First Lines Fridays: April 8th, 2016

It’s #FirstLineFriday! Woohoo! Today’s first line comes from a new book by one of my very favorite authors, whose work just continues to grow by leaps and bounds with each book. Here we go!

 

Each week I will pick a YA or NA book from my shelves and copy the first line, in an attempt to acquaint you with some new reads or reintroduce you to old favorites. We will have an accompanying Instagram pic to go along with our choices each week so check out #firstlinesfridays!

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? If you want to join the meme be sure to check out Wandering Words, and here are her rules below.

The rules:

  • Pick a book off your shelf (or your current read) 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!

 

 

“l’ll show you mine if you show me yours.”

Aaannnddd, the book is Perfekt Balance by S.T. Bende! Here is the rest of the paragraph:

 

“I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” Forse Styrke lifted one corner of his mouth in a lazy smile. My heart thudded before tumbling headfirst into a familiar abyss.”

 

I just love this opening line and the rest of the first paragraph; I love when any man lifts his mouth into a lazy smile. Perfekt Balance is Book 3 of the Ære Saga and was released on Tuesday 4/5/16 on all major retailers, and it quickly rocketed to the Top 5 YA Bestsellers list on iBooks! Check out my review & excerpt!
