Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.
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!
You and your brothers were “experiments.” Oh, and your dad? He’s likely dead. Well, we think he’s safe, but there’s no way to know for sure.
Reality is only an illusion.
Except for those who can control it…
Worst. Birthday. Ever.
My first boyfriend dumped me—happy birthday, Josie!—my dad is who knows where, I have some weird virus that makes me want to hurl, and now my ex is licking another girl’s tonsils. Oh, and I’m officially the same age as my brother was when he died. Yeah, today is about as fun-filled as the swamps of Dagobah. But then weird things start happening…
Like I make something materialize just by thinking about it.
When hottily-hot badass Reid Wentworth shows up on a motorcycle, everything changes. Like, everything. Who I am. My family. What really happened to my brother. Existence. I am Oculi, and I have the ability to change reality with my thoughts. Now Reid, in all his hotness, is charged with guiding and protecting me as I begin learning how to bend reality. And he’s the only thing standing between me and the secret organization that wants me dead…

No blog? Post a Teaser in the comments anyway!
This made me smile...not sure I should be when a dad might be dead but I liked the lightheartedness of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying it so far. Love the main character. :-) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThis one sounds like fun - I love the premise. How realistic is the bit where she can change reality with her thoughts? Does she have to practice meditation to focus and block out those horrific possibilities - like plunging everyone into the middle of volcano because she hates the very thought of that one, for example? Thank you for popping by my site:)
ReplyDeleteShe's just coming into her powers, so she changes things before she realizes it. She can't move people to dangerous places or situations, but she can make a situation potentially dangerous. Right now, she's still learning control. So far, it is pretty fun. Thanks for visiting! ;-)
DeleteGood teaser! Sounds like a tense moment. Looks like a good book. Thanks for sharing it.
