Teaser Tuesday Meme #TuesdayBookBlog Savage Isle #horror #RBRT

I spotted the Teaser Tuesday Meme on Rosie Amber’s blog and thought it looked like fun. It’s hosted by The Purple Booker.

Welcome to Teaser Tuesday, the weekly Meme to share your current read, and tempt you to add books to your TBR pile. It is very easy to play along:

• 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! Everyone loves Teaser Tuesday.

I’m currently reading Savage Isle by Beverley Scherberger for Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team #RBRT

Teaser Lines:

I whirled as the big bear of a man launched himself at the monkey right behind me, poised to pounce. His momentum threw the primate against and through the already fractured rail. Both plummeted toward the angry sea.

Book Blurb:

Carl and Laralee and their team of scientists are hired by the Spanish government to develop a highly secret, revolutionary serum. Their goal—to create an army of carnivorous monkeys that would give Spain an indisputable advantage over its enemies. They succeed beyond their wildest dreams. However, greatly increased intelligence is an unexpected side effect that causes serious complications. The beasts are thinking, reasoning, and increasingly dangerous.

After one death and several serious attacks on workers, the scientific team is relieved to learn their request to move the facility to a larger island with more security and built-in safeguards is approved.

While awaiting news of a moving date, additional experiments with orangutans prove successful as well. James and Julie, the most advanced, skilled, and lovable of the facility’s apes, have mated. Will they produce the amazingly intelligent offspring the team expects?

During the facility’s relocation, a terrible storm wreaks havoc with their plans and the new island turns out to be anything but a safe haven. Carl and Laralee, Doc Gustav and Teresa, and the rest of the team battle for survival against their own nightmarish creations.
