But right now, I'm not even feeling like the glass is half empty - I'm feeling like I want to break the damn glass.

This weeks teaser comes from Shadow Hills by Anastasia Hopcus.


“It isn’t you,” a voice said behind me, deep & melodic.
I turned and saw him. Raven black hair and eyes that seemed to shift colors – gray, blue, and pale green.
I looked at the headstone, then down at my dirty and torn clothes.
“But it is me,” I whispered.
“It doesn’t have to be.”
The gravestone was changing, the letters shifting.
“You know who it is. You just have to wake up.” He put his hand on my shoulder. “Phe, wake up.”

Pg 1/2

I know its longer than my usual teasers but there there was too much good stuff on one page to pass up.
