Teaser Tuesday, 19th Edition

Teaser Tuesday 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I am doing a slightly different version of Teaser Tuesday. Since I go through books so quickly, I'm going to put a quote from any book I've read in the past week.

***

"Darius stepped back, horrified that she was searching him, remembering what she would see.
     'You are like a man suckled by wolves, strong, hungry, but hunched on all fours, with a tongue twisted in confusion.'"- Dandelion Fire, by N.D. Wilson

"She was a little overwhelmed by all the help she had received that night from goblins. There was something deeply wrong in these unnatural monsters rallying around her, if only because the most urgent help she needed was some means to escape them." - The Hollow Kingdom, by Clare B. Dunkle

"IT raised IT's eye ridges. 'Many who neither shape-shift nor eat people are disliked and feared. Our king for one.'" - A Tale of Two Castles, by Gail Carson Levine

"It seems everyone but us knows who he is. And it's clear that he's the puppet master behind all this." - The Warlock, by Michael Scott

"'Don't be foolish,' Querida snapped. 'Demons are immortal.'" - Dark Lord of Derkholm, by Diana Wynne Jones

Happy Tuesday! Any thoughts on the new format?
