Teaser Tuesday and Random Picture Friday

Well hi guys! Sorry for not posting on Wednesday and Friday. Tis back to school time. NOO! Anyway, on to the Teaser and picture:

I drew my sword. “Puck, get some light back there, now.”

Faery fire exploded overhead, a flash of emerald green, lighting the passageway behind us. In the flare, hundreds of shiny, eight-legged creatures scuttled back from the sudden light. The tunnel was full of them, pale and bulbous, with bodies the size of melons and multiple thin legs. But their faces, elven and beautiful, stared down at us coldly, and bared mouthfuls of curved black fangs.

And now onto the picture :)



Ah, how I love Icannascheezburger.com
And that is my post for today because my laptop is running out of battery and I still have two more classes.

Cya!

Teaser Tuesday: The Iron Knight

Hello my youngins. I'm not going to be able to post for a while because I'm going away for the holidays and first week back at school I have a lot of things I need to catch up on. But for now, here is the teaser for today :P

"Having second thoughts?" Puck's voice was soft and dangerous, a far cry from his normal flippancy. "I thought we'd put this behind us for now."

I think that this teaser was already posted in another teaser though the last one had aditional stuff...meh. It's still a teaser.

Cya!

Teaser Tuesday: The Iron Knight

Less than four weeks before the release of The Iron Knight! Eeee I can't wait!
Anyway, here is the teaser for today featuring our all time favourite cat: Grimalkin

"Oh, wonderful." Rudy gave the cat a sour look, grabbing a cloth from below and wiping the countertop. "Look who's here. Back to plague me again, are you? You know that information you traded nearly got me killed?"

"You wanted the location of the giant ruins. I gave it to you. My end of the bargain was upheld."

"I thought they were deserted! You didn't say they were still occupied!"

"You did not ask if they were."

Ah, how awesome is Grim? Seriously, if I had a cat like him....I actually don't know what I would do...meh.

My review for Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Darkside will be up and running in a few days :) I look forward to posting it.

Oh, and before I forget again, there was another teaser I was meant to post today because I completely forgot last week.

Hey, ice-boy, you okay? You’ve got your brooding face on again.”

“I’m fine.”

“You’re so full of crap.” Puck lounged in the cradle of a tree, hands behind his head, one foot dangling in the air. “Lighten up already. We finally found the cat—which we should get a freaking medal for, the search for the Golden Fleece wasn’t this hard—and you look like you’re going to engage Mab in single combat first thing in the morning.”

“I’m thinking. You should try it sometime.”

"Ooh, witty."


*grins sheepishly* Sooory.

Anyway, goodbye my young ones. Until next time.

Cya!

Teaser Tuesday!! And Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side

Well hi!

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post in such a long time. But it's school time so I've got a lot of things going on *cough*homework*cough*. Anyway, here is the Teaser for The Iron Knight!

Mwuaha! I seriously can't wait for October. Oh, I have a book I need to tell you about.

The undead can really screw up your senior year ...

Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancé. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war—and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction.
Well, I read this book quite awhile ago but recently re-discovered it. I have read it again and will post my review of it soon but just for today let me tell you how awesome this book is :) There is a sequel comming out soon..I think it's in Jan 2012. But anyway, I shall post my review and recommend this awesome book to you :)

Read and enjoy.

Cya!

Teaser Tuesday: Triple Teaser!

Hey youngins! So today Julie Kagawa posted two teasers today! Yay! Anyway, without further ado, here are the two teasers:

But seeing her still made my heart beat crazily, made me long to pull her close and let that light consume me. If it burned until there was nothing left, would that be such a terrible fate?


My quest ended here, in this hole of darkness and regret. And, if I didn't die here, if I lived on forever, listening to the voices of those I'd wronged until the end of time, perhaps I would start to atone for what I had done.


And last week I completely forgot to post this teaser :)

She came for me in the end, as I knew she would. I'd made certain it would be her. The terrible Iron Queen, her eyes filled with fury and sorrow, facing me across the ravaged fields of the Nevernever.


Well I will post a little later today. But right now, I will do a special shout out to my three friends who had birthdays this week :) I won't say your names because you told me not to but you know who you are :)

And now I need to go and finish Science work!

Cya!

Teaser Tuesday

Wow this blog has been lonely. There was no teaser tuesday last week so I had nothing really to post. Though I do feel sorry for my other blog because I promised it a post and I was sick so I couldn't post :( Sadness.
Anyway, here is a teaser for The Iron Knight :)


"Did you think this would have a happily-ever-after? Between a mortal and a fey? How did you think this was going to end?" 

Mwuahahaha! I promise that I will post soon :) And if I don't....no cake for me :(

Cya!

Teaser Tuesday-The Iron Knight

Another Tuesday, another Teaser. Sigh, how wonderful :D Right well as always here is a teaser for The Iron Knight featuring Puck and Grim :)

Puck snorted. "Yeah, your perfect kitty vision does us no good if you don't warn us that something is coming once in awhile. Poofing away doesn't count. That way, we can at least have a heads-up."

The cat thumped his tail. "Additionally, you can paint a neon sign over our heads that says, 'Easy meal, follow the flashing lights.'"

"Or we could use you for bait..."


Tee hee :) And now I shall leave you pondering this picture:



Cya!

Teaser Tuesday and Deleted Scene

So today's the day for a Teaser so I shall post, and post well. This is the second teaser for The Iron Knight and Julie Kagawa also posted a deleted balcony scene between Meghan and Ash during The Iron Queen. I will post that too. So read, and enjoy. Um, the black one is the Teaser and the blue one is the deleted scene.

The door past the sphinxes opened to another narrow corridor, empty of fire-breathing dragons this time, but no less strange. It stretched away into the darkness, lit only by orange candlelight, flickering against walls. The flames seemed to float in the air, reflecting off the surfaces of hundreds of full-length mirrors lining the corridor on both sides. 

Glancing at my own image, I paused, faintly surprised at the stranger in the mirror. The pale, dark-haired reflection stared back grimly, clothes tattered around the edges, eyes touched with exhaustion. I barely recognized myself, but maybe that was a good thing. After all, that was why I was here; to become something else, someone else. If all went as planned, Ashalyn’darkmyr Tallyn, third prince of the Unseelie Court, would no longer exist. 

What will it be like as a human? I wondered at my reflection. Will I still be myself? Will I remember everything about my life in the Winter Court, or will all those memories disappear? 

I shook my head. It was useless to wonder about that now, when we were so close, but still… 

“Come on, handsome.” Puck put a hand on my shoulder, and I brushed it off. “Quit preening. I think we’re almost there.” 

As we started down the corridor, wary of traps and pits and ambushes, I thought of Meghan, back in the Iron Kingdom. It would be dreadfully ironic, I mused, if once I earned a soul, I forgot everything about being fey, including all my memories of her. That sort of ending seemed appropriately tragic; the smitten fey creature becomes human but forgets why he wanted to in the first place. Old fairytales loved that sort of irony. 

I won’t let that happen, I told myself, clenching my fists. If I have to have Puck tell me everything, even if he has to go through our entire history, I will find a way to make it back to her. I will not become human only to forget it all. 

The hallway went on. The flickering candles cast strange lights in the opposite mirrors, endless rows of flame, stretching to infinity. From the corner of my eye, I saw my own dark reflection, walking along beside me. Smirking. 

Except, I wasn’t. 


I stepped close and slipped my arms around his waist, hearing his quiet intake of breath as I pulled him against me. “That was a long time ago,” I murmured, pressing my cheek to his back, listening to his thudding heart. “You’ve changed since then. That Ash wouldn’t protect a silly human girl with his life, or become her knight, or walk into exile with her. Every step of the way, you’ve always been there, right beside me. I’m not letting you go now.”

“I’m a coward.” Ash’s voice was subdued. “If I cared for you as much as I should, I would end my life and the curse along with it. My existence puts you in danger. If I were no longer here—”

“Don’t you dare, Ashallyn’darkmyr Tallyn.” I held him tighter, even as he flinched at the sound of his True Name. “Don’t you dare throw your life away for an unknown superstition. If you die—” My voice broke, and I swallowed thickly. “I love you,” I whispered, fisting my hands against his stomach. “You can’t leave. You swore you wouldn’t.”

Ash’s hands came to rest over mine, twining our fingers together. “Even if the world stands against you,” he murmured, bowing his head. “I promise.”

For awhile, we just stood like that, content not to move, as the wind howled around us and tugged at our hair and clothes. Ash, true to form, was perfectly still. I closed my eyes and lost myself in his quiet breathing, in the rise and fall of his chest, in the beat of his heart. It was hard to believe, sometimes, that this—this beautiful, solemn, immortal prince in my arms—was mine.

“Meghan.”

His voice rumbled in my ear, low and hesitant. “Yes?” I whispered, and he shifted around to face me, taking my hands in his. For a few moments, he gazed at our interlocked fingers, running his thumb gently over my skin, as if gathering his thoughts.

“Be patient with me,” he said at last, furrowing his brow. His gaze finally shifted up to mine, bright and soulful. “It’s…difficult sometimes, to watch you fight, to see you throw yourself into danger again and again.” One hand came up, long fingers gently touching my cheek. “I can’t bear the thought of anything happening to you,” he murmured. “I wish I could protect you from everything.”

“I know,” I said, smiling up at him. “But, it’s my turn now. You’ve done so much already, Ash; now it’s my turn to protect you. You and Puck and the Nevernever, and…and everyone.” I sighed and looked past him, at the clouds sweeping over the iron realm. “If I could just figure out a way to do that.”

“I’m sure you’ll think of something.” Ash’s voice was resigned, and he drew me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist. Sighing, he lowered his head, soft strands of his hair brushing my forehead. “Just…try not to give me a heart attack when you do.”

“I can’t promise anything,” I whispered back. “But, I’ll try.”

His expression twitched in a faint smile, and he gave a tiny shake of his head. “I suppose that’s all I can ask for—” But before he could finish, I slipped my arms around his neck, leaned up, and took his lips with mine.

He made a faint noise of surprise, before his eyes fluttered shut and he leaned into me, pulling us closer. I savored the feel of his lips against mine, breathing in his scent, that sharp mix of frost and peppermint. He breathed my name, just one simple word, and it turned my stomach inside out and set my whole body on fire. It made me desperate to get closer, made me bolder then I’d ever been. I pressed forward, pushing him against the railing, standing on tiptoe to trail kisses down his neck. He groaned, tilting his head back, hands sliding up to tangle in my hair. I couldn’t get close enough, it seemed. Never close enough.

Ash ducked his head, meeting my lips again, his kisses suddenly crushing, devouring. One arm snaked around my waist, the other cupped the back of my head, pressing us together, like two puzzle pieces that finally clicked. I held him as tightly as I could, feeling the hard, lithe muscles of his back, shifting through his armor. Wishing it was suddenly gone, that I could feel his cool skin under my fingers. His cloak fluttered around us, like the edges of tattered wings, cocooning us both, and I didn’t want to be anywhere else in the world.

Ash drew back suddenly, breathing deep, trying to control himself. I felt his heart beneath his armor, hammering in his chest. He dropped his gaze, shoulders heaving, though his arms didn’t loosen their grip, and resisted my attempt to pull back.

“Ash?”

The look he gave me was almost frightening in its intensity. “Command me,” he whispered, bringing his face close to mine. His eyes seared into me, challenging and pleading all at once. “Tell me to stop, and I will.”

I gazed at him, well aware that my own heart was doing its best to crash through my ribs. Ash watched me, silver eyes blazing with desire, and love. I reached up and touched his face, and he closed his eyes, putting his hand over mine, pressing it to his cheek, before his gaze flickered to me again.

Waiting. He wouldn’t go any further unless I told him to. He was letting me decide, like he’d promised. I could walk away from him now, and he wouldn’t follow. Or I could tell him to go, and he would. We could stop this, right now, if I wasn’t completely ready.

I swallowed hard, pulled his lips down to mine, and whispered:

“Stay.”


Tee hee :)

Cya!

Teaser Tuesday-The Iron Knight

Hello my fellow young ones. I have been quite sick *still am and don't know why I'm doing this* these past few days. I am about to faint at the computer so lets make this quick.
Julie Kagawa released the first Teaser for her book The Iron Knight. Tis awesome and teaserish so without further ado, here it is:

"Having second thoughts?” Puck’s voice was soft and dangerous, a far cry from his normal flippancy. “I thought we put this behind us for now.”

“Never,” I said, matching his stare. “I can’t ever take it back, Goodfellow. I’m still going to kill you. I swore to her I would.” Lighting flickered overhead, and thunder rumbled in the distance as we faced each other with narrowed eyes. “One day,” I said softly. “One day you’ll look up, and I’ll be there. That’s the only ending for us. Don’t ever forget.”

Mwuahahaha! Now wasn't that a tease? *sighs* How I love Ash...
Now off I go to faint on the couch or somewhere soft.
Cya!

Teaser Whateverdayitisoftheweek

See? See? I used the 'Whateverydayitisoftheweek' title just like I said I would :D You should be proud I remembered. Hehehe. Anyway, onto the good stuff.
Today's Teaser is extremely short but apparently gives you a glimpse of what might happen. Well...thats what the author said so don't go shouting at me :(
And onto todays teaser.

“Worry not, ice-boy. I already have a plan.” I flashed him my best impish smile, rubbing my hands together. “One brilliant Goodfellow prank, coming right up.”
See, I told you it was short :D

TEASERS....and other important stuff

Ok so I'm always missing out on the 'Teaser Tuesday' dateline so I think I might make a little change to 'Teaser Whateverdayitisoftheweek'. Hows that for originality?
Now, on with the good stuff. And now, I give you, the second teaser for Summers Crossing.

A rustle in a bramble patch drew our attention, and we caught a glint of a baleful green eye as something huge and bristly drew away into the shadows.

“And…there it goes to alert the rest of the pack.” Ash glared at me. “Why do these things always happen when I’m around you?”

“Just lucky, I suppose,” I said cheerfully, as we hurried away before the rest of the pack could arrive.
:D Now I must admitt that I am delighted with this teaser because it has a certain Winter Prince that I love. Hehe now I am even more eager to get, in other words download, this book!

And now, on with the 'Other important stuff'.
I had a camp the other day, and I must say, Colloroy has the most awesome hills for rolling. And of course the beaches...who could forget the beaches *cough*. I am sorry, I'm not a beach fan :P Yuck, sand blegh.
Well I think I hear my mother ringing the dinner bell. Hehehe I'm just joking. My family isn't that weird as to have a dinner bell...though I seriously think we should....we children are so disobedient :D


Well I must go now, so farewell my wonderful youngins. And till next time.
Cya!
