TEASER TUESDAY

Teaser Tuesday is an intriguing meme started by Miz B over at Books and a Beat.

All you have to do is:

• 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 Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This week I’m going to stretch a little the parameters of the meme and share more than two sentences, because Patrick Weekes’ THE PROPHECY CON – second volume of the series Rogues of the Republic – holds so many delightfully quotable bits that it seems a pity to cut them short. Here is one of the best:

“Do they even need us?” Kail asked Loch. “You’ve got an acrobat, a mind-reading shapeshifter, and Tern, who can disable security in rooms she isn’t even in.”

“We’re all part of the team, Kail.” Loch grinned. “You flew the airship.”

“Okay, point taken.” Kail raised an eyebrow at her. “Do we need you?”

“Hey!”

“I’m just saying, the fewer ways we split the take, the more for each of us.”

“There’s no take, Kail. We’re saving the Republic again.”

“Right. Damn.”
