It's about time Dani and I did another Teaser Tuesday; sorry for missing a few weeks! Our busy school stuff is officially over, so its time to post our TT for this week! I am currently reading Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi and Dani is reading Prodigy by Marie Lu. As soon as she's finished, we'll get up a review for Prodigy! So for our TT today, I have a teaser for you from Under the Never Sky. The sequel to this, Through the Ever Night was recently published and got my attention. I finally got a copy of Under the Never Sky to read, and it is fully intriguing me so far! 

Here is the Goodreads Synopsis: 

WORLDS KEPT THEM APART.

DESTINY BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER.

Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim.

Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive.

If they can survive, they are each other's best hope for finding answers.

And of course here is your teaser:  

 

"The creature in the tree lifted its head, daylight glistening on the saliva that ran down its chin. With its eyes on the Outsider, it uttered a strange, desperate wail. An inhuman sound, but Aria understood. It was a call for mercy.

--(pg. 140, Under the Never Sky)

Eeep! What a chilling line from this book! I actually haven't gotten this far yet so I'm wondering myself too. Why is this "creature" begging for mercy? Can't wait to find out!
