Teaser Tuesday: The Violets of March


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 that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!    
    •  The tide was out now, exposing a secret layer of life on the shore, and walking back, I found myself picking up shells and big pieces of bubbly emerald green kelp and popping the air bubbles out of the slimy flesh the way I had so many years ago. A rock sparkled in the sun, and I kneeled down to retrieve it, which is when I heard footsteps behind me.
     ~ The Violets of March by Sarah Jio, page 34
    *This title was released today. Happy birthday! :)

    Such a beautiful teaser. The last sentence kind of jolted me. I hope it's not meant to be creepy.

    I was reliving memories of sandy beaches and the light crash of the ocean's waves until I read of the footsteps. Do the footsteps precipitate danger? Terrific teasher!! How are you liking the book?

    @Shirley - I love it so far. It's actually not scary at all. I would tell you who or what the footsteps belong to, but you'll just have to read it yourself. :)

    Yeah for everyone adding this to your TBR piles!

    Interesting! Definitely not the setting I would have expected from the cover of the book, but I'm definitely curious as to who the footsteps belong to!

    I hope you all will pick this book up soon. I am seriously in love with it.

    @barmybex - This is Sarah Jio's debut novel which is why you may not have heard of her before.
