Sadie Goodwin’s literary dreams came to a shuddering halt in the middle of her favorite SoHo coffee shop.
A Novel Proposal by Denise Hunter
I love a good cozy mystery, and this one sounds like fun!
My first line:
It’s six a.m. on a dismal Saturday, and I’m standing in awe of a memo sheet jumping across Alec Zavos’s desk blotter in his freezing barn office.
“What do you mean he’s missing?” Lt. Jason Danvers set his fishing pole aside. Myra Stone wasn’t given to panic. He’d never even noticed the lady flustered. Until this phone call.
BREAKING POINT by Marji Laine
My first line comes from The Maid’s Diary by Loreth Anne White
Slowly, she slides between sleep and consciousness. A shard of cognition slices through her-no, not sleep. Not in her bed. Not safe. Panic stirs. Where is she? She tries to swallow, but her mouth is dry. There’s an unfamiliar taste at the back of her throat. A sharper jolt of awareness cracks through her. Blood-it’s the taste of blood.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone 😉
I hope you enjoy this one, Carrie!
I’m sure I’ve seen this book somewhere before. It’s not style, but looks interesting!
My first line comes from The Maid of Ballymacool by Jennifer Deibel:
County Donegal, Ireland September 1935
The slap had hit its mark, leaving a burning outline Brianna was certain showed perfectly on her cheek.
I’m currently reading Brooke by Ronie Kendig. It’s intense.
“Holy fires, it hurt to breathe. She wanted to slow down but knew she couldn’t.”
I hope you’re having a great weekend!
great first lines!
That looks like a fun read! I’m just beginning Kidnapped in Texas by Virginia Vaughan. The first line is: “Abby Mitchell crossed the street to drop a letter into the mailbox.” Hope you have a great week!
i hope to read that one soon!
