Teaser Tuesdays (64)


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teasers this week:

"'Do you believe in curses, Hale?' He looked at her. 'I believe in you.'"



Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter
p.179

Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life life. Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners.

There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous and that is simply… the emerald is cursed.

Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. After all she has her best friend—the gorgeous Hale—and the rest of her crew with her as they chase the Cleopatra around the globe, dodging curses, realizing that the same tricks and cons her family has used for centuries are useless this time.

Which means, this time, Katarina Bishop is making up her own rules.

  2. Oh. Does that mean he thinks of the girl (Hale) as a curse? Interesting. Nice cover. Hmmm.. Perhaps if I read more from that extract, I'd figure it out. Haha.

    Here's my teaser:

  3. Ah, Hale. *sigh* When is Kat gonna wake up and realize he loves her?? Though I'm assuming he does, I haven't actually read this second book yet. But I ordered it and it arrived over the weekend so I hope to get to it soon! I loved the first book. Great teaser!
