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 was a late November night when the wind was blowing like Father Frost and the Thames was near frozen that Forster wondered if he had been cursed.”
Do you know this one?
I am intrigued!
I want to know if he is cursed, don’t you?
Have you guessed?
Yes? No?
Give up?
Here it is!
Upon a Frosted Star by M. A. Kuzniar
Summary from Goodreads:
When the snow falls, she will be free…
The invitations always arrive the same way – without warning, appearing around the city on the first snowfall of the year, simply inscribed with ‘Tonight.’
When struggling artist, Forster, finds an invitation, he’s bewitched by the magic of the evening, swept up in the glamour of this notorious annual party and intrigued as to who is behind them.
Determined to find out more about the mysterious host, Forster discovers an abandoned manor house silent with secrets and a cursed woman who is desperate to be free…
I should be picking this one up from the library today and I am so excited. I am almost tempted to start reading it as soon as I pick it up, but I really need to read another one first. But this one is definitely going to be next.

Oh this sounds interesting! I’ve read one book by this author and enjoyed it but hadn’t heard of this one. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it 🙂
