Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Want to join? All you have to do is grab your current read, flip open to a random page and share a non-spoiler teaser. Easy, right? Then just write it in the comments or make your own post and put the link in the comments. - But I like to share 2 teasers instead of one.
I am currently reading The Medea Complex which I received from the author recently, I am about a third of the way through, and so far I like it. I have some problems with it, but I like the setting a whole lot! And it is very intriguing! By the way; isn't that cover gorgeous? Publisher/Year: Createspace / October 31, 2013
