My Teaser

"Reaper by L.S. Murphy"

 

I’ve met a few girls who go there, and they are complete and utter snobs.  I mean, there’s popular, and then there’s being a bitch about it.

Page 30, Reaper by L.S. Murphy

 

There’s no way sixteen year old Quincy Amarante will become the fifth grim reaper. None. Not over her shiny blue Mustang. Her Jimmy Choos. Or her dead body.
She’s supposed to enjoy her sophomore year, not learn about some freaky future Destiny says she has no choice but to fulfill.
It doesn’t take long for Quincy to realize the only way out of the game is to play along especially since Death can find her anyway, anywhere, anytime. And does.
Like when she’s reassuring her friends she wants nothing to do with former best friend Ben Moorland, who’s returned from god-knows-where, and fails. Miserably.
Instead of maintaining her coveted popularity status, Quincy’s goes down like the Titanic.
Maybe … just maybe … that’s okay.
It seems, perhaps, becoming a grim reaper isn’t just about the dead but more about a much needed shift in Quincy’s priorities—from who she thinks she wants to be to who she really is.

 

 

Just started reading this, hoping it’s entertaining!

What’s teasing YOU this week?

About Jennifer @ The Bawdy Book Blog

Jennifer became addicted to books when she randomly picked up a Sweet Valley High book in grade school. She never looked back. After blowing through the SVH and SVU series faster than her parents could put them in her hands, she began perusing her stepfather's bookshelves and reading fantasy like Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series, which she still maintains is some of the best fantasy ever. She collects books like the Duggar family collects kids.

    Ooooh, Jenn, I’m loving the sound of this book. And… oooh, every time I come here there’s a <em>Fever</em> quote in the siebar I get distracted. I… don’t remember what I was saying.
    So I leave you with this: “Fire to my ice.”
