Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. This meme is simple and fun, you just pick up your current read, flip to a random page, and choose 1 or 2 teaser sentences to share! Here are the guidelines:
- Grab Your Current Read
- Open to a random page
- Pick two “teaser” sentences from that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO SHARE SPOILERS! (make sure what you share doesn’t give too much away. You don’t want to ruin the book for other readers)
- INCLUDE the TITLE & AUTHOR too, so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR and wish-lists! If possible, add the page number.
I am reading Spider’s Revenge by Jennifer Estep, published by Pocket Books/ Simon & Schuster. I have been wanting to get this book for awhile, and thanks to Kristen from Seeing Night Reviews and RAK, I have it and I’m having fun reading! So, here’s my teaser:
Jo-Jo’s eyes, which were almost colorless except for the pinprick of black at their center, widened when she spotted me on the porch- along with the blood that had pooled underneath my left leg. ”Gin?” Jo-Jo asked in a surprised voice. ”Is that you?” (12% on kindle)
Urban fantasy and paranormal readers, the Elemental Assassin series is excellent, and I recommend it. Here is a little more info on this book (book 5 in the series)
Blurb From Goodreads:
Old habits die hard. And I plan on murdering someone before the night is through.
Killing used to be my regular gig, after all. Gin Blanco, aka the Spider, assassin-for-hire. And I was very good at it. Now, I’m ready to make the one hit that truly matters: Mab Monroe, the dangerous Fire elemental who murdered my family when I was thirteen.
Oh, I don’t think the mission will be easy, but turns out it’s a bit more problematic than expected. The bitch knows I’m coming for her. So now I’m up against the army of lethal bounty hunters she hired to track me down. She also put a price on my baby sister’s head. Keeping Bria safe is my first priority. Taking Mab out is a close second.
Good thing I’ve got my powerful Stone and Ice magic — and my irresistible lover Owen Grayson — to watch my back. This battle has been years in the making, and there’s a chance I won’t survive. But if I’m going down, then Mab’s coming with me…no matter what I have to do to make that happen.
So, what teasers do you have to share this week?

Hi Book Savvy Babe,
I am a HUGE fan of Jennifer Estep and especially of The Elemental Assassins books. That was a great teaser that you chose. I am glad that someone recommended it to you and you like it. I am interested to see where she goes with the continuing story line. <3 Gin and Owen <3
Please check out my teaser and let me know what you think. This is only my second one so I am interested in your thoughts.
Thanks

I think someone recommended the first book in the series to me. It definitely sounds like my kind of paranormal series.

i got 30% Through the first book in the series (Spiders Bite) and i could not read anymore, Estep just repeated everything way too often that i got tired of reading ‘my sister and mother died’ 20 times. Other than that i liked the book but stopped reading, great teaser though.

I’ve got this series on my TBR list. I bought book #2 on audio when it was on sale. I’m just waiting to get #1 so I can start it.

I bought several of these books when Borders was going out of business. I’m looking forward to getting to them one of these days.

I love this series, Gin Blanco is such a unique heroine… she’s an assassin, a deadly one, and she rocks! I recommend getting to this series sooner rather than later- Good luck with that….

The book looks awesome! And a great teaser! I wonder what happened to her leg.
Here’s my TT.
