Teaser Tuesday (61)


Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should be Reading. Anyone can join in. Here's what you need to do.
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!
This week I'm reading Of Triton. Luckily the bookstore that I went to over the weekend had it out early so I had to get myself a copy. And I have to say I am really liking it. Who doesn't enjoy mer-people?

Of Triton (Of Poseidon, #2)

"I could use my Gift to send the fish away from her, or I could just bust all her teeth out. Maturity seems to be evaporating into the air. I wonder if her Gift includes pushing all my buttons in rapid-point five seconds."


Of Triton (Of Poseidon #2), Anna Banks pg 201.
That's my teaser for the week! What book(s) are you teasing?

Most Anticipated (32)

Of Triton (Of Poseidon, #2)
My Most Anticipated Release of the Week is, Of Triton. After the ending of the last book, Of Poseidon I have been dying to find out what happens next. Plus this supernatural book has mer-people. Yep that's definitely very interesting! One of the biggest reasons I loved the first book was all the humor sprinkled throughout the story. I am a sucker for a book that can make me laugh and Of Poseidon certainly did that. I was lucky enough to find this one over the weekend and I am loving what I have read so far!
Summary:
In this sequel to OF POSEIDON, Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm below. Syrena law states that all Half- Breeds should be put to death.

As if that’s not bad enough, her mother’s reappearance among the Syrena turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen’s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she’s never know?(Goodreads)

Of Triton (Of Poseidon #2), Anna Banks. Expected Publication: May 28, 2013; Feiwel & Friends. Hardcover 256 pgs.
Honorable Mentions:

Spirit (Elemental #3), Brigid Kemmerer. Expected Publication: May 28, 2013; K Teen. Paperback 301 pgs.

Jet (Marked Men #2), Jay Crownover. Expected Publication: May 28, 2013; William Morrow. Kindle Edition
Those are the books I am looking forward to this week. Are there any books you really want to get?

Of Poseidon (Of Poseidon, #1)


"Tripping is bad enough. Tripping into someone is much worse. But if that someone has a body that could make sculpted statues jealous--and thinks you've broken your nose on one of his pecs--well, that's when tripping runs a distant second to humane euthanasia."


Anna Banks, Of Poseidon, pg 5 


I really really liked this book. I'm hoping there is another one, I can't wait for more Emma and Galen. That's what I have this week. What about you?
