Teaser Tuesday: Griffin's Storm by Darby Karchut

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

This week my teaser comes from Griffin's Storm by Darby Karchut. This is the third book in this series. I received the first book in the series from the author for review. I thought the blurb sounded good and the author was a fellow teacher. I didn't expect to fall in love with the series...but I did. Since then I have been eagerly anticipating each new book. I just got this one a week ago.

Here is the description:

An old enemy returns. A new alliance is formed. And Griffin finds himself in the eye of the storm when an ancient racial hatred is set loose, jeopardizing the very existence of the Terrae Angeli.

Once again, the teen guardian angel is forced to battle his worst nightmare.

But this time, Griffin comes back swinging. With a vengeance. 

After all, an eye for an eye...

Teaser:

"Hel - loooow!" Griffin waved a hand back and forth. "Earth to Basil." He grinned. "Literally."

The Mentor forced himself into the present. Clearing his throat, he straightened up. "Where were we?"

"Well, I'm not sure where you were just now --"

"Not important."

"--but I'll bet you were about to tell me that I need to be careful. But to keep things in perspective because that wacko may just be blowing smoke. And, probably, you were also going to remind me that between the  two of us, we can handle anything that comes our way. Because we always have and always will." He made a flapping motion with his hands. "You know Go Team Angel and all that."
