Teaser Tuesday for Polterheist

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!
If you haven't read any of Laura Resnick's Esther Diamond novels, I recommend them for a fast read and a big laugh. They're hilarious. Just the title alone is priceless: Polterheist. Hehehe! Esther is an out of work actor who has the bad luck of stumbling on to supernatural mysteries. The cast is just as colorful as the title.
Here's your teaser:
I became convinced that something strange was going on at Fenster & Co. when a singing tree tried to strangle me.
Prior to that, I'd had my suspicions, of course. (page 1)

Teaser Tuesday with Vamparazzi

During the holidays when things get busy and sometimes things get stressful, I need a funny and light read. Laura Resnick definitely provides it with Vamparazzi. It's a novel in her Esther Diamond series. A hilarious supernatural read. It's a little silly and a little naughty, and great for bringing on holiday visits when you need a few minutes to get away from things.
Here's your teaser:
I frowned in confusion. "But you just said..."
"She was exsanguinated, Esther," he said. "Not bitten by an immortal creature of the night." (page 102)
