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:


“What in the world is going on?” Zoey Rivers’ eyes widened, unsure what was happening right in front of them. She’d seen a lot of things in her life, but this was one of the wildest. “Um. I think they’re playing badminton,” Steve Grace said, craning his neck and shading his eyes to see better. “But they’re not on the ground.” Zoey’s voice squeaked, and she knew it meant panic was hovering close by.

Book synopsis for Ghostly Trails by Paula Lester

Zoey Rivers loves her job as the Head of Staff at Sunnyside Retired Witches Community. Even though it means she's often the clean-up crew when mild senility leads to magical mischief.

But when the local police department calls to ask for her help solving a murder with ties to magic, the tables might be turned. Zoey's elderly residents could mean the difference between her solving the mystery and putting the killer away or becoming a victim herself.

This is a short prequel novella in a new witch cozy mystery series by Paula Lester. It briefly introduces the main characters and gives a glimpse of their world. If you love your mysteries cozy with a dash of magic and a big dollop of humor, scroll up and get it today.
