First Line Fridays


As you know, I am always buying books for my Kindle.  How can you pass up purchasing a book for under a few dollars?  I know I can't.  There are so many wonderful books out there that I want to read, and I love that I can take my Kindle with me wherever I go, which means I get to take dozens of books with me.  This book by Becky Wade is one I recently downloaded to my Kindle, and I absolutely love the front cover!  Has anyone else read this book?  Let me know in the comments below.  When I read the first few lines of the prologue, I knew I had to add this novel to my First Line Fridays list.  Enjoy! 

As always, please be sure to check out the book lines from these other amazing bloggers too:

  1. Well, that's got my attention!

    I've got the first line from "Will Not See" by Chautona Havig over on my blog today. Since it's the second book in the 'Sight Unseen' series, I thought I would share the first line (or two) from the first book in the series, "None So Blind", here:

    "Her arm stretched out from beneath the covers. Later, she would admit that in that moment her world changed irrevocably."

    Have a great weekend!

  3. Love Becky Wade and that line definitely has my attention!

    I'm featuring "A Name Unknown" by Roseanna M. White on the blog today, but the closest book I have to me right now is "The Writing Desk" by Rachel Hauck.

    "This should by night of triumph. To be queen of her world. An acclaimed, best-selling, award-winning author with the literati bowing at her feet."

    Happy Weekend!

  4. LOVE that book!
    Happy Friday! My first line is from Destitutio by Brett Armstrong, which I am excited to start reading:
    “The grisly, grey swirls churned up before Marcus, a thin mask to the merciless heat.”

  5. Oh, let's not even talk Kindle books (hides face). I have several thousand on my Kindle--some of which I just grabbed cause they were free, some of which I really want to get to.

    This weekend I'm reading Kim Vogel Sawyer's "Bringing Maggie Home." I'm a little over halfway and it's such a GREAT read! Here's the first line:
    Mid-July 1943
    "Hazel set a porcelain cup and saucer on the overturned apple crate in front of her little sister. 'Madam, would you like cream and sugar in your tea?'"

    My first line this week is from Vow Unbroken by Caryl McAdoo
    "He took the pinch of cotton Sue offered and rubbed it between his short, pudgy fingers."

  8. I love Wade stories. I can't wait to read this one.

    I'm currently in the middle of reading Rule of Law by Randy Singer. It's not typically a genre (military/legal) I read, but it's so engaging. Here's the first line:

    "They descended like vultures from the C-17 transport plane, silhouettes against a quarter moon in a tar-black sky."
