Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
~Grab your current read
~Open to a random page
~Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on the page
~BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! ( make sure that what you share doesn't give away to much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
~Share the title & author too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
Today I decided to Tease you with my current book, as well as tease you with the book I'm teasing myself because I want to read it just have prior commitments.

Air

Teaser
I was shaking my head slowly, not really aware of the motion. “Anyway, it was a flock of faeries, a big flock of faeries. At least, we thought they were faeries.” I waited for him to laugh or scoff at me, but he simply looked confused.
“Faeries, you mean like Tinkerbell?” And there was the light sarcasm so many people get when you talk about the Fae Folk.
“No, not like Tinkerbell.” My voice dripped with my own sarcasm and I rolled my eyes. “Faeries, gnomes, pixies, they’re all real and don’t sprinkle faerie dust and grant wishes. They can be helpful, don’t get me wrong, but mostly they can be mischievous and playful.”
Alice in Zombieland

Since I haven't started this one yet I just flipped it open and picked a spot not to far in.
Teaser
I leaned over and glanced out the front windshield. Sure enough. We were approaching the cemetery. At least there were no other cars around, so no one would witness my dad’s oncoming breakdown. And he would have one. I could feel the tension thickening the air.
“No music,” he said. “I need to concentrate, remain on alert. I have to—” He stiffened, gripped the armrests on his seat until his knuckles whitened.
A moment of silence passed, such thick, heavy silence.
His panting breaths emerged faster and faster—until he roared so piercingly I cringed. “They’re out there! They’re going to attack us!” He grabbed the wheel and yanked. “Don’t you see them? We’re headed right for them. Turn around! You have to turn around.”
The Tahoe swerved, hard, and Emma screamed. I grabbed her hand, gave her another squeeze, but I refused to let go. My heart was pounding against my ribs, a cold sweat beading over my skin. I’d promised to protect her tonight, and I would.
“It’s gonna be okay,” I told her.
Her tremors were so violent they even shook me.
“Honey, listen to me,” Mom soothed. “We’re safe in the car. No one can hurt us. We have to—”
What's your teaser this week?
