This week's teasers are taken from Assassin by Patricia Finney and Battle of the Beasts by Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini. Enjoy.

Assassin (Lady Grace Mysteries, 1) by Patricia Finney (my review):

He stepped aboard and the snake rowed him away towards London town.
       "After the black ship had departed, I shouted, too, and lo! a golden barque with a ruby sail appeared, rowed by a yellow serpent, who said, `What is your desire, O' Prince of Acrobats?` page 137

Battle of the Beasts (House of Secrets, 2) by Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini (my ):
review
