My Teaser:
There is an exciting new writer on the block! I was introduced to Steve Piacente and his book, Bella, through a giveaway from a fellow blogger, Kate Evangelista of Reads, Reviews, Recommends. What's more awesome is that not only did I receive a copy of this book, it was signed by Steve himself, with more than a couple of bookmarks that look so lovely. This is my first-ever book win and I am so excited, I decided to skip the book I was supposed to read to replace with this one!
Summary:
A striking widow intent on proving the military lied about her husband's death lures a Washington journalist into the investigation. Working together, they discover the power of temptation, the futility of revenge, and the consequences of yielding to either.
The Teaser:
"It's possible. He's capable of deception, as we've seen. I'll do some snooping. I'll let you know if I find anything."
-page 140, Bella by Steve Piacente
The Culprit
I like the sounds of this book, which is new to me.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is here: Quirky Girls Read
I love the teaser, but I have to say it sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThe cover for Bella looks really similar to the first Twilight book. ^^;
Please don't kill me everyone. *hides under a rock*
Here's my teaser as a truce :3 : http://amateurvoicekp.blogspot.com/2011/03/teaser-tuesday-probability-angels.html
My TT is a book I got from a giveaway and it was signed by the author, too! :D

Kelsa: It does look a bit similar, with those hands giving something. But the story and genre are very different, and although I haven't read past the first few pages yet, I guess I could understand the meaning of the book cover.
ReplyDeleteNo one is going to kill you, promise!
Hi guys, Steve here. Thought I'd weigh in. Believe it or not, I never saw the Twilight cover until someone brought it to my attention recently. What we were going for was a pair of very expressive hands holding the tattered remains of Hank's uniform, with the Capitol suggesting the cover-up was rooted in Washington. The hands, by the way, belong to my daughter Ali. After going through a lot of possible models, I noticed Ali cutting tomatoes during Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago. At that moment, I realized we had our model! Another side note: if you watch the trailer on getbella.com, that's my other daughter Danielle in a cameo as Bella! Thanks, and hope you'll friend our FB page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bella/134040986612135
