Happy FRI-YAY!!! Bring on the weekend!! Welcome to First Line Friday sponsored by Hoarding Books. Not sure what book to use I decided The Blood Spell by C.J. Redwine.
I love this cover and think it's a perfect book for fall.
First Line:
Mornings were a curse. Bernadina "Blue" de la Cour yawned and blinked at the golden sunlight that bathed the streets of Falaise de la Mer, the capital city of Balavata.
Mornings are a curse! Anyone else agree?
About the book:
Blue de la Cour has her life planned: hide the magic in her blood and continue trying to turn metal into gold so she can help her city’s homeless. But when her father is murdered and a cruel but powerful woman claims custody of Blue and her property, one wrong move could expose her—and doom her once and for all. The only one who can help? The boy she’s loathed since childhood: Prince Kellan.
Kellan Renard, crown prince of Balavata, is walking a thin line between political success and devastating violence. Newly returned from boarding school, he must find a bride among the kingdom’s head families and announce his betrothal—but escalating violence among the families makes the search nearly impossible. He’s surprised to discover that the one person who makes him feel like he can breathe is Blue, the girl who once ruined all his best adventures.
When mysterious forces lead to disappearances throughout Balavata, Blue and Kellan must work together to find the truth. What they discover will lead them to the darkest reaches of the kingdom, and to the most painful moments of their pasts.
When romance is forbidden and evil is rising, can Blue save those she loves, even if it costs her everything?

My first line is from Dark Ambitions by Irene Hannon
There was blood on the ice.
Happy reading!
Happy Friday! My first line is from "Cold Pursuit" by Gayla K. Hiss:
"Faith Chandler stared at the man walking in the distance."
Happy Friday! On my blog, I'm sharing the anthology Romancing the Rancher's Daughter. Here I will share the first line in Chapter 21 in the second story, A Measure of Mercy by Debra E. Marvin. When dampness kept Witt's shirt stuck to his back, and a much more feminine glisten shone on Addy's brow, he motioned her away from the dance floor in favor of refreshments and a much-needed break. Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing the first lines from Simply Starstruck by Aspen Hadley: "It's funny in life how you never recognize a big moment when it's actually happening."

Today on my blog I shared the first line from The Telegraph Proposal by Becca Whitham and Gina Welborn but I'm currently reading Aiming for Love by Mary Connealy so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (7) here: "Jo turned back to Dave to see him shake his head." Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time!
Happy Friday!
Today I'm sharing the first line from Son of the Father by Andrew Stone: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/10/03/first-line-friday-104/. I'm currently reading Fire Storm by Nancy Mehl so I'll share a line from there.
"When Jason came over to fix supper that night, Kaely told him about the assignment with Omaha."
I hope you have a relaxing weekend. 🙂❤📖
I agree! About both the cover and mornings.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!
