Teaser Tuesday: Magic Under Glass and Inside Out

Got 2 more for you today.  Couple notes on each: my Magic Under Glass is a proof copy, so my bit I read may differ in the finished copy (on top of that, I flipped a couple of words at the end...)  Also, my copy of Inside Out is digital, so no pretty cover to show you while I read.

about Magic Under Glass:
Nimira is a music-hall performer forced to dance for pennies to an audience of leering drunks. When wealthy sorcerer Hollin Parry hires her to do a special act - singing accompaniment to an exquisite piano-playing automaton, Nimira believes it is the start of a new life. In Parry's world, however, buried secrets stir. Unsettling below-stairs rumours abound about ghosts, a mad woman roaming the halls, and of Parry's involvement in a gang of ruthless sorcerers who torture fairies for sport. When Nimira discovers the spirit of a dashing young fairy gentleman is trapped inside the automaton's stiff limbs, waiting for someone to break the curse and set him free, the two fall in love. But it is a love set against a dreadful race against time to save the entire fairy realm, which is in mortal peril. 


from pages 36-38

about Inside Out:
I'm Trella. I'm a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? Not like it's all that dangerous - the only neck I risk is my own. Until I accidently start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution. I should have just said no...

Once again, I am irritated at youtube; it always throws my vlogs out of sync.  If anyone knows why that is...
Reviews to come later in the week!
