Teaser & Top Ten Tuesdays

 

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Purple Princess of The Purple Booker. 

Here are the rules:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a page
3. Pick out 2 lines that are SPOILER FREE
4. Name the title, author, etc.

 

Whoa! This book is seriously creepy! And not in the way you would expect, but it is that kind of creepy too!

 

"Mattie didn't move for several moments. There was no other sound so she cautiously started forward again, trying to make less noise. She was conscious of every rustle of clothing, the swipe of her long braid against the back of her coat, the squeak of her leather boots, the rough exhale of her breath.

Something else was breathing." p 74*

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

 

This week's topic is: Valentine’s Day/Love Freebie Top Ten Favorite Book Couples

 

*in no particular order

 

10. AUDREY ROSE & THOMAS--these two just had such a great dynamic together!
9. RACHEL & KISTEN--I loved how these two came together and yes, I'm still torn up by what happened!
8. KATE & JARROD--an oldie but goodie! A high school romance that wasn't instant is so refreshing!

7. ELENA & CLAY--one of my first adult couples that I took too! I like that they had to work at their relationship and wasn't an easy thing to fall back together.
6. CAT & BONES--is there a greater romance than the vampire slayer and the vampire? <3
5. KATY & DAEMON--one of the best hate to love romances ever!

4. CHARLEY & REYES--I mean honestly, I love these two! They're polar opposites yet they fit so well together!
3. MARY ANN & RILEY--yes, I put a cancelled series couple on my list! I loved that Mary Ann was not your average girl (sorta), she was the nerdy type, yet she caught the eye of this super hot werewolf!
2. CLEO & MAGNUS--if you told me when I started this series that they'd be my favorite couple, I would've laughed at you, but OMG THEY ARE MY FAVORITE COUPLE OF THE SERIES!

1. TELLA & LEGEND--I mean, duh!

BONUS PICKS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I CAN'T LEAVE IT AT 10!
