Teaser Tuesday #67 and Top Ten Tuesday #57


Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading. Bloggers choose two
sentences out of our current read to peak others' curiosity.



Vigilante NightsTeaser: 

The sharp snap of a twig shattered the silence. Chris flinched. Kev staggered, losing his he-man stance. 

Vigilante Nights by Erin Richards

  
  
        


A "good boy" will do anything for vengeance when a gang rite kills his twin sister. Will Lucas win, or follow his sister Silver into the darkness?

After a hideous car wreck, Lucas wakes from a coma to find that his world is gutted. Not only is his beloved twin sister, Silver, gone forever, but Lucas is broken in body and spirit. He will never be a college athlete, and is robbed of what he now realizes was the most important bond of his life. Although they weren't identical twins, Lucas and Silver shared a bond so fierce it defied reason, and was nearly supernatural.

After her death, that bond seems to endure when Lucas sees Silver everywhere he turns. Either he's crazy, or Silver is trying to tell him something about the California gang initiation they stumbled into that cost Silver her life. Lucas is bent on revenge, turning on Raymond, Silver's former boyfriend; the one Lucas never wanted her to date. He forms a posse of vigilantes to take out the gangsters responsible for Silver's death, but he risks not only his own life, but the love of the new girl on his block, who knows more about Lucas and Silver than can be accounted for by mere chance



Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme created here at

    I don't remember the beginnings of half these books. How bad is that?! But seriously, I do remember that I loved Wicked Lovely - it's probably the only Melissa Marr book I adored haha wonderful list this week, Jenn.

    I've heard Boundless and The False Prince are both really good but other than that I haven't read a single book on this list... even though at least half of them are on my TBR list.

    I completely forgot about My Life as a White Trash Zombie (that sounded a bit odd...)! I've been wanting to read that book for so long and I'm in the middle of a big zombie kick so *dramatic pause* TO THE LIBRARY!

    Nice picks! Haven't read any of these but curious as to Boundless! I read those first two books as ARCs and the final one was never released as such so I ended up not reading it. Although my memory of the past two are pretty poor considering there have been 100s of books since I read the last one!

    Here's my Tuesday post

    Have a GREAT day!

    I've sadly not read any of these books yet, but Hallowed and Boundless are definitely on my TBR list. I'm glad to see that Boundless is one of your favorite endings ever! :D

    I've been wanting to read the Host ever since I've seen the movie. Which I know is kinda backwards from normal bookish ways. But I enjoyed the movie.

    Nice list!
