Teaser Tuesdays, #5, "Undead and Unwed (Undead, #1)" by MaryJanice Davidson

My Teaser Tuesday is from Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson:

 

" THE day I died started out bad and got worse in a hurry...

 

 

Then I realized I was sitting in a coffin. A white coffin with gold scrolling on the sides, lined in plush pink satin (ugh!)...

 

Who had picked out this outfit for me? And these shoes? I slipped one of the shoes off, looked at the inside. Property of Antonia O’Neill Taylor. I knew it. My stepmother! The bitch meant to bury me wearing her cast-off shoes! This bothered me more than being driven into a tree while my cat watched...

 

...walking toward his wife. “You gave the mortuary a pink suit when you know damn well I hate pink. You gave them your shitty castoffs when you know how much I love designer shoes. Then you snuck in my house and stole my good shoes. And then you were going to take a cruise! After seducing my father—again! On the day of my funeral.” I was having trouble figuring out what made me the maddest. "

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