Teaser Tuesday: Haven

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:




Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two "teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists!


This week my teaser comes from Haven by Kristi Cook, a new young adult novel in which our heroine, Violet McKenna, arrives at a new boarding school where all of the students have psychic abilities, and where she finally feels like she fits in. She even meets a boy and falls in love. But when she starts having visions of his death, she begins to realize that not everything is as it seems at Winterhaven. From p. 46:


HavenSuddenly the girls went entirely silent, all of them looking over my left shoulder. The hair on the nape of my neck rose, and for a moment I didn't move. And then, as if in slow motion, I turned around and found myself looking up into the face of Aiden Gray. I swallowed hard, unable to utter a single syllable.




Got a teaser?
Please leave a comment with a link so I can check it out :)

    I've heard mixed reviews about this book so I'm hesitant about picking it up, although with my endless TBR I physically own I know it will be a lifetime before I do. Tell me how it goes :) Thanks for checking my TT.

    having backflashes of Torment & Fallen here.

    Have you read those?? You'd like them once you get over her constant pining, remember she's a teen and then it fits in.

    I never went to a boarding school, but if it's anything like how awesome college is after high school then I can understand why she was so happy to find a place to fit in!
