This week I have been involved in Fraterfest which was hosted by
KIMBA THE CAFFEINATED BOOK REVIEWER
The Fraterfest Read-a-Thon was lots of fun and I finished two books and have also started a third. So this week I am going to feature 'Teasers' from all three books.
Teaser One:
We are born helpless. We are born trapped within the prison of our minds. And as soon as we become aware, we discover our lifelong companion - loneliness.
YEOMANS, ROLAND (2012-07-19). BURNT OFFERINGS (Kindle Locations 1143-1144). . Kindle Edition.
BURNT OFFERINGS BY ROLAND YEOMANS
WEDNESDAY'S CHILD
THE WEAK HAVE ONE WEAPON
THE DEEPEST THIRST
THE WORDS FLY FREE
When you begin the evening by waking up in a morgue, you just know the rest of the night is going to suck. Captain Samuel McCord must save an undead rabbi against hopeless odds. And what does the Angel of Death want with him?
Teaser Two:
“That feels like a very solid six-pack you’ve got hidden beneath your clothes, and the more I look at you, the more I’m thinking you even have eye-liner on. Very Goth. And very eye-catching.”
Ivie, Jackie (2011-11-20). We Are Gathered (Vampire Assassin League) (Kindle Locations 75-76). Kindle Edition.
Tristan Navarre Invaris knows everything about honor and chivalry, loyalty and sacrifice, respect and principle. As the Vampire Assassin League’s Innovation Specialist, he keeps abreast of every advance, every gadget, and every facet of communication. But there’s one thing he knows nothing
about: Women.
THE WITCH
Rori knows she’s gifted in the dark arts. She’s always known – regardless of what anyone thinks. She’s special. Talented. Odd. Unpopular. She’s found at the fringe of any crowd because she likes it there. She doesn’t need anyone. Never has. Until one night…on a dark empty street…
THE FUSING
From the moment he’s sent to recruit her, Tristan’s hooked. She’s his mate. It’s not open for negotiation or argument. And his presence makes Rori’s powers sharper, more visceral, much more potent. Rori doesn’t know why she fights this mating thing. Nobody else wants her - and Tristan is the most handsome, heart-stirring creature. But there’s that vampire part…

Teaser Three:
Prey? What did he mean by that? Wait a minute, was he talking about her? Didn't he know it was illegal to hunt humans? Laylah was starting to get that helpless feeling and along with it, a little anger at her current situation.

I'm interested in the first teaser - deep and thoughtful.
Here's mine: http://danbrownportal.blogspot.com/2012/10/teaser-tuesday_9.html
Great lines. I like the 3 for 1! I've read Roland's book - he's such a multifaceted writer. Great plots, that also make you think.
Boy, that first teaser is kind of bleak, huh?
I really like this meme. Although it always makes my TBR pile even bigger.
I like the first one best.
Amazing teasers! I love the third one. I'll have to look into this book!
Here's my TT @ The Coffee Pot
Very interesting teasers.

I have Roland's book on my iPad!
I love Teaser Tuesday from you! Loved the excerpts... all great choices... :)
Three great teasers. Roland is always so thought-provoking with his words. And about that six-pack? Yeah...um...imagination working here lol!!
Yes Roland writes a good book!
Yes, I agree Nick, Roland writes a very engaging book!
Yes, I know I will never get to the end of mine!
Yes Freda, it is a very intense read!
I have enjoyed reading it and have started the second book. I haven't got around to the reviews of the books I have recently read. I will try to next week.
Thanks for dropping by.
It is an intense read.
Thanks Morgan!
LOL, It was an interesting book, not at all what I expected, she really enjoyed the six-pack. Roland's book was an intense read and allows the reader a little bit of insight into his McCord character.
