Teaser Tuesday!
By Lisa. Filed in Teaser Tuesdays |
Good morning and welcome to another edition of Teaser Tuesdays! You know the rules: take your current read, open to a random page and give us two teaser sentences. No spoilers, please, and be sure to tell us more about the book.
This week, it’s Wake Up Dead by Roger Smith. I have to say that I am not loving this book – a very violent story about crime, revenge and gang wars in the Capetown ghettos. I am curious enough about the story to finish reading it, but I’m not completely engaged so far.
Roxy is having a rough week. She’s been carjacked, her husband is dead and she is being targeted by an assortment her husband’s enemies:
Roxy lay on her back, trapped between the front and read seats, the ugly man on top of her, forcing the gun barrel into her mouth. He stank, and a drop of sweat fell from his forehead onto her cheek, where it rolled down like a tear.
Like I said, a pretty rough week. What’s teasing YOU this week?

I think I’ll skip that one. It would press too many of my buttons. Come by to see what I teased with.

Whoa! Yes, I can see why you’re having trouble engaging with that. I think I’d be tempted to just give up and move on to something more appealing. But it does make an interesting teaser!
Here’s mine.

Hi there! Yes, I see what you mean – great teaser – shame your not loving the book, but glad to see you are sticking it out – you never know it may finally all click together at the end (or maybe it’s a bit too late for that, and that’s wishful thinking!)
Thanks for commenting on mine
