"I sighed. I hate the vamp jobs. They think they're so suave. It's not enough for them to slaughter and eat you like a zombie would. No, they want it to be all sexy, too. And, trust me: vampires? Not. Sexy."
p.g 2, Paranormalcy by Kiersten White.
Paranormalcy is the first book in the Paranormalcy series by Kiersten White. I was unsure if I could like a character who is so pink obsessed, but the humor and overall plot really grabbed me. I cheated a bit and included more than two sentences in my teaser this week, but wanted to give a feel for Evie's personality and the paranormal world in which she lives.
This passage brings up an interesting question: If you could see the shriveled corpse beneath the glamour, would you still find vampires sexy?
p.s. Now that BlogFest is over I'll be returning to my regular review schedule, so look for reviews of The Iron Daughter and Paranormalcy later this week.
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
- 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
I so need to read this.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading The Crystal Prison- Book two of the Deptford Mice Trilogy By Robin Jarvis

ReplyDeleteLOL. I'm not into much Paranormal, but that's certainly a spunky narrative. Vamps stopped being sexy a while ago. :P
