Teaser Tuesday: The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
To 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

A few adjectives describing this book: haunting, dark, fascinating, surprising and even funny.

But you don't, because another very fitting adjective would be: unexpected. As I love surprises, this book is perfect for me. :) So I get back to it fast and ask you:
