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!
Book 2: Penryn & the End of Days
Published: November 19, 2013
I love this series so much!! I want the next book now!!
TEASER from page 6:
Our mother starts speaking in tongues again. This time she's looking at me while she chants, as if she's praying to me. The guttural almost-words coming from her throat dominate the hushed noises of the crowd. Leave it to mom to add a serious dose of creepiness even in the smoky light of day.
Book Blurb:
In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.
When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.
Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.
Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?

Mom doesn't sound pleased. Great teaser.

How embarrassing for your mom to start speaking in tongues -- especially so loud that she'll "dominate the crowd." I'm intrigued and wondering what's going on.
