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 Teasers:
The tower, which was not supposed to be there, plunges into the earth in a place just before the black pine forest begins to give way to swamp and then the reeds and wind-gnarled trees of the marsh flats. Beyond the marsh flats and the natural canals lies the ocean and, a little farther down the coast, a derelict lighthouse.

I’m anxious to read this. Got it on my kindle!

It is good so far! Thanks.
I have no idea what this is about, but that description alone makes me want to read it! Very atmospheric, with the description of marsh flats and a tower. Good one!

I’m curious about the tower that wasn’t supposed to be there and wondering why it fell.

It is!!!
Great descriptive teaser – I wonder why the tower was not supposed to be there?
Thanks for visiting my TT this week too!
Thanks! It does make you wonder, doesn’t it?
Looks interesting – is the tower secretly a rocket ship? Definitely gave me that impression, with the word “plunges” :p
The words really paint a picture. Good Teaser! Thanks for sharing it.
