Happy Friday, my bookish friends! I hope you all have a great day and weekend! First Line Friday is 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. This week I am reading Shadows at Dusk by Elizabeth Goddard. It is the second book in her Missing in Alaska series.
The old cargo plane vibrated as the pilot descended into the airdrop zone, the turbulence shuddering through Carrie James.
Book Beginnings:
Prologue
Airspace over Zhugandia, East Africa
The old cargo plane vibrated as the pilot descended into the airdrop zone, the turbulence shuddering through Carrie James. She braced herself on a bench a few feet from the secured freight-emergency supplies that could mean the difference between life and death in a food-starved, war-torn country.
Battle-scarred was exactly how her heart felt, especially with Darius Aster sitting so close. She struggled to comprehend his betrayal.
My heart is splitting in two.
Good thing Bongani and his brother Tariq piloted today instead of her.
Synopsis (Goodreads):
Montana Detective Trevor West is desperate to
learn what happened to his sister, who went missing in Alaska over a
year ago, leaving nothing but a few photographs as clues to her
whereabouts. At the advice of Police Chief Autumn Long, Trevor enlists
the help of an experienced bush pilot. If Carrie James can't help him
find the places in the photographs, no one can.
But Carrie has
her own agenda. Grieving the death of her closest friend and the only
person she could trust, Carrie will help Trevor find his sister on one
condition--that he help her track down her friend's killer.
As
the two close in on the answers they crave, they'll face dangers and
connections they could not have imagined. They'll have to learn to trust
one another--and face the dark secrets of the past--if they are ever to
discover the truth and bring a killer to justice.

Interesting beginning! Are you enjoying it so far?
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I am. It is jumping around a bit between characters and locations, so much going on, but it has my interest!
DeleteThat would definitely hook me in! I'm reading Tom Lake by Ann Patchett at the moment. First line: That Veronica and I were given keys and told to come early on a frozen Saturday in April to open the school for the Our Town auditions was proof of our dull reliability.
ReplyDeleteEthan, I have seen that one going around. I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently right in the middle of Julia Monroe Begins Again by Rebekah Millet. It's pretty good!
"Connor's pulsing dot had not been in his dorm room all night long. I knew this because I'd been up at all hours monitoring it. He'd been at a new location I'd never tracked him to."
The main character, Julia, is a widowed mother of two teens at college. She's a little overprotective, to say the least.
I hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!
Hey Nicole, I stopped by your blog earlier and my computer was being funny again, I couldn't leave a comment. I am struggling with a lot of Google accounts. Can't wait for your review!
DeleteI like that line about her heart feeling battle-scarred! This is another one that I think I would really like. :D
ReplyDeleteLark, she is a great author!
DeleteThat's a great beginning. I really need to start this series. Hope you have a wonderful week, Cindy! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley!
