She takes my forearm in her hands and moves it to catch the sunlight coming in through the slats. "It looks new.It's going to be a heck of a bruise. Does this hurt?" She takes the back of my arm in one hand and runs the other over the blue patch that's spreading beneath my skin. Her palm is cool and smooth, and leaves my hair standing on end.

Teaser Tuesdays' Rules

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!

Nice teaser! ...Are you reading this one on computer? Brave soul. My eyes can't stand it, so I stick to print books.

My TT this week is STORK by Wendy Delsol, a YA for release 12th October. :)

I've heard of this book, but never read it! It sounds like a rather painful bruise--I wonder how it happened. Nice teaser!

My two sentences are from Morpheus Road: The Light by D.J. MacHale.
