Welcome to my Friday Fun post. This is where I share with three different book parties that post on Fridays: Book Beginnings on Fridays, the Friday 56, and First Line Friday.
This week I have two books and a novella to share with you.
I'm continuing my reread of the Holly series by C.C. Warrens in anticipation of reading her newest book that releases this May, Crossbones. I zinged through book three, Crossed Off.
I also zinged through the next book, Injustice for All, which is technically part of the Seeking Justice series, but is recommended to be read after Crossed Off and before book four, Cross the Line.
I'm currently reading the novella that fits between the two Seeking Justice books, Holly Jolly Christmas.
Book Beginnings on Friday
(Please join Gilion Dumas for Book Beginnings every Friday to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author's name.)
and
First Line Friday
(Please join Carrie for First Line Friday.)
Here are my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selections:
Crossed Off by C.C. Warrens:
"Ash drifted down around me like snowflakes from the night sky as I watched the women's shelter smolder."
This book starts off right where book two left off. It was quite the cliffhanger. And quite a devastating beginning for this book.
Injustice for All by C.C. Warrens:
The last time I shared about this book I had shared from the prologue. This time I am sharing from chapter one.
"It was like staring at an insect display - pinned in place with arms and legs outstretched and labeled for all to examine - only this display featured a man pinned in place by scalpels that had been driven through his hands into the tile of his kitchen floor."
Well, that is quite disturbing.
Holly Jolly Christmas by C.C. Warrens:
The last time I shared about this book I also shared from the prologue. So, here's the first line from chapter one.
"Marx sat in his car, staring at the familiar white house a hundred feet away."
Why was he staring at the house and why was it familiar?
Now for:
The Friday 56
The Friday 56 is normally hosted over at Freda's Voice. But Anne from My Head is Full of Books is taking over for a while.
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. It's that simple.
Here are my Friday 56 selections:
Crossed Off by C.C. Warrens:
"'What are the chances you would run into an ex-con bent on revenge at the address Danny gave you?'
'Slim. But Daniel wasn't lookin' to have me killed, so if this was a set-up, I don't think it was his doin'. If anythin', he was probably just the messenger.'
'You think he honestly didn't know? That someone used him to set you up?'
I followed Marx's and Sam's eyes to the apartment. If this was a trap, what or who was waiting behind that door? I seriously doubted it was Riley's owner."
Injustice for All by C.C. Warrens:
"Marx gazed at Lola as he tried to find his way into the mind of her killer. 'What happened that made him hate you so much?'
'Are you talking to me or the dead body?' Ella asked, her blond eyebrows arching with interest. 'I talk to dead bodies all the time. It's nothing to be ashamed about, and sometimes it's even therapeutic. Unlike living people, they don't interrupt or offer unsolicited advice.'"
Holly Jolly Christmas by C.C. Warrens:
"Dad grunted. 'So she does have a brain.'
Tired of his rudeness, Marx grabbed the piece of glass with the tweezers and ripped it out of Dad's foot without warning. Dad let out a string of profanity that would make a nun faint.
'Augustus Gray!'"
Reviews:
