"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."
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."

What's your Tease?
Good teaser. May I ask what you thought of the book? I tried to read it but I couldn't finish it... I just wasn't overly keen.
ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser: http://gulp-fiction.blogspot.co.uk/
Great blog - like the mix of TV and books etc! I am new follower. Can't wait to check out more of your posts.
Best Wishes,

Hi Amber!! I have to say that I really did enjoy Beautiful Creatures. I've been horrible about writing reviews lately, but at some point I hope to do a review that compares the book and the movie. Both were good, but the book had more detail and felt like a more complete story.
DeleteI especially appreciated the fact that the main POV character was male, which isn't something that I've seen before in YA/NA novels.
Thanks for following! I'll be heading over to check out your blog and your Tease!
I definitely appreciated the tables turning - usually with these paranormal romance type books it is the girl who finds out some big mystery about the guy etc... I couldn't finish it though. I may watch the movie and see if it changes my mind.
