First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) 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
- Finally… reveal the book!
Got it? Okay let’s go! Here is the quote…
“It began with a crime. The theft of a boy”
Do you know this one?
It is the first adult novel by a well known YA author…
It just came out this fall…
Have you guessed?
Yes? No?
Give up?
Here it is!
Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare
I was actually hoping to have this finished before today so that I could write a review, but alas, it was not meant to be. So instead I am giving you the first line. I am almost done with it so hopefully I can do a review sometime next week. I have really enjoyed this one, and the audiobook is fabulous. I can not recommend that enough.
