Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. You know the rules: grab your current read, open to a random page and share a two sentence teaser with us (no spoilers!). Be sure to tell us about the book, so we can add it to our TBR list!

This week, my teaser comes from Accidents Happen by Louise Millar. I like the way this passage speaks to the fact that sometimes fear is good for us.

“If there are no wild bears to escape from, or marauding invaders to fight, what do we do? We switch off our flight-or-fight program. We stop relying on our wits to survive.”
