In Which First Line Friday Is Measured In Mere Minutes

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 with 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.

First Line(s) Friday Time!

summary review

 

She was too young to die. She was too young and too beautiful and too good to die. And yet none of that mattered, because in that moment she was lying awkwardly on her back,starting to convulse, gaping at the dark night sky, dying. The pouring rain mixed with the blood from her body, gathering beside her, on the bridge, in heavy torrents.
