This week, my teaser is from The Isle of Blood by Rick Yancey.
Jacob Torrance downed his glass of whiskey, smoothed his neatly trimmed mustache, and then proceeded to drum his fingers aggressively on the arm of the wingback chair. His ruby red signet ring, stamped with the motto of the Society (Nil timendum est), sparked and and spat back the light.-p. 203

Great teaser! Here is my TT.
"Last night I died for the third time this week," the 17-year-old boy said.
Excellent teaser, you always seem to be reading interesting books!
That teaser sounds fantastic!

Hmmm... I like the sound of that read. Excellent way to find new books, thanks G.E. (and thank for your comments on my blog - you're the first person to notice the look changed!)
Another great teaser, I love the cover.
Almost finished the second book in my Christmas Spirit reading challenge, The Stupidest Angel by Christopher moore is so far proving funny if not a little weird.
Happy reading.
Well, I'm intrigued. Love these teasers!
An atomic bomb, for all its power, is on about 1 percent efficient ... Antimatter has long been the focus of intense speculation. Physics of the Impossible frpm Michio Kaku.
Pepca: Thanks! :)

Nope, not the Mafia; though part of the story does take place in Europe.
Will check it out!
Susan: I agree--I don't look at lot of the comments on MizB's blog anymore, one because I don't have as much time, and second because my TBR pile is bursting already. :P
You're welcome! I do like your new blog look. :)
Tracy: Glad you enjoyed it!
It sounds like a funny story from the title.
Same to you. :)
Nisa: Agreed. I love reading teasers!
Stephen: Michio Kaku is an interesting physicist; great teaser!
I'm reading Practice Cake by Dalya Moon. "I didn't know what he meant, and the dull ache in my stomach said I didn't want to know. Bucket list? He had to be kidding - he hated people saying bucket list."
Belle: I just read a post with an interview of her. :) Interesting teaser--I wonder why he hates it when people say bucket list!
Great teaser. I've been meaning to read this series. It looks so good.
Medeia: Thanks!
He's a really good writer. :) Though The Monstrumologist series (I've only read one other book by him) does get violent at times.
