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

Shannon's Teaser: 

  She swims in circles, a figure eight, her silver silhouette like a flash of light dancing in the water. Like she's dancing just for me. She stops inches away from me with that smirk still on her lips, telling me she knows everything I don't. She grabs my wrists softly, like she's going to pull me to her and kiss me. And I want her to. I've never wanted anything this bad before.
  Then the silver mermaid smiles, and when she does there is nothing more terrifying than the rows of her razor-sharp teeth.

Carrie's Teaser: 


  I looked again into my sister's eyes, silently telling her to get ready, since we couldn't speak. I had to put my foot on the wall and yank, so surely was my hand now one with the print. As I wrenched it away-so hard it was like breaking a powerful magnetic connection-I wrapped both arms around my sister and fell to the ground behind us, like a football player sacking the quarterback. Except backward. But as my shoulder met the travertine floor, I knew I didn't have her, after all. My arms were empty.
