Teaser Tuesdays: 3 This Week

Gerard's:
  
Her puppets should be safe in the car overnight, but what if they weren't?  She needed them.  They were all she had left, and if she lost them, she might disappear altogether.

From page 8 of Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phllips(Just finished this last week but it's so good, I wanted to do a teaser from it-- click link to see my review)

"I don't know what to do," he whispered.  "I have to help.  I have to know what's going on.  She's my daughter, for God's sake.

From page 9 of Vanished by Kendra Elliot.

Karen's: 

"You keep your mouth shut about this visit, and Baniewicz pleads guilty."  The gun moved against the base of her throat. 

From page 58 from Jury of One by David Ellis.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should  Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading.

Happy Reading!

"Vanished" by Kendra Elliot

Vanished by Kendra Elliot starts out with a young girl missing.  Who took her and why?  The two detectives working this case soon form a relationship.  This book has pretty good action that kept me turning pages.  I liked all the characters and the ending was good.

"Heroes Are My Weakness" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phillips is about a girl named Annie.  She goes back to a place that only holds terror for her and to a man who betrayed her.  Annie will not forget or forgive.  This is really good!  I loved Annie and liked the male lead too.  What made the book was Annie's interaction with her puppets which I loved!  There is also good action in it.

"Chasing Jenna" by Micki Fredricks

Chasing Jenna by Micki Fredricks is about a young girl who goes to college and is befriended by two young men. For the first part of this there is a love triangle story where Jenna is torn between the two guys.  The second part is more exciting because the action picks up.  I understand that the first half sets the scene, but I thought dragged on too long but I loved the ending!  It's well worth reading for sure, glad I stuck with it.

Chasing Jenna is written by Micki Fredricks an Iowa blogger and was just released last month.  I received an ARC of this from the author when I offered to review it.  It is about Jenna, a poor girl from a small town who grew up in an abusive home but is excited about going off to college away from her hometown.  As she is moving in, some boys come by to help her with her things and show her around.  Jenna and her roommate immediately fall for them and find out that The Brotherhood they belong to is not a fraternity, nor is it a house of nice guys who do volunteer work in the community like Cale told them it was.  This shows how easily it is for girls to be deceived and misled.  Jenna was used to going unnoticed, but since she started college, she has two guys clamoring for her. 

This is a good story that would be good for teens to read.  It is scary that this type of thing actually happens but I don’t want to ruin the book for you be saying too much.  It has romance, suspense, action and mystery.  I liked it because although I thought Jenna was a nut case and really didn’t care much for her, I was hoping she would be okay so the story kept my interest.

"The Burning Room" by Michael Connelly is Slow and Boring

The Burning Room by Michael Connelly has Harry Bosch with a new partner, a young girl named Soto.  They are on a case of a 10-yr.-old murder that they are trying to solve.  The main problem I have with this book is that it just moves slow and the action is very limited.  Michael Connelly books are usually pretty good, but this is not one of them.
