I wouldn’t have thought it possible so many scorpions existed in the world, much less in Manhattan. The glowing circle round us seemed like insignificant protection against the millions of arachnids crawling over one another, many layers deep, and the woman in brown, who was even more horrible.
From a distance she looked all right, but as she got closer I saw that Serqet’s pale skin glistened like an insect shell.
(pg. 141, The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan)
I borrowed this one from Amber and am finally going to start it today.
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. The rules are easy and I only cheated a little. Grab your current read, open to a random page, and give us two teaser sentences. Remember, no spoilers.
Amber received her copy as a gift and the above is my honest opinion.
Very cool teaser! It sounds like an exciting read!
This one sounds intriguing…thanks for sharing; and thanks for visiting my blog.
Great teaser. I loved the Percy Jackson series but haven’t read this one yet. Maybe when there are a few more books out.

I think Rick Riordan does a great job writing preteen/teen characters. I really enjoyed The Red Pyramid and the sequel is due out next month, so if you love it you won’t have to wait long for book 2!
I didn’t know the sequel was coming out so soon. Thanks!
*shiver* that’s kind of creepy. Thanks so much for stopping by.
This makes me so excited! I loved The Red Pyramid and cannot WAIT to read The Throne of Fire next week. I’m already counting down!!! My favorite quote from this book is the one where they look into Manhattan and say something like, “Manhattan has other gods, other problems” b/c it makes me go, “PERCY JACKSON!!” 🙂
Good to hear you loved it. My daughter keeps asking me how I like it, she wants to know if she should move it up on her list.
Sounds interesting!

This sounds good! Is it YA? I love the cover too.
My daughter’s in 5th grade and it’s her book.
Great teaser! Sounds like an interesting read.
Eeew. That could give you nightmares.
interesting teaser, I’ve been wanting to read this author.
Ooooo. Thank you! 🙂 I want to get this book and I think my son would like to get it too. But I have to get him reading more so I can justify it to my husband as to why I’m buying another book I’m not going to be able to read for a little while. lol. Thank you!
Great teaser, in spite of all those creepy-crawlies! This is one I really want to read this year. Hope you enjoy it.
Scorpions? ***shudders*** Gripping teaser.
the mention of scorpions is enough to put me off, even if this was a genre I enjoyed. I found rather too many while moving tiles for the terrace this morning!
Ooh, I definitely wouldn’t want to find any at my house.
That teaser has my skin crawling a bit. Lol. I’d love to read it though. I look forward to your thoughts on it.
