Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat If you want to join in grab your current read, flick to a random page, select two sentences (without spoilers) and share them in a blog post or in the comments of Books and a Beat.
This week my teaser comes from Good Me, Bad Me by Ali Land, a title I received from NetGalley. It’s a dark psychological thriller about a 15 year old girl whose mother is a serial killer. I’m around a third of the way through and absolutely loving it.
My Teaser
An area of London where style trumps practicality. Appearance matters. Air kisses, as knives are simultaneously slid into backs. Twisted.

NEW.
ME . ‘
Annie’s mother is a serial killer.
The only way she can make it stop is to hand her in to the police.
But out of sight is not out of mind.
As her mother’s trial looms, the secrets of her past won’t let Annie sleep, even with a new foster family and name – Milly.
A fresh start. Now, surely, she can be whoever she wants to be.
But Milly’s mother is a serial killer. And blood is thicker than water.
Good me, bad me.
She is, after all, her mother’s daughter…
Happy reading everyone.

I reached around the halfway point on the train this morning and it just keeps getting better. Uncomfortable reading but addictive.

What a compelling teaser – in a very disturbing way… It’s not one for me as I don’t do psychological thrillers – but the writing style is clearly accomplished. Thank you for sharing.

I’m a bit hit or miss with psychological thrillers (I tend not to find them thrilling) but this one is good. Disturbing and uncomfortable reading at times but that’s a good thing in this type of book.

Wow, that sounds intense! It reminds me a tiny bit of I Hunt Killers which my daughter is reading right now.

This sounds brilliant. I didn’t see it on NetGalley, I guess its already archived now. I look forward to your review.
