Teaser Tuesdays:  The Supernatural Enhancements Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB @ Should Be Reading . Here are the rules: grab whatever you're reading, open to a random page, select no more than two sentence (NO SPOILERS), share the title and author, and GO! Here's this week's teaser: "I drank some water from the sink and glanced at the mirror.  I could see my skin with outstanding detail.  I checked the bulbs and saw the light grow brighter.  I squinted at the white glow reverberating on the sink, the wall tiles, and the shower curtain, haloing them all with an aura that seemed to corrode the outline of all objects and that of a shadow on the curtain.  Not my shadow .  A shadow  behind the curtain" --page 22           ----- The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero A creepy ghost story...that I tend to read right before going to bed... Happy reading!

Stieg Larsson's The Girl Who Played With Fire Logistics Title:  The Girl Who Play With Fire Author:  Stieg Larsson Published:  July 28, 2009 Publishing Company:  Alfred A Knopf Page Count:  503 Summary via Goodreads The girl with the dragon tattoo is back. Stieg Larsson's seething heroine, Lisbeth Salander, once again finds herself paired with journalist Mikael Blomkvist on the trail of a sinister criminal enterprise. Only this time, Lisbeth must return to the darkness of her own past (more specifically, an event coldly known as "All the Evil") if she is to stay one step ahead--and alive.

Fans of Larsson's prior work will find even more to love here, and readers who do not find their hearts racing within the first five pages may want to confirm they still have a pulse.
