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 Moving Target by Lynette Eason. So far, it is a pretty wild ride.
"...for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord."
Book Beginnings:
"...for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord."
The words grabbed the man by the throat. He pushed the half-eaten plate of spaghetti away and studied the passage again. He had read those words before, but never had he understood them to mean what was so clear to him now.
It had been six years.
Six years and the Lord had not exacted his vengeance. And it suddenly occured to him why.
He was to be the instrument used to ensure justice. He was the one the Lord had chosen and had just now revealed to him how he was to carry out the plans that would set the world right again.
He was the chosen one.
Synopsis (Goodreads):
When Maddy McKay and Quinn Holcombe don't show
up for Quinn's surprise birthday party, his friends know that something
is very wrong. Their search turns up little beyond evidence that Quinn
and Maddy just decided to take off for a long overdue vacation. But it
soon becomes apparent that they did not leave of their own accord.
Maddy
awakens in a cement room with no idea where she is. But it's not long
before she realizes she's in the clutches of a madman exacting revenge
by hunting. His prey of choice? Humans. Now Maddy and Quinn must run for
their lives, hoping to find their killer before the next game begins.
Because if they don't win this game, they die.

ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Everything is Just Beginning by Erin Bartels. It's pretty awesome!
"How about 492?
Ugh."
I looked up from the clipboard in my lap. "You don't like The Replacements?"
I hope you have a really excellent weekend!
Nicole, I read it a little while back. I hope you enjoy it! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteMy first line this week comes from Forged in Live by Mary Connealy:
August 1870. Pine Valley, Wyoming
A bullet slammed into the side of the stagecoach carrying Mariah Stover, her pa, and her older brother.
Paula, this one is really popular right now. I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI loved this one.
ReplyDeleteSarita, it was so good!
DeleteThat looks like a good one! I'm reading Yosemite Firestorm by Tanya Stowe. The first line is: "Olivia Chatham pulled her ranger Jeep into the parking lot of the hiking trail near Yosemite's Tuolumne Meadows and groaned."
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of that one! I hope you enjoy it!
