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!

They took very different approaches to their famous virginity: Artemis’s complete lack of attention to her personal appearance meant she couldn’t care less what men thought of her, while Diana appreciated the tease of looking desirable yet untouchable.

Insane as it sounded, I thought it best to risk the sleeping manticore.-- Page 278
I'm re-reading this book because I didn't really get into the story as I confused it with the one before and expected a totally different narration.
This time, Atticus and his friends are being hunted by the Greek and Roman goddesses Artemis and Diana. You have to mess things up really well to make those pantheons work together though, which tells you a lot about Atticus. ;)
I love the humour and wit in this sixth instalment of The Iron Druid Chronicles as well as the mixture of myths portrayed. Furthermore, the second time around I'm more attuned to the story, which makes it a much more enjoyable read.
Are you immersed in a series this week? Tease us in the comments with your current reads.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a Manticore?

Ooohhh good teaser. I want to read more! Here is my TT http://cynthia2729.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/teaser-tuesday-july-23/
I need to start this series. I have the first four books on my stack and no time to read them. Please come see my teasers from Runt by Nora Raleigh Baskin and The White Princess by Philippa Gregory. Happy reading!
I read these teasers and was stumped by the word manticore. What is a manticore? Check out my TT here: http://meandu-justthinking.blogspot.ca/2013/07/teaser-tuesdays_23.html
A manticore is a mythical creature similar to the sphinx, often with a lion's body, a human head and a scorpion's tale. Naturally, its appearance varies from story to story, but it's always deadly.
Nice teaser. I don't read a lot of stories about mythology but I like it and this one sounds good. Thanks!
