Teaser Tuesday 41

02:57


Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Here are the rules:

• Grab your current read 
• Open to a random page 
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page 
• Be careful not the include spoilers! 
• Share the title & author so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers. 

I have modified them slightly for my Teasers. It will not be two sentences from a random page but two, usually more, sentences from the pages I have read so far that have struck me as most interesting, original or that I just happen to like a lot.

This week's teaser comes from Girl with the Cat Tattoo by Theresa Weir. This was a short fun romantic read including a hot cop undercover and sad but sweet widow and her absolutely fabulous cat (we get the cat POV which was really fun to read). I am using as my teaser the opening sentences of the book since I think they represent the tone of the whole book perfectly. 

"Max had been a cat as long as e could remember, but he was pretty sure he'd been a rock star in one of his previous lives. He just had that kind of cool about him. Right now he was sitting in the middle of the floor in Saint Paul, Minnesota, feeling hostile while staring at the strange man in his mistress's bed."

It is currently free on Amazon, so you can get it if are intrigued by the teaser :)

Goodreads Blurb

For cat lovers everywhere, this sweet, quirky, and delightful romance is about a young woman and her matchmaking cat. A little bit of mystery, a whole lot of whimsy. 

When a matchmaking cat takes it upon himself to find his young mistress a new mate, he accidentally stirs up memories better left forgotten.

Melody’s husband was murdered by what seemed a random act of violence. Two years later, the killer hasn’t been caught, and Melody is coping in unhealthy ways. During the day she’s a mild-mannered children’s librarian, but at night she’s a party girl, hanging out in bars, drinking with new friends, and often bringing home strange men. Although acquaintances have tried to keep in touch, Melody has cut herself off from most of the people in her old life. Max, her eccentric cat, doesn’t approve of her new friends, he’s tired of the parade of losers, and he finally takes it upon himself to find Melody a new man.

  2. I was sold as soon as I saw St. Paul. I love books set in my home state. This week my teasers are from Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill and Grave Dance by Kalayna Price. Happy reading!

    1. I think you will love it then :) The second book, Geek with the Cat Tattoo focuses more on St. Paul, in particular its music scene but I can judge how accurate it is. You can also try it, if you like the first one.
