My teaser comes from The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters which is being released today.
The scene is near the beginning of the book at the hypnotist's, Henri Reverie's, show. Olivia is attending with some friends on her birthday. Genevieve Reverie is playing a pipe organ.
Silence swallowed up the theater again, but before we could all lean back into the comfort of the calm, Genevieve lunged towards the keys and played a series of eerie notes that swelled into a passionate rendition of Camille Saint-Saens's "Danse Macabre." She hunched her shoulders and plowed her feet into the instrument's pedals, as if she were racing through the streets of the underworld on a tandem bicycle, on which we were all unwitting passengers. (p.7)
So far I am enjoying the book. I am about 25 pages in.
So, what's your teaser this week? Give us a taste or a link in the comments. I'd love to hear from you.

ReplyDeleteDid you listen to the Danse Macabre while reading that scene? =) I like it when I can look up the music that is mentioned in the books that I read.
I didn't listen to it, but my inner ear replayed parts of it when I read that scene. It is cool to be able to look it up.
DeleteThis sounds like the perfect book to read in October! Great teaser!

I just heard of The Young Elites today. Your teaser makes it sound intriguing.
DeleteThanks for coming by!
This sounds like the kind of book I adore. I'm fascinated by hypnotism. I'm adding it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features WAR BRIDES.
War Brides sounds interesting. I like that it's not necessarily straight up chick lit, but has the subplot of trying to avenge one of their own.
DeleteI wasn't crazy about the cover art so I didn't pay much attention to this book. Perhaps I should now:)
ReplyDeleteHere's my TT - http://fuonlyknew.com/2014/10/14/teaser-tuesdays-85-the-memory-closet/
The Memory Closet sounds like a real thriller. Hope you do a review of it too!
DeleteGreat teaser, it paints a lovely and tense picture of this time period. I want to know more!
ReplyDeleteHere are My Teasers.
There is definitely tension in the book. Already women's right to vote has been mentioned and Olivia's father isn't thrilled.
DeleteI can almost hear the melody in my head! :-) Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThat teaser really painted an image in my mind! Great stuff :)
ReplyDeleteHere's My teaser
Your teaser was very visual. Eyes are said to be the windows to the soul. Hers were certainly expressive.
DeleteGreat teaser, the scene is well fabricated, and look at the book cover! How could one resist!? Thanks for sharing :)

Loved the cover on yours as well. I thought the woman in the teaser was mean though. Thanks for coming by!
