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!
CLAY by Tony Bertauski
MY TEASE
They’re not men and women.
They’re bricks.
Fabricated men and women – black skin, white skin, Asian, Hispanic – ignore the onlookers and gather at the front door.
It’s possible Nix could have fooled them.
SYNOPSIS
Jamie wants to be a halfskin.
Her life has become dull and pointless. If she had more biomites, the synthetic stems cells that promise hope and healing, she could take control of her life. But Jamie’s body is already 49.9% biomites. The rest is clay—her God-given organic cells. Anymore biomites and she becomes a halfskin. And halfskins are shutdown.
But there is a way.
Black market biomites, called nixes, can’t be detected by the government. She’d have to sacrifice her clay, but nixes can make her halfskin without anyone knowing. But first, she has to find them.
Nix Richards can help. He’s the first halfskin to escape the government and Jamie has something he wants. He’ll need her to help him find a fabricator to build a human body. He’ll betray anyone to get it, even those closest to him.
This psychological thriller will keep them second-guessing every move while they elude Marcus Anderson and the governing agency that seeks to rid the world of biomites. But in the end, they’ll all discover just how deep the betrayal goes.
Interesting teaser 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

I saw where you won them both. I have not read Halfskin, but Tony sent me Clay for review. I think it will be another creepy good book from him. I have two books I am reading right now.
Wow, very cool – and I think I would love to read this! You bring the best out, Sherry! Lots of love, Emily
Happy to add to your TBR list, Emily. Always nice to see you stopping in. Have a great day.
I’m not sure that I get the whole ‘bricks’ thing, but then again it’s probably on a need-to-know basis, and not having read this book it’s not surprising that that teaser left me scratching my head. Still, I rather enjoyed that snippet, and it left me wanting more which is always a good sign. Thanks for sharing!
Then my work is done. LOL
It’s been a while since I’ve read a good sci-fi. I love the cover and the teaser was intriguing! I might have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

You hit the nail on the head, Kerry. Thanks for stopping in and happy reading.
Interesting.
It is different and I like that. Thanks for stopping in Freda.
Hmm, that’s an interesting premise. Looks like it could a good, intense read.
Intense is an apt description. I’ll need to remember that. Sometimes I don’t come up with what I am trying to convey. Nice to see you and happy reading.
Wow what an interesting prose; this one looks good! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

I am finding this an original and creepy story. Tony is great at creating worlds that will have you squirming. Happy reading.
That teaser is quite chilling, Sherry! And the premise sounds so good. I think I need to add yet another book to my TBR 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
