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 (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 Teaser this week is from Precious Thing by Colette McBeth
Some friendships fizzle out. Rachel and Clara promised theirs would last forever.
They met in high school when Rachel was the shy, awkward new girl and Clara was the friend everyone wanted. Instantly, they fell under one another’s spell and nothing would be the same again. Now in their late twenties Rachel has the television career, the apartment and the boyfriend, while Clara’s life is spiralling further out of control. Yet despite everything, they remain inextricably bound. Then Rachel’s news editor assigns her to cover a police press conference, and she is shocked when she arrives to learn that the subject is Clara, reported missing. Is it abduction, suicide or something else altogether?
Imagine discovering something about your oldest friend that forces you to question everything you’ve shared together. The truth is always there. But only if you choose to see it. Goodreads
My Teaser
The heel of one of my Louboutins has found its way on to a foot and is grinding down. It must be his. You told me I was mad to pay that much for them. I always knew they were worth the money.
I’m really enjoying this book…. please share your links to your teasers with me.
Great teaser! Glad you’re enjoying “Precious Thing”. 🙂

I’m reading ‘Citadel’ by Kate Mosse, a Christmas present that’s been sitting on my bookshelf for too long. Really enjoying it. My teaser is:-
“Raoul’s edginess was contagious. Every sound, however innocent, was laden with threat, with danger. The empty streets she know so well no longer felt safe.” 🙂 SD
