My teaser comes from The Queen’s Pleasure by Brandy Purdy:
From page 263*:
He had promised so much and left me with nothing! And, without my husband, without my father, without love or the kindness, encouragement, and support of loving family and caring friends, I didn’t know how to put the shattered pieces of my life and hear back together and build a new life or dream new dreams for myself.

My teaser comes from Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs:

My teaser comes from Her Highness, the Traitor by Susan Higginbotham:
From location 863*:
Less sinister, but more disturbing to me as a mother, were the stories that emerged about a flirtation with the lady Elizabeth. Seymour had popped into the princess’s room in the morning, bare-legged, and had made as if to pounce on the girl.

My teaser comes from Dreamless by Josephine Angelini:
From location 82*:
That’s when he noticed someone, someone special, like Helen - like those frigging Delos kids. Only this guy was different. There was something inhuman about him. When this guy moved he sort of looked like an insect.

My teaser comes from Graceling by Kristin Cashore:
From pages 41-42:
A small figure came tripping into the hall then. Katsa knew who she was even before she saw the girl’s eyes, one yellow as the squash that grew in the north, and one brown as a patch of mud. This girl she would hurt; this girl she would torture if it would stop her from taking Katsa’s thoughts.
Katsa caught the child’s eyes and stared her down. The girl gasped and backed up a few steps, then turned and ran form the hall.

My teaser comes from Storm by Brigid Kemmerer:
I can’t help it. I have to give you a big teaser.
From page 120:
He still had a death grip on her hand. “Take a deep breath.”
She inhaled and tasted fire. The water pulled back, sucking away from them the way it did on the beach at high tide, the kind of undertow that led to the big waves.
Wicked danger sparked in his eyes. “Now hold it.”

My teaser comes from Until I Die by Amy Plum:
From location 1572*:
Then it’s something dangerous, I thought. Even if she hadn’t meant to, she had told me something I didn’t know. Now, more than ever, I was determined to find another solution.

My teaser comes from Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers:
From location 490*:
As I move toward his chair, I lift a hand to the finely woven net around my hair and slip one of the pearls from it. I bend over to pick up the wine jug, pausing to look at his face. There is a great dark smudge around his lips, as if Mortain has pressed His thumb into the blackness of the man’s soul and smeared it along his mouth to say, Here, this is how he will die.

My teaser comes from Life is But a Dream by Brian James:
I had to give you two extra sentences!
From location 460*:
I think about all of the people sitting in their cars as traffic stands still on the freeway. I think about all of the fathers like mine back in Burbank, mowing their lawns every Saturday and hating every second of it. I think about the girls I was friends with in elementary school and junior high and how they now spend so much of their energy hating so many of the things we loved back then because they are afraid of liking something that makes them different. All of them are so hypnotized by the spinning of the world that they don’t realize they are simply dizzy.
