I'm currently reading Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia.  I saw the movie earlier this year and quite enjoyed it, and didn't even realize it was based on a novel until after watching the film.  This will be the last Tease from Beautiful Creatures, as I finished it today. In this scene, Ethan finds himself in the middle of a violent confrontation that he has little chance of surviving...

The Tease:

"Fire is loud, full of rage and chaos and destruction.  And fire was all around me.  The smoke in the air was so thick, I was choking on it.  The heat was singeing the hair right off my arms.  It was like a vision from the locket, or worse, like the last of my nightmares - the one where Lena was consumed by fire."

Looking Forward To - Dracula and Grimm

I'm mildly intrigued by the new TV series Dracula that premiere's tonight (10.25.2013).  My first thought when I heard about it was, "Do we really need another Dracula/vampire show?"

Then I realized Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in it, so I'll give it a shot and see how it is. 

Also premiering tonight, Season 3 of Grimm.

Friday night is (hopefully) about to get interesting again...

I'm currently reading Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia.  I saw the movie earlier this year and quite enjoyed it, and didn't even realize it was based on a novel until after watching the film.  Since I found out, I've been wanting to read at least the first book in the series to see if it was any good, and so far I'm quite enjoying it.  In this scene, Ethan visits the grave of the owner of the mysterious locket...

The Tease:

"I walked back over to the hole and reached into my pocket.  I opened the handkerchief with the familiar initials, and lifted the locket up by its chain.
Nothing.
  No visions, and something told me there weren't going to be any more.
  The locket had led us here, showed us what we needed to see."

So I'm currently reading Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia.  I saw the movie earlier this year and quite enjoyed it, and didn't even realize it was based on a novel until after watching the film.  Since I found out, I've been wanting to read at least the first book in the series to see if it was any good, and so far I'm quite enjoying it.  In this scene, Ethan, the main POV character, finds himself in a very uncomfortable situation at a dinner party with unwanted guests...

The Tease:

"I tried to make eye contact with Lena, but her eyes were fixed on Ridley.  And they were fierce.  I just hoped Ridley was the only one her anger was directed at."

I finished Lady of Ashes last week, and spent part of the weekend trying to decide what to read next, and finally settled on Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia.  I saw the movie earlier this year and quite enjoyed it, and didn't even realize it was based on a novel until after watching the film.

The Tease:

"No matter how hard I scrubbed, I couldn't get my heart to stop pounding.  And over the smell of the Ivory soap and the Stop & Shop shampoo, I could still smell it.  Just barely, but I knew it was there.
Lemons and rosemary."
