Teaser Tuesday: BORN OF ILLUSION by Teri Brown

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB over at Should Be Reading. Here are the rules:

• Grab your current read
• Open it to a random page
• Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO REVEAL SPOILERS! (Be sure not to spoil the book for others!
• Make sure your sentences don't reveal something important!)
• Include the title and author to, so that other participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

So technically, I just finished reading this one--but it was awesome, and I had to share!  Plus, isn't that cover Gorgeous???

Teaser:

"The moment our fingers meet, a spark flashes between us, so powerful I feel my heart stutter.  We stand frozen as the first shock subsides into frothy, electrical pulses that travel between our palms and tickle my flesh like effervescent bubbles."--pg. 12 & 13, Born of Illusion

And a second one just because :-).

"I shuffle a single card through my fingers several times, pop it in the air, and catch it in the middle of the deck.  Then I do a one-handed cut, a flip back, and then, for flourish, a long spring.

Some girl indeed."--pg. 180, Born of Illusion

What I really liked is how this book took me to another time and place.  I haven't read a lot of YAs set in this time period (1920s New York), and of course, I'm a sucker for magic and romance :).

Hope everyone's having a great week,

First up to read:

 

OMG to those beautiful covers!!  That veil on Born of Illusion is fierce.  I've been dying to get my hands on The Girl With the Iron Touch forever for several reasons (Jack Dandy!  Hooray!), and it's finally here.  And they all just look so fantastic.  I've been on a historical romance kick lately, but I'm going to have to dig back in soon.  There are just too many great things happening in YA!!

Did you get anything good this week?

Have a great weekend,
