Book Beginnings & Friday 56 - #17

Book Beginnings on Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader. Every Friday we share the first sentence (or so) of the book we’re currently reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

My Book Beginning:  

Mercy Blade (Jane Yellowrock, Book 3) by Faith Hunter. 

I rolled over, taking most of the covers with me as I stretched.  I felt like a big satisfied cat – well fed, well-loved and nearly purring with contentment. 

My Thoughts:  I can just picture this in my mind and it makes me wonder what has made a “vampire” hunter so happy.

My 56 (Also from Mercy Blade by Faith Hunter ): 

   Anger scoring the sides of my mind, I dialed Rick’s number, I was shunted to directly to voice mail and hung up without leaving a message.  He knew my number.  He’d call if he wanted to. Madder than I’d been in a long time, I left the house, hopped on Bitsa, tearing out the of the Quarter and to the firing range where I blew off a head of steam, shooting my way through three boxes of shells and shredding four man-shaped targets before I quit, one target for each man I was mad at: Bruiser, Leo, Gee and Rick.

My Thoughts: Well, if I was one of those men….I’d avoid her for at least half a day and let her get her temper under control.  Or I would make sure to show up groveling and bearing gifts!

About Mercy Blade (Jane Yellowrock, Book 3) by Faith Hunter

Things are heating up in the Big Easy.

Weres have announced their existence to the world, and revived the bitter tensions that run between them and their old enemies: vampires.

As a trusted employee of Leo Pellissier, Blood Master of the City, Jane finds herself caught in the cross fire. When Jane is attacked by a pack of marauding werewolves, she is thankful for the help of a mysterious stranger named Girrard. He explains that he used to be Leo's 'Mercy Blade,' a sacred position charged with killing vampires who have gone insane. What Jane doesn't know is why this powerful assassin left New Orleans--or, more troubling, why he's now returned. It's definitely not to make Jane's life easier...
