My Teasers:
"I must keep to my post, however. I must watch this ghastly countenance - these blue, still lips forbidden to unclose - these eyes, now shut, now opening, now wandering through the room, now fixing on me, and ever glazed with the dullness of horror. I must dip my hand again and again in the basin of blood and water, and wipe away the trickling gore. I must see the light of the unsnuffed candle wane on my employment; the shadows darken on the wrought, antique tapestry around me, and grow black under the hangings of the vast old bed, and quiver strangely over the doors of a great cabinet opposite - whose front, divided into twelve panels, bore, in grim design, the heads of the twelve apostles, each enclosed in its separate panel as in a frame; while above them at the top rose an ebon crucifix and a dying Christ." - pg. 228, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
"I too read in bed. In the long succession of beds in which I spent the nights of my childhood, in strange hotel rooms where the lights of passing cars swept eerily across the ceiling, in houses whose smells and sounds were unfamiliar to me, in summer cottages sticky with sea spray or where the mountain air was so dry that a steamy basin of eucalyptus water was placed by my side to help me breathe, the combination of bed and book granted me a sort of home which I knew I could go back to, night after night, under whichever skies. No one would call out and ask me to do this or that; my body needed nothing, immobile under the sheets. What took place, took place in the book, and I was the story's teller. Life happened because I turned the pages. I don't think I can remember a greater comprehensive joy than that of coming to the few last pages and setting the book down, so that the end would not take place until at least tomorrow, and sinking back into my pillow with the sense of having actually stopped time." - pgs. 150-151, A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel

by keeping with the balance of "normal" with the supernatural - and this time Zoey Redbird as equal parts problems on both sides of the fence. I kind of feel sorry for her at the point in which James Stark dies in her arms - Nyx may have Chosen her for some great purpose, but she still deserves a friend or two, and not the kind that die and turn into something else. Otherwise, the whole being-chosen thing can seem more like a curse. The plotline of "The Chosen One" may be milked by fantasy authors across the board, but the book does not dwell on this aspect too much, and moves at a fast pace to the climax of the book. I found myself wondering what Zoey Redbird s supposed to do with the remaining three years that she is to remain at school before she completes the Change if all of these problems are arising within the span of a few months. At the rate that Zoey is progressing, she will be covered in blue tattoos from head to toe, have an army of red Vampyres to do her bidding, and enough power to be the strongest High Priestess in Vampyre history - and that's all before she completes the Change. I love this series, I just hope that the authors can maintain this momentum.
