Teaser Tuesday - 20th Jan 2015


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!
My teaser is taken from Nocturne of a Widow (Sybil Ingram #1) by Amanda DeWees




Chapter One:

'The ability to lie persuasively is one of the greatest gifts a woman can possess in this life. Some critics, principally men, will argue that deception in women is inherently evil; but having spent the last fifteen years of my life in the theatre, I can attest that lying not only is sometimes expedient but can save one's career. And as I was to learn in the coming weeks, lying can even save someone's life...or destroy it.'
  
What are your thoughts on this teaser? Would you read this book, or pass?

      If I had continued to post from the first chapter, you'd see it's rather funny in an odd way. Thanks for visiting (:

      The first chapter is rather funny, it's certainly different from the normal paranormal YA books I tend to read. Thanks for posting your link..

    This sounds intriguing! Don't usually like paranormal YA books, but this one looks interesting enough that I might read a few pages to see how it goes :)

    And the lying thing rears it's ugly head. There's some truth to it. Interesting choice!
