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!
Here is mine:
“The doctor set down his cup, pressed his fingertips together as if in prayer, and confided that he believed he might have a solution, but one entailing great personal risk, possible loss of reputation, and worse. However, he would only divulge it if he could be assured that his host would take a blood oath sworn before his ancestors that he never reveal the device, or the doctor’s part in the scheme.”
~Page 115 , In The Shadow of the Cypress by Thomas Steinbeck
What are you reading?
Intriguing teaser. Makes me want to know what the device is.
Sounds interesting.

Wonder what the outcome will be? Good teaser. Here's my teaser.
Kind of a scary thought. Here is my teaser for this week.
Ominous, but I am betting the host will indeed take the blood oath and then the fun begins.
Oh, this sounds good!
My teaser is here
That's a great teaser! Now I will have to go find the book

thanks for visiting my TT.
Just so you know. You mentioned you want to read the book. I advise reading The Secret first. The Missing is second book in her series. You'll miss the secret to why she's missing if you don't read it first.
Now did that make since? You won't be disappointed though. Beverly Lewis is good.
Great teaser! I feel like this could be a scene from a movie, it's painted so vividly!
My teaser is here!
sounds like something I would read
Here's mine.
Nice teaser! I wonder what the solution is? Here's mine:

Great teaser! Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
Fantastic teasers! This sounds like a really interesting book. I hope you are enjoying it.
Here are my teasers
I'm very excited to have read Abi's comments, above, about The Secret and The Missing. And I'm thrilled that The Missing is out now, because I got a review copy of The Secret last year and really liked it. So woo!
But yes, you do need to read The Secret first.
Meanwhile, I love your teaser! It really does make me want to read the book. Well chosen!
My own teaser is at Bookishgal.
Ohhhh i'm completely intrigued, I want more.
Intriguing teaser. I hope that you will enjoy your book. [My Tuesday Teaser]
That sounds like a run in the opposite direction situation to me. Drs. Pah!
My TT is from The Seventh Witch and can be found here
What kind of device? This is a very teasing teaser!
Thanks for stopping by my teaser at Find the Time to Read!
Ohmy! This sounds like an interesting book . . . and I am really 'out of the loop' . . . I didn't know that John Steinbeck's son was a writer. Will definitely check on this.
This sounds really interesting…hmm, what kind of device are they talking about?
Thanks for visiting my teaser.
Intriguing and thanks for stopping by to check out mine earlier…

Whoa that is heavy stuff. Of course, they have to say yes.. right?
Miranda
Wow! Sounds pretty serious. But then, doctors always talk that way! Excellent teaser!
Great teaser! So mysterious. Thanks for checking out mine earlier!
very intriguing teaser!
Thanks for visiting today.
uh oh, sounds a bit sketchy to me. I don't know if I could trust a doctor that didn't want to be associated with whatever the outcome was. Great teaser!
Great teaser! I wonder what the device is. Do I have to swear an oath too?
Not too sure I like the sound of that – sounds suitably ominous! But a great tease, nonetheless. Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday!
