“The man’s face fluttered as if she’d tossed a stone onto the surface of his expression. For a moment she saw something beneath his bland, plump appearance something unpleasant, something which made her want to look away. But the gold kept her looking at him, kept her in her seat.”
page 157, Child 44

Interesting!
The thing that is cool about Teaser Tuesdays is that I am finding books that I normally would not choose to read such as yours.
It’s definitely a good way to discover what books people have got their noses in right now!
Eewww… I feel sorry for her, but I don’t quite know why. Great teaser this week :) Here’s my teaser.
Ha, yes it’s a bit of a grim moment!
I get a definite sense of foreboding from those lines…great teaser! It piqued my interest. Hope the rest of the book is fabulous!
Here’s my teaser.
