***This is my first Teaser Tuesday in a long time! I'm so glad I'm finally able to get back into posting they way I used to. Look for more Teaser Tuesdays, Waiting on Wednesdays, Friday Finds (and coming soon my new Farewell Fridays)...as well as many reviews (these have been piling up!).***

My Teaser :

Black in the torchlight, they shone with iridescent blues and greens, as they began to move, like oil rainbows on dirty water. The thick, scaly plates that covered their bodies moved like a suit of armor, but they were not unbalanced and clumsy as a Human in a suit. They moved as though made of fluid, rolled like quicksilver as they advanced into the hall, steam roiling from their flared nostrils, surveying the battle with their hungry red eyes.

pg. 310
