Teaser Tuesdays 10/26/10

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!

I have a couple for you today, I had just about decided to skip this week I've been so busy, when I came across two great ones in my reading, one from Moonlight, another Paranormal Teen read, and another from Trevor's Song, which I've teased before here. Compare the two, and you'll get a good feel for the complex personality that is Trevor Wolff. (Okay, yeah, I'm a groupie, I admit it!)

Gently, he touched my cheek with his fingertips. They were rough and callused. I didn't want to think that earlier in the night they'd also sported claws that could rip my face apart. -- pg. 170 Moonlight (Dark Guardian #1) by Rachel Hawthorne

"Get over yourself and stop hurting Trevor," Mitchell told her. "He deals with broken hearts about as well as I do." He yawned and asked Kerri if she was ready to go to bed. "Trev's heart's too small to break," Trevor said in a voice, equally as small. Her own heart breaking at hearing him, Kerri turned to a fresh page in her sketch book and got busy again, waving Mitchell to bed without her. Trevor had shrunk down into himself, as if he could make himself a smaller target, and his forearms were crossed over his chest -- there for protection. If it wasn't nonverbal communication he was showing her, she didn't know how to read people.-- pg. 148 Trevor's Song by Susan Helene Gottfried
