Teaser Tuesdays are hosted by Should Be Reading. MizB asks us to:(1) Grab our current reads.
(2) Let the book fall open to a random page.
(3) Share two (or three) teaser sentences from that page somewhere between lines 7 and 12 (avoiding spoilers).
We're also supposed to share the book title and author so others can find the book themselves.
Here's my teaser for today, from BoneMan's Daughter by Ted Dekker :
"I love you, Mother, and I will learn whatever you have to teach me. But don't expect me to live the same life you live, hopping around from party to party, man to man, looking to fill the hole in your soul with social fluff."I've just started this book. So far I've been introduced to Ryan Evans, a navy intelligence officer serving in Iraq, and his estranged wife, Celine, and sixteen-year-old daughter, Bethany. We've had the first inkling that the BoneMan, who previously killed someone at Bethany's high school, is out of prison. He'd served 2 years and Celine was one of the people who helped put him in jail.
(Thank you to Miriam Parker at Hachette Book Group for this book!)
Sounds good. I've heard such good things about this author. Tahnks for the teaser :)
ReplyDeleteWell, that's got me wondering what's happening!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great teaser! This book has definitely caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteSounds like there might be trouble in the mother-daughter relationship there. Good teaser. I've heard a lot about the book. I look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser. I have heard of this book but dont know anything about it. Was that comment from the 16 year old? if so she sounded very grown up which is a little sad.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely interesting -- still trying to figure out how he's going to tie everything together.
ReplyDeleteAll the characters are deeply flawed (including the 16-year-old quoted here), which is taking some getting used to and definitely heightens the conflicts.
