my Teaser Tuesday post.


What are you guys reading?

""Chase," I whispered.
His eyes burst open, wild and disoriented. In a flash, his left fist locked around my throat. The other wound back, ready to strike.
I couldn't breathe to scream. My throat burned. The tears erupted, stinging my skin."

"Zeke." Darren's voice came again, hesitant, as if he feared people were listening. "You know I have no reason to doubt you. If you say she was a vampire, then I believe it. But...but she didn't seem...that bad to me, you know?" He paused, as if shocked he could have voiced such a thing, but continued. "I mean, I know what Jeb's told us. I know he says they're demons and there's nothing human about them, but...I've never seen one before Allison. What if we're wrong?"

"I am not a fortune-teller," Ginger said. Her face reverted back to its usual, stony set. "Do you see a crystal ball? Am I wearing a turban? The information I am privy to is not for others."

I finished this book in the early hours of the morning and decided that this had to be my TT post, this set of lines just totally struck me as a perfect example of the whit and sarcasm this book holds. I loved this story and can't wait to continue on with this series!

"She enjoyed teasing me. A trail of happy satisfaction burned like pink fire, then spun out of her like a pinwheel. It was a magnet that lured me to her. My hand involuntarily reached forward. She came closer, no realizing the motivation behind my gesture, and shocked me by weaving her fingers through mine. I watched-horrified, spellbound-as the pink shimmer crept from her fingertips, across the top of my hand and over my wrist. My forearms hummed and heated until warmth pushed up my arm and broke across my chest, finally bursting through my lips with a sudden, surprising laugh."
Page 134, this is from and Advanced Readers Copy and is subject to change when the actual book is released

I am truly enjoying this book. It is more than I expected it to be. If you like mermaids this will probably give you a different view of them but it is still a terrific read so far.

“I couldn't stop staring at his mouth when he spoke. I bet he knew how to kiss. Perfect kisses too, ones that weren't wet and gross, but the kind that curled toes. 
I needed to stop looking at him in general.” 

“I bet you think things through, right? Accept candy 
from strangers and get into vans with a sign that reads free Kittens?” 

I am loving this book, as you can see from my choices above there is a mix of sexy and funny!

"When I was little, my grandmother use to tell me this story about how I came to live with my family. She said my real mother was a cougar who'd had a late summer litter. She'd been an old cat and knew the signs that it would be a long, hard winter and her cubs wouldn't all survive. So she'd begged the sky god for mercy and he turned her smallest cub into a human girl and told the cat to take her into the city. She'd left me at the hospital, but before she went, she pressed her paw to my hip, leaving me a mark to remember her by."

Ok so it is longer than 2 sentences but when I read this it wowed me.

I LOVE this series, so many great lines lol, such a great book glad I finally started this book!
