Teaser Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, just do as 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 any spoilers so as not to ruin the book for others!
This week's teaser comes from:
Title: The Immortal Rules
Author: Julie Kagawa
Series: Blood of Eden #1
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Publication Date: April 24, 2012
Number of Pages: 512
In a future world, vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for the key to save humanity."Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten.
Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of "them." The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked--and given the ultimate choice. Die...or become one of the monsters.
Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad.
Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend--a possible cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike.
But it isn't easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what--and who--is worth dying for.
**TEASER COMES FROM AN UNCORRECTED ARC**
TEASER:
"I pulled the blanket over my head and tried to sleep, to forget Ezekiel Crosse. His touch. His warmth. And how badly I wanted to sink my fangs into his throat and truly make him mine."

Great teaser. Loved the cover of this as well. You have a very pretty blog. Here's mine: Small Blonde Hippy
The word fangs creeps me out! You think I would have gotten over that by now considering that vampires have swept the literary world.
Great teaser! This sounds like a great read and a new take (for a book at least - it sounds a little like the movie Daybreakers).
My teaser is here if you'd like a look!
Not my kind of book but good choice for a teaser, it sounds interesting.

Yup. She is definitely conflicted. I really liked this one and can't wait for more in the series. I must be on a "dark" kick this week. My teasers are from Dark Companion by Marta Acosta and Darkness All Around by Doug Magee. Happy reading!
Great teaser! I've seen other teasers from this book too, so it must be a good one.
Mine is from Never Trust a Pretty Wolf.
great teaser! I loved this book! Hope you're enjoying it!
