Teaser Tuesday (44)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme, hosted by MizB of Should be Reading. Just do the following:

Grab your current read

Open to a random page

Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page

DO NOT INCLUDE SPOILERS (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away, so that you don't ruin the book for others)

Share the title and author so that other participants can add the book to their TBR list is they like your teasers!

I'm finally reading book 3 from Shannon Delany's 13 to Life series, Bargains and Betrayals. My teaser is a little spoilery if you haven't read the end of Secrets and Shadows. Here it is:

"Tell me if Pietr's alive!"
But the needle was in, the plunger down, and everything wobbled in my sight like heat waves hovering above blacktop.
"Tell me." My tongue slow, the words were thick, as blurred as my vision. I fought to focus, desperate for an answer . . .
"What does it matter? You'll never see him again."
And the darkness chewing at the edge of my failing vision finally stole my senses away.

Okay, so it's a long one this week, but you have to read the whole thing to get the full effect! My heart is in knots because I don't know what's going to happen to Jess or Pietr in this novel. I can't wait to find out!

Feel free to share your teasers! I'd love to see what you're reading.
