Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan

And this week's Teaser is from:

Variant (ARCS) by Robinson Wells

And the teasers are:

1. "Yeah," I said, returning the handshake, even though it felt awkward. Teenagers aren't supposed to shake hands. Maybe that was a private school thing, too. Her dad was probably some rich businessman. 

2. It looked like the schools I'd seen on TV, where rich kids go and they all have thier own BMWs and Mercedes. All this place was missing was the ivy on the stone walls, but that was probably hard to grow in a desert.

This week's Teaser is from:

Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay

And the teasers are:

1. Suddenly it's changed, electrified with danger. Romeo has arrived.

2. Still, I can't help but wonder-not for the first time-why people like Gemma are lucky enough to get soul mates. It seems like it should be a privilege reserved for people who suck less.

Hades (Halo, Book Two) (ARC) by Alexandra Adornetto

1. "I'm going as a naughty schoolgirl," Abigail announced.

"In other words you're going as yourself?" Molly said with a snort.

2. The Devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.

He was in a bind, 'cos he was way behind; he was willin' to make a deal.

-Charlie Daniels "Devil Went Down to Georgia"

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

And the teasers are:

1. "Does blood still taste like blood to you? Or does it taste like something else now, like orange juice or something? Because I think the taste of the blood would- "

"It takes like chicken", Simon said just to shut her up.

2. "Did you ever think that in a past life Simon was an old women with ninety cats that was always yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off her lawn?"

This week's Teaser is from:

Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

And the teasers are:
1. The invitation to Valentino Mansion said semiformal, but it was the semi part thaat was tricky. Like a night without a party, "semi" opened up to many possibilities.

2. Tally almost preferred formal white-tie or black-tie parties. The clothes were less comfortable and the parties no fun until everyone got drunk, but at least you didn't have to think so hard about getting dressed.

This week's teaser is from:

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

And the teasers are:

1. I wanted to sleep. I wanted to lie down and black out, and wake up to a world where best friends were never shot and little brothers never kidnapped. I wanted everything to be over and my life to go back to normal.

2. Fear and anger welled, and my sullen thoughts shifted to my present guide. Grimalkin seemed to know the path we should take, but how did he know where Puck would be? Why should I trust him? What if the devious feline was leading me into some sort of trap?

As I was entertaining these bleak thoughts, Grimalkin disappeared again.

Dammit, I'm going to tie a bell around the stupid thing's neck if he doesn't stop that.

This week's teaser is from:

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

And the teasers are:

1. "Floppy says to tell you happy early birthday."

"Tell Floppy thanks." I ruffled Ethan's hair as I left the kitchen, my mood completely soured. I knew it. Mom and Luke would completely forget my birthday tomorrow. I wouldn't get a card, or a cake, or evven a "happy birthday" from anyone. Except my kid brother's stupid stuffed rabbit. How pathetic was that?

2. Back in my room, I grabbed books, homework, gym clothes, and the iPod I'd spent a year saving for, despite Luke's disdain of those "useless, brain-numbing gadgets." In true hick fashion, my stepfather dislikes and distrusts anything could make life easier. Cell phones? No way, we've got a perfectly good landline. Video games? They're the devil's tools, turning kids into delinquents and serial killers.

This week's teaser is from:

Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

And the teasers are:

1. "Please Mrs. Mason, I couldn't help it. The thief just ran into me. I expect they're after her ladyship's jewels."

"I didn't meet anyone on the stairs, so she must still be here somewhere. Make sure the front door is locked and search the house", ordered an energetic female voice. As for you, Walter, go upstairs at once and put something on to cover your hairy legs. Not a nice sight first thing in the morning.

2. "You can tell from that weird signet ring we wears," said Gordon. "Only gay guys wear that sort of thing."

"My grandfather always wore a signet ring," I said, although I didn't really want to get mixed up in this.

Then your grandfather was gay too, said Gordon.

You're just jealous," said Cynthia.

"Jealous? Me?"

" Course you are. Because Mr. Whiteman is the best-looking, most masculine, cleverest, straightest guy guy ever. Next to him you look like a silly, weedy, little boy."

"Thanks very much for the compliment," said Mr. Whiteman.

This week's teaser is from:

Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld

And the teasers are:

1.Alek stood there, his hand on the doorknob. He should be heading up, leaving these godless creatures behind. But he'd spent seven long nights watching the eggs and wondering what would emerge from them. In another few moments he would finally see.

2. At least it was clear enough that the creature didn't eat humans. It was far to small for that, and too.... appealing, even with it's strange excess of skin. Somehow the large eyes seemed wise and sad. Alek found himself wanting to pick up the animal and comfort it.

The creature extended a tiny hand.

This week's teaser is from:

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

And the teasers are:

1. That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonice the Hedgehog and dresses like the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

2. I'm undead. Now, I know you may preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I'm here to tell you that the undead are just like you and me. Simon paused. Well, okay. Possibly more me than you.

2. Don't think you know the battlefield... know you know the battlefield!

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
