Teaser Tuesdays: While Beauty Slept


This week my teaser lines come from While Beauty Slept, by Elizabeth Blackwell.  I haven't started this one yet -- just opened it this morning to find something to tease with -- so I don't really know a lot about what's going on.  This snippet comes from the Prologue (page 3, or Loc.52 of the Kindle edition):
Even in that dimly lit space, the emeralds and rubies embedded in the dagger's handle sparkled. The sharp, cruel blade retained its silvery luster, and I felt a wave of revulsion as I remembered that same surface coated in blood.
Generally, I'm not a huge fan of the re-imagined fairy tale, but I've heard good things about this one.

    I've seen this book featured on recent Teaser Tuesday posts, so a lot of people must be reading it. I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
