Books: First Lines Fridays 31st January 2025

Welcome to another First Lines Friday! Are you ready to judge this week's book based purely on it's opening lines? 

Disclosure: The FTC Disclosure Provision is a law that requires influencers to disclose when they are being paid to promote a product or service. So please know that if I'm not making money through affiliate links/sponsored content on the post you're currently reading, it's an oversight on my part and will be corrected soon. Read the full disclosure about all the legal stuff here.


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. 

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:


The farmhouse was infested with pixies. You didn’t see them peeking out from behind the lacy wisps of seemingly moth-eaten curtains, nor snatched glimpses of them in the gloomy cracks between the porch’s warped floorboards. It was the entire look of the place, like the old farmhouse and its decrepit garden were clinging to the life of one final breath before finally, begrudgingly, submitting to an existence of neglect.

Book synopsis for The Problem with Pixies by Kat Lapatovich Healy

A pixie-infested farmhouse.
A pain-in-the-butt familiar.
A hunky lumberjack shifter.

Not at all what a witch on the run like me expects to find in small-town Redbud, Indiana, but life’s been throwing me a bunch of curveballs lately.

Most recently? Discovering a demonic curse on the family grimoire sucking the magic straight out of my coven’s hearts. 10 out of 10 do not recommend, and there’s only one thing an uninitiated witch like me can do.

Steal it.

Get that spell book as far away from my family and the rival coven who cursed it, hide it, and figure out how to break the curse. Preferably before it decides to infect me. Or those hellhound trackers hunt me down.

Say goodbye to carefree afternoon teas and hello to a new identity, a new town, absolutely no distractions—including that gorgeous bad-boy shifter with his own hidden past—and a secret place to work. So those overly curious, gossiping pixies currently infesting my new farmhouse? They gotta go. Tonight.

A new witch is in town, and I’m on a mission.
