I decided that it would be fun to start a new feature; first lines to add the the wrap up of books I read every month. For me most of the time I pick up and look at books in the store it is the first lines that capture my attention and draw me in. It has always been intriguing to me the amount of thought that must go into those first words the author decides to but as the introduction to their work. The first lines are your first impression of the book. Here are the February 2020 First Lines!

Belle Révolte by Linsey Miller

” My mother did not shackle me despite my last escape attempt.”

Soulless by T.M Frazier

“I was mad at the world, at the whiskey for not being strong enough, at the drugs for not lasting long enough, at the fucking whores I banged for not getting me off when it was my fault my dick was fucking useless after a bucket of fucking blow.”

The Selection by Kiera Cass

” When we got the letter in the post, my mother was ecstatic. “

The Demigod Complex by Abigail Owen

” Lyleia Naiad stared at the white envelope sitting on her desk, trying to pluck up the courage to march into her boss’s office and hand it to him.”

The Elite by Kiera Cass

” The Angeles air was quiet, and for a while I lay still, listening to the sound of Maxon’s breathing.”

The Prince by Kiera Cass

” I paced the floor, trying to walk the anxiety out of my body.”

The Guard by Kiera Cass

“Wake up, Ledger.”

The One by Kiera Cass

“This time we were in the Great Room enduring another etiquette lesson when bricks came flying through the window.”
