Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of adailyrhythm.
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!

Pam Garcia offered me a copy of Europa: Awakenings, Book I of the series, and just by looking at the cover (the one at the bottom of the post), I knew I wanted to read this. There are two covers, the one below and the one I have at the bottom of the post. Which do you like best?
Want to make a visit to Atlantis?
MY TEASE
“I am sorry, but for now I am not allowed outside,” Europa said. “I must remain behind these walls.”
“What do you mean you’re not allowed outside?” Terrance asked, suddenly very concerned Europa was being kept a prisoner in her own home.
“It is for my own protection,” Europa said, seeing the concern on Terrance’s face. She realized he couldn’t comprehend why she was confined to the house. “It is okay, I have agreed to it.”
(156 of paperback)
