Today's Read & Giveaway: The Strangers on Montagu Street by Karen White
MizB at Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Here's how it works: Grab your current read; let the book fall open to a random page; and share 2 "teaser" sentences from that page. For more teasers, click on through to MizB's blog.
I'm on a roll with good October reading! Today I'm spotlighting the third in the Tradd Street series by Karen White, which is coming out November 1. Haven't read the first two? Enter my giveaway to get a copy of each.
I felt my mother watching me and I turned my head. Her eyes were narrowed in concentration, and I knew she could smell the acrid scent heavy in the early summer night. She stepped forward, and before I could stop her, she reached out her hand to touch the curling eave of the old dollhouse, and the air screamed. (p. 49)—From The Strangers on Montagu Street by Karen White (Penguin USA / New American Library, 2011 [from uncorrected proof, may differ from published edition])

Really like the sound of t his teaser... and the cover gives is such a creepy feel... Thanks for visiting my blog. BTW on the book Forever, I'm on the last few chp and I already feel like I'm going to miss the cast - even if the middle of the book was a bit on the boring side...
I haven't read any of these, but I certainly would love too!
Very interesting teaser. It raises so many curious questions. Thank you for hosting a book giveaway with your teaser. Awesome!

I was just mumbling to myself as I opened your post that "I need to read the first two before I get to this one!". Well, maybe that means I will win. I do love this woman. She is a wonder.
Woo woo and romance you are soooo speaking to me.love that you are able to start us from the beginning.
I have both of them so you don't need to enter me. I really enjoyed the first and plan to read the next one soon. I wrote a bit about Tradd St. here if you want to read it:
