“‘Lucy–’ Elinor began, removing her oar from the water and holding it high above her head, prepared to crack it down on the back of the beast, at the instant it should raise its head to strike.
‘And I am sure I should not have the smallest fear of trusting you,’ the other girl continued, noticing neither Elinor’s defensive crouch, nor that the "rock" was now rising slowly from the water, revealing more of its slimy, silvery bulk—and here were two red eyes, deep-set and glowering, set above a pair of nostrils breathing hot steam.”
-p. 123 of Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters’ Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

I bought this book when it fist came out, started reading it, then let a friend borrow it. I never got it back. I just won it from Nikola's book blog though so I will be getting into once again shortly. Great teaser.
This is a great teaser! I hope you are enjoying this book. I have heard so many great things of it. But unfortunately I have not purchased it yet. I am feeling so behind in my reading because I keep buying more books than I can read them.
Great teaser. I am most definitely going to have to get this one.
