Teaser Tuesday: XO by Jeffrey Deaver

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

MY TEASER:

"And there were also, Davis could see, only a few windows and all of them shuttered or shaded.  Although he was perhaps more of a target than some politicians; anyone who's run for office instinctively considers security, particularly lines of fire and sniper's vantage points.  Everywhere.  All the time.

Thank you, Second Amendment."

My teaser is from "Secrets of a Working Dog" By Bella the Boxer.


"The truth is that the problems of the animal world and the human world are gigantic. Sometimes, they make it difficult for anyone, dog or human, to feel like they can make a difference. The “big picture” can be so overwhelming that it makes a sensitive dog like me want to run to the backyard, dig a hole and bury her head."

My teaser is from Shards by James V. Viscos

"The elves exchanged a glance; then Nameless shrugged and said, "No, it is not. We built it many years ago to divert the stream into a small cistern, so we no longer have to go down to the lake for water except when it is extremely dry."
