Teaser Tuesday #6

Posted by SarahS. with 4 comments

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab you'r current read
Open the book to a random page
Share with us two (2) "teaser" sentences from that page
Be careful not to include spoilers! (make sure what you share doesn't give away too much! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title of the book so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR pile if they'd like

"A long time ago I told you that I wouldn't let anything happen to you."

I soften. "I remember," I said. "The day you caught me falling down the stairs."

~Lecacy, Molly Cochran

Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti

Goodreads: Between Noelle's struggles at home and the bullying she endures at school, all she wants is to get away from her small town. Noelle's been nursing a crush on cute, wealthy Julian Porter for ages, but can't imagine a guy like him could ever fall for a girl like her. When things heat up between Noelle and Julian, she has to decide whether she can be her true self with him.

I haven't read any of her books, yet. Why I love the cover...

It just looks so cute, the couple is adorable!

Free Friday #7

Posted by SarahS. with No comments

It's Friday and today Blood Ties by Lori Armstrong is free.

Blood Ties

Lori G. Armstrong

Goodreads: Julie Collins is stuck in a dead-end secretarial job with the Bear Butte County Sheriff’s office, and still grieving over the unsolved murder of her Lakota half-brother. Lack of public interest in finding his murderer, or the killer of several other transient Native American men, has left Julie with a bone-deep cynicism she counters with tequila, cigarettes, and dangerous men. The one bright spot in her mundane life is the time she spends working part-time as a PI with her childhood friend, Kevin Wells. When the body of a sixteen-year old white girl is discovered in nearby Rapid Creek, Julie believes this victim will receive the attention others were denied. Then she learns Kevin has been hired, mysteriously, to find out where the murdered girl spent her last few days. Julie finds herself drawn into the case against her better judgment, and discovers not only the ugly reality of the young girl’s tragic life and brutal death, but ties to her and Kevin’s past that she is increasingly reluctant to revisit. On the surface the situation is eerily familiar. But the parallels end when Julie realizes some family secrets are best kept buried deep. Especially those serious enough to kill for.

Only free today though. :)

Goodreads: Rebecca couldn't feel more out of place in New Orleans, where she comes to spend the year while her dad is traveling. She's staying in a creepy old house with her aunt. And at the snooty prep school, the filthy-rich girls treat Rebecca like she's invisible. Only gorgeous, unavailable Anton Grey seems to give Rebecca the time of day, but she wonders if he's got a hidden agenda. Then one night, in Lafayette Cemetery, Rebecca makes a friend. Sweet, mysterious Lisette is eager to talk to Rebecca, and to show her the nooks and crannies of the city. There's just one catch: Lisette is a ghost. A ghost with a deep, dark secret, and a serious score to settle. As Rebecca learns more from her ghost friend -- and as she slowly learns to trust Anton Grey -- she also uncovers startling truths about her own history. Will Rebecca be able to right the wrongs of the past, or has everything been ruined beyond repair?

I read Paula Morris's other book Dark Souls, before already and i liked it a lot so I'm excited to start this one.
