I don’t usually quote the first line but I thought this was too good to pass up.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” the bouncer said, folding his arms across his massive chest. He stared down at the boy in the red zip-up jacket and shook his head. “You can’t bring that thing in here.” City of Bones by Cassandra Clare p. 1

    Great teaser, and an interesting first line. The title alone though, was enough to make me want to take a peek inside this one. My teaser is up here.
