Teaser Tuesdays (5) July 5





    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 (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
    • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
    • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

    "Impressive," The man says. "But quite basic."
    Celia's brow furrows over her dark eyes and the watch shatters, gears spilling out into the air.
    "Celia," her father says.
    She blushes at the sharpness of his tone and mumbles an apology. The gears float back to the watch, settling into place until the watch is complete again, hands ticking the seconds forward as though nothing had happened.
    "Now that is a bit more impressive," the man in gray suit admits. "But she has a temper."
