Teaser Tuesday(8)




Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. 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!

"He'd heard that when a person died they saw a tunnel that ended in a bright light. If the person  moved toward the light, God or some already deceased loved one like a great-grandmother would meet them on the other side.  Jacob didn't believe it. He'd accepted that everything would end in black nothingness and for him it did."



This teaser is from The Soulkeepers by G.P. Ching

The Soulkeepers

Goodreads Description:

When fifteen-year-old Jacob Lau is pulled from the crumpled remains of his mother's car, no one can explain why he was driving or why the police can't find his mother's body. Made a ward of his uncle and thousands of miles from home, a beautiful and mysterious neighbor, Dr. Abigail Silva, offers to use her unique abilities to help him find his mom. In exchange, she requires Jacob to train as a Soulkeeper, a biologically gifted warrior charged with protecting human souls. He agrees to her demands, desperate for any clue to the mystery of his mother's disappearance. But soon Jacob finds himself trapped in a web of half-truths, and questions Dr. Silva's motives for helping him.

  8. Great teaser. I think I will have to add this to my tbr list. By the way to answer your question, I'm really enjoying the Mortal Instrument Series.
