First Line Friday
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for readers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, author, or prestige. We try to hook Readers by the first line, instead.
Psst, I found this in Becky’s Book Blog. Please go check her out!
Rules:
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be a current read, ARC, TBR, or favorite read (Hello, close your eyes and pick a book) and open to the first page.
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first.
It Is Actually the Couple Of Paragraphs!
Let the male murder spree begin!!!!
First Line(Paragraphs) Friday
Before all this started, I’d thought that squeezing the life out of someone would be easy. The right amount of pressure on their windpipe and they’d just go limp, like when a kitten suddenly falls asleep.
It’s actually nothing like that.
When someone who doesn’t want to die, realizes they’re going to die, they fight.
Holy fuck, do they fight. It’s astonishing how even the world’s worst monsters are desperate to keep living.
