Teaser Tuesday (July 20th)


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB ofShould Be Reading.  TEASER TUESDAYS  link...



Anyone can play along! Just do the following:


Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. {or in my case more}
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you have given!



Please avoid spoilers for those who have not read the book!


My Teaser this week is from: 





On the Prowl (Tales of an Urban Werewolf, #2)

Chapter 2
Page 11
Sentence 11, 12 & 17
I glanced nervously at the door. If the intruder was still in there, I really wanted Mrs. Gerschwitz out of the way.



Please oh please don't come through the door right now,  I thought in the general direction of whatever was in my loft.






What is your teaser link this week from?




Howling At The Moon {My Thoughts}

Howling at the Moon (Tales of an Urban Werewolf, #1)

Romance is about to get a little hairy.
Sophie Garou seems to have it all: a great job at a prestigious accounting firm,
a closet that rivals a Nordstrom showroom, and a terrific boyfriend who
isn't afraid to use the "M" word. There's just one little itty-bitty problem: Sophie
is a werewolf-and her time of month has a whole new meaning.
Needless to say, life among yummy flesh-and-blood humans is no piece of steak....er, cake!, but regular doses of wolfsbane tea and
 a mother who runs a magic shop have helped Sophie keep her paranormal 
pedigree under wraps. Still, when a sexy, 
golden-eyed werewolf prowls into town, Sophie finds herself struggling to keep her animal impulses in check-not to mention trying to keep things on 
track with her super hot (and super human) lawyer boyfriend. 
What's more, someone is threatening to expose Sophie for what she really is. And when her mother is accused of selling a poison-laced potion, Sophie must sniff out a culprit before the fur hits the fan...

How could I pass up reading a book set in a Central Texas town not more than 50 miles from me about a half human Werewolf ? The book is funny at times, not so much at others when the humor is rather forced. I enjoyed reading about places and things that are familiar to me, it really was the reason for picking up the series in the first place!
I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek story that the author came up with about a half human half were main character who is trying her best to live as normally as a human as she can. I have to say that even though the book is not written in the styles that I am used to reading from Patricia Brigss, Moira Rogers or Kelley Armstrong it is still an interesting plot premise. All in all the light easy read was a perfect start to some summer entertainment. Started book 2 and am still carried along on the adventure trail set in Austin....
