Teaser Tuesdays: That's What She Said!

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

No blahdy-blah-blah this week, just my teaser which I feel speaks for itself:

MY TEASER: “Meanwhile, the first mate, Didier Ragot, descended from the deck into the cabin, opened a trapdoor in the floor and peered through a porthole into the ocean, using a flashlight. He glimpsed something by the rudder. ‘It was bigger than a human leg,’ Ragot later told me. ‘It was a tentacle’” (154).
