Books: First Lines Fridays 6th December 2024
I'm participating in First Lines Fridays as I think it's a great way to highlight more of the books that are on my bookshelves.
Are you ready to judge this week's pick based purely on it's opening lines?

What is First Lines Fridays?
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!
My Pick For This Week
The first lines of the book:
A branch snapped outside my window, but I never heard it hit the ground. I kept my eyes closed and imagined the branch, heavily laden with snow, breaking under the weight and falling to the earth, the fresh fallen snow muffling the sound of impact.

Secret tunnels. Taxidermized cats. Disappearing children. A simple college assignment leads to dark places in this page-turning thriller.
Sophomore journalism student Anne Dodd chooses to spend winter break with her eccentric aunts in a Victorian house on the edge of Lake Michigan. When Anne decides to do her winter break journalism project about a local child gone missing, she expects it to be an easy task. She’ll interview the cute cop in charge of the case and write an article. But the more Anne dives into the missing child’s story, the more she learns about her own family’s secret past.
Between navigating a budding romance and chasing the trail of two missing children, one from her past and one from her present- Anne soon ends up over her head. Can she make it out unscathed, or will this winter break prove to be the one that changes her forever?
