Teaser Tuesdays (23) Prized


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists!

I recommend reading Birthmarked first!

    Intriguing teaser. I have never read anything by the author but have looked at a couple. My teasers are from Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and Sweet Talk by Julie Garwood. Happy reading!

    BTW - I am a new follower.

    It does sound intriguing and I do agree, sometimes hope is the worst thing because you always try again! The cover is gorgeous though! Thanks for sharing and hop on over if you have the time:
