Teaser Tuesdays!


Hey fellow book lovers! It's another posting of Teaser Tuesdays! Hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading, this week's teaser is...



Imagine a modern spin on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein where a young couple’s undying love and the grief of a father pushed beyond sanity could spell the destruction of them all.
A string of suspicious deaths near a small Michigan town ends with a fall that claims the life of Emma Gentry's boyfriend, Daniel. Emma is broken, a hollow shell mechanically moving through her days. She and Daniel had been made for each other, complete only when they were together. Now she restlessly wanders the town in the late Fall gloom, haunting the cemetery and its white-marbled tombs, feeling Daniel everywhere, his spectre in the moonlight and the fog.
When she encounters newcomer Alex Franks, only son of a renowned widowed surgeon, she's intrigued despite herself. He's an enigma, melting into shadows, preferring to keep to himself. But he is as drawn to her as she is to him. He is strangely... familiar. From the way he knows how to open her locker when it sticks, to the nickname she shared only with Daniel, even his hazel eyes with brown flecks are just like Daniel's.
The closer they become, though, the more something inside her screams there's something very wrong with Alex Franks. And when Emma stumbles across a grotesque and terrifying menagerie of mangled but living animals within the walls of the Franks' estate, creatures she surely knows must have died from their injuries, she knows.

My Teasers: "He stands one isle over, still eyeing Josh, who looks back and doesn't respond. Satisfied, I guess, Alex walks one more desk back to the last empty seat outside of the sick zone around
Asia, and directly across from me. My gaze is drawn to him, the smooth movements, and quiet confidence. As if Alex feels me gawking, he turns his hood my way, and his calm smile falters."
--P.g. 40, "Broken" by A.E. Roguht
