Teaser Tuesday (17): Fire and Ash

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Fire and Ash by Jonathan Maberry
Book 4 of the Benny Imura series
Published August 13, 2013

 

I love this series and am savoring these last pages in this final book. If you have not started this series, I highly recommend it. The first book is Rot and Ruin.

 

Fire and Ash Teaser (page 10):

 

The soldier wiped at the trickle of blood on his throat. "He ain't alive."

 

"He's. Not. Dead." Benny spaced and emphasized each word.

 

"Yeah. Sure. Whatever you want, kid."

 

 

To keep this spoiler free for the series, I'll enclose the Book Blurb for book one - Rot and Ruin:

In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human.
