First Line Friday #47-The Chase

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? I am planning to go slow and easy today. I can't tell if my allergies are out of control or if I am getting a sinus infection or something. I have no plans for tomorrow, Church and a baby-sitting job on Sunday.

Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link).  This week I am reading The Chase by Lisa Harris. It is the third book in the US Marshals series.

He'd lied to her again.

Book Beginnings:

He'd lied to her again.

It was her fault for believing him in the first place. For trusting the slew of promises he never kept. He told her he loved her. 

About the book (from Goodreads)

After a harrowing attempt on a judge's life at the courthouse, Deputy US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are tasked with finding a missing woman and an endangered child in connection to the murder of the judge's wife. What seems like a fairly straightforward case becomes hopelessly tangled when the marshals discover that the woman they are searching for is in witness protection and the Amber Alert put out for the missing child has put two lives in danger.

Madison and Jonas are forced into a race to find the woman and the child before the men who want her dead discover her location. And in a final showdown that could cost her everything, Madison will come face-to-face with the person who murdered her husband.

USA Today bestselling author Lisa Harris concludes her thrilling US Marshals series with this breathless tale of secrets kept, lies exposed, and ultimately, justice prevailing.

  2. I liked The Catch but not as well as the first two in the series.

    My first lines come from Fatal Code by Natalie Walters which comes out next month. :

    “Death has no sting.”
    He studied the pastor speaking from the stage, a giant cross hanging behind him and smirked. Depends on how you kill someone.

  3. Happy Friday!
    I’m currently reading Blind Date with a Billionaire Reality Star by Evangeline Kelly. It’s super good!
    “I wasn’t sure if they were his actual favorite or not, but it thrilled me that Abby and I would have two hours with him on a sunset boat ride. The thought was absolutely heavenly.”
    I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

  6. Sounds like a cool series. I like books that feature U.S. Marshals because they have been tasked with such varied jobs (like protecting judges). Thank you for sharing. Have a good weekend.
