I'm almost finished with Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton. I've loved it so far, and keep finding myself reading slower and smaller chunks at a time to make it last longer.  Nonetheless, all good things must come to an end, and this might be our last Tease from this novel...

The Tease:

"Angela had gone only about a hundred meters along the river when she realized someone was following her. She wasn't surprised. The whole Ravi-being-safe-thing was a big stretch. Two options: This was either the monster or the saboteur.
Either way, she was ready to settle this."

I'm reading Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton, and liking it a lot!  The main portion of the story is a murder mystery - and the death may be connected to a previous murder years before.  In this scene, Angela remembers an event from her first visit to the planet of St. Libra twenty years ago...

The Tease:

"Barclay North was waiting in the big open-plan lounge, with its balcony overlooking the deserted beach.  Angela gave him a coy grin.  "Hi," she said, all husky-voiced."

I'm reading Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton, and I'm quite enjoying it.  The main portion of the story is a murder mystery - and the death may be connected to a previous murder years before.  In this scene, the prisoner Angela and here escort travel through the gate from Earth to St. Libra to begin their search for the alien she claims is responsible for the murders she was accused of so long ago...

The Tease:

"Angela was already searching the sky.  "There," she said simply.  Paresh followed her gaze.  St. Libra's sky was a clean deep turquoise, and somehow seemed to be a whole lot higher than Earth's.  He barely noticed that.  Slicing right across the northern sky like some kind of magical veil was the planet's phenomenal ring system."

I've begun reading Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton, and I'm quite enjoying it so far.  The main portion of the story is a murder mystery - and the death may be connected to a previous murder years before.  In this scene, Angela - who was accused of the previous murder - remembers a disturbing moment from the scene of the crime that she claims she didn't commit...

The Tease:

"The monster was square in the center.  Humanoid, with dark, hard skin mimicking a human's contours, hands opening.  The blades expanding as they straightened out, growing to fill the entire screen.
Angela gasped.  It was her memory.  They'd taken her memory from her, pulled it right out of her skull with their diabolical machine and filthy drugs."

I've finally finished reading Words of Radiance, by Brandon Sanderson (fantastic novel!), and I've switched gears from Fantasy to Sci-Fi, and have moved on to another door stopper - Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton.  At 990 pages, it's not quite as large as Words of Radiance - but it's close!  Today, our Tease is from the opening paragraph of the book.

The Tease:

"As midnight approached, the wild neon colors of the borealis storm came shimmering through the soft snow falling gently across Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.  It was as if nature were partying along with the rest of the city, providing a jade-and-carmine light show far more elegant than any of the fireworks that had been bursting sporadically above the rooftops since Friday."

I've decided that in 2013, I'm going to spend some of my time rereading a few of my old favorites, and so last week I started one of my favorite fantasy novels.  Many people don't care for it, feeling that it is poorly written, plotted, and that the characters and themes are unoriginal.  I don't understand those people.  I love this story, and I love the characters, and while it might not be perfect, it's pretty darn close in my mind.  For a good number of years, Prince Rohan - in spite of, or maybe because of, his flaws - was the perfect man in my eyes and definitely my first Book Crush.

Last week I took our Tease from Chapter 1, where we were introduced to Prince Zehava, the grand Patriarch of the desert.  This week, let's meet Sioned, a young Sunrunner destined to marry Zehava's son Rohan.

The Tease:

"When Sioned was three years old, the death of her parents left her brother Davvi, her elder by twelve winters, Lord of River Run.  Within a few years he married...but the new Lady of River Run was the possessive sort...Thus she purchased Sioned's entry into Goddess Keep. 

There she found companionship among the other students and knowledge enough to feed her ravenous appetite for learning.  The small oddities that her sister-by-marriage derided as "fey" turned out to be indications that she had the faradhi gift and could become a Sunrunner. 

Not everyone who west to Goddess Keep became faradhi, and Lady Andrade did not tolerate arrogance among those who could, or envy among those who could not.  But there were certain distinctions involved in becoming a Sunrunner: the rings of earned rank and periodic visits to the grove of pines near the keep. 
In the year 693, when Sioned was sixteen and had earned the first silver circle on her right middle finger, she went to this place where, if her talents were strong and the Goddess was disposed to revelations, she might glimpse her future."

I'm currently reading Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead.  Unlike many of her other novels this is adult oriented, and so far it is really very good. 

The Tease:

"Shooting an erratically moving target had been difficult.  A slow-moving one, even with a small space to hit, wasn't difficult at all for someone like Mae.  In the space of a heartbeat she raised the gun and shot the woman in the head."

Wow!  I can't believe that I almost forgot Teaser Tuesday AGAIN!  But, it is still Tuesday, and better late than never, right?!

Over the holidays I read the first two books in the Sky Chasers series, Glow, and Spark, by Amy Kathleen Ryan.  I really enjoyed them, and am looking forward to reading the third in the series, Flame.

Last week a friend loaned me a book that I've started and am really liking a lot - Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead.  Unlike many of her other novels this is adult oriented, and so far it is really very good.  In this scene, Justin March - who has just been retrieved from exile in Panama - is easing back into his old job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims.  He's been recalled to solve a string of murders with ceremonial and ritualistic elements that no one else has been able to solve.  And the killer - or killers - will certainly strike again soon...

The Tease:

"His first task for SCI actually wasn't a visit to the murder sites or even the religious groups he'd tagged as possible culprits.  He'd meant what he said to Cornelia: He had someone he was certain could crack the video.  If it really was faked."

I started reading World War Z last week, and so far it's OK.  I'm not 100% sure that I'm down with the format, or style of the writing, but so far it's pretty good. 

The Tease:

"I looked up, through the car's window, the hole in the dead man's skull, and the window on the other side, and that's when I saw the first one.  I spun around and saw five more coming at me from all directions.  And behind them were another ten, fifteen.
I took a shot at the first one, the round went wild."

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."

As you know, I'm reading Lady of Ashes, by Christine Trent, and quite enjoying it!  This Tease makes me glad I'm not a woman living in the 1800's.

The Tease:

"Thankfully, after nearly three hours of questioning, Violet was permitted to leave.  She needed to return home immediately and get out of her corset, as she hadn't been breathing in more than short gasps all day.  The boning was probably permanently imprinted on her skin."

I finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth over the weekend, and honestly I'm not quite sure what I think of it.  But more about that later - Onward to the Tease!  I'm gone back to Lady of Ashes, by Christine Trent, and in this Tease she finds herself in a rather horrifying situation...

The Tease:

"She attempted to work the fingers of her right arm, which sent brilliant lightning flashes of agony up her arm, so she stopped, letting her arm dangle uselessly next to her.  I need help was her last thought before going unconscious again, a sweet relief from the agony in her arm."

I'm about a quarter of the way through Lady of Ashes, by Christine Trent, but had to set that aside when a library e-book became available. Here we have a Tease from about halfway through Insurgent:

Since I finished Theft of Swords I've been itching to continue on with the story of Royce and Hadrian, so I started Rise of Empire, the second book in the series. Royce and Hadrian find themselves far from home on a mysterious mission, and as usual, surrounded by danger...

The Tease:

"Royce turned to see Thranic and Staul.  Staul held a torch and Thranic carried a crossbow.  "It's not safe to venture too far away from you friends, or didn't you think about that Royce?" Thranic said, then fired the crossbow at Royce's heart."

Since I finished Theft of Swords I've been itching to continue on with the story of Royce and Hadrian, so I started Rise of Empire, the second book in the series. Now, yesterday I had a dentist appointment, and in my anxious state I completely forgot to put together a Tease for this week until this afternoon!  But it is still Tuesday somewhere, so - better late than never - here is your Tease!

The Tease:

"Like most afternoons, Modina wandered the sequestered halls and chambers like a ghost searching for something long forgotten.  She heard that people with missing limbs felt an itching in a phantom leg or arm.  Perhaps it was the same for her, as she struggled to scratch at her missing life."

Since I finished Theft of Swords I've been itching to continue on with the story of Royce and Hadrian, so I started Rise of Empire, the second book in the series. In this scene, Amilia - recently a kitchen girl in the palace of the Empress Modina who has been raised to noble status to help train Modina to be a proper empress - worries that she might have an impossible job...

The Tease:

"Despite all the preparations, Modina simply was not ready.  The empress had only recently showed signs of lucidity and managed to follow directions, but no more than that.  In many ways she reminded Amilia of a dog.  Trained to sit and stay, a pup would do as it was told when the master was around, but how many could maintain their composure when left on their own.  A squirrel passing by would break their discipline and off they would go.  Amilia was not permitted on the balcony, and if anything unexpected happened, there was no telling how the empress would react.."

Since I finished Theft of Swords I've been itching to continue on with the story of Royce and Hadrian, so this week I started Rise of Empire.  Princess Arista has managed to convince the rogues to accompany her across a dangerous stretch of the country so that she might meet the leader of the Nationalist Movement and gain their aid in fighting against the empire that threatens to overwhelm her kingdom.

The Tease:

"Arista woke feeling disoriented and confused.  She had been dreaming about riding in her carriage.  She sat across from both Sauly and Esrahaddon.  Only, in her dream, Esrahaddon had hands and Sauly was wearing his bishop's Robes.  They were trying to pour brandy from a flask into a cup and were discussing something - a heated argument, but she could not recall it."

Last week I finished City of Bones, and the ebook of Divergent was on sale, so I thought I would give it a try.  I finished it quickly, within just a few days, and I seriously enjoyed it.  So I thought I would feature a Tease from Divergent, even though I've already finished reading it.  The main character is a 16 year old girl named Tris, who is undergoing a series of tests to determine if she can join society.  But there is something different about her that puts her in great danger, and someone is trying very hard to make sure that Tris doesn't succeed.

The Tease:

"I shift a few inches forward, hoping I am still hidden.  Whoever that voice belongs to, she is pulling the strings; she is responsible for Eric's leadership position; she is the one who wants me dead.  I tilt my head forward, straining to see them before they turn the corner.
Then someone grabs me from behind."

I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare.  I had not planned to read this series so soon, figuring that I'd read it "someday."  But then I saw the movie trailer for City of Bones, and I desperately want to see it, so I decided to read the book first.  It's better than I thought it would be - it's your basic good vs. evil story, but with several twists.  The author has created a very interesting world and mythology for her story that makes it much more than the typical "good guys fight demons" story that we see so often. 

In this scene, Clary has just learned the truth about her mother and father - a truth that she maybe was not prepared to hear...

The Tease:

"Clary could hear her blood pounding in her ears.  She felt as if her life had been built on a sheet of ice as thin as paper, and now the ice was beginning to crack, threatening to plunge her into the icy darkness below.  Down into the dark water, she thought, where all her mother's secrets drifted in the currents, the forgotten remains of a shipwrecked life."

So last week I finished Theft of Swords, Volume One of the Riyria Revelations, by Michael J Sullivan, and began reading City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare.  I had not planned to read this series so soon, figuring that I'd read it "someday."  But last weekend I saw the movie trailer for City of Bones, and it looks so good that I desperately want to see it, so I think I should read the book first.  I'm almost halfway through, and I must admit the book is better than I expected.  In this scene, Jace gives Clary a bit of a warning.

The Tease:

""Don't order any of the faerie food," said Jace, looking at her over the top of his menu.  "It tends to make humans a little crazy.  One minute you're munching a faerie plum, the next minute you're running naked down Madison Avenue with antlers on your head.  Not," he added hastily, "that this has ever happened to me.""
