Stolen

I've gotta dash out of the house in five minutes, so without any adieu whatsoever (bonus points if you know what movie that's from), here's my Teaser Tuesday from the very first paragraph of Stolen by Lucy Christopher:


You saw me before I saw you. In the airport, that day in August, you had that look in your eyes, as though you wanted something from me, as though you'd wanted it for a long time. (page 1)

Let me just say, this book has had me from that very first line. I wish I didn't have other stuff to do and could just sit at home and read read read so I know what happens in the end. Ah! Gotta love great books!

    Is it from A Knight's Tale (spoken by Chaucer)? Do I get bonus points???

    Loved the opening, so I looked up a plot summary. NOT what I was expecting. I really want to read this now.

      Bonus points to you! *throws imaginary bonus points*

      I know, I would have given more of a book blurb for this book if I'd had time because the teaser doesn't tell you that he's a bad guy and this ain't no love story!

    Ooh I've been wanting to read this book for a while! And that teaser is brilliant. As a start of a book it would totally draw me in and I love the use of second person. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Here's my Teaser for this week.

    Happy reading!

    I read this one and understand why you don't want to put it down.
