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:
Flight from Death (Fly by
Night, Book 1) by Yasmine Galenorn
“Hurry Up, Damn It! Get
a move on woman!” Alex shoved me toward the stairwell and shoved the door by
shoving a wooden wedge beneath it, but that would only buy us a little time.
My Thoughts: I will give Alex a pass on his behavior because
obviously he is trying to save them from something – but otherwise Alex would
be in hot water with me! I’ve had this
book on my kindle since it came out and I’m determined to read it over the
weekend.

My 56:
Also from Flight from
Death (Fly by Night, Book 1) by Yasmine Galenorn
“Unfortunately, I really can’t wait. I have to question someone about a burglary
investigation. I’ll tell you, and you
can tell Patrick. The inspector found a
frayed wire in the wall that led to the fire.
Nothing suspicious about it – just…old house, old wiring.”
My Thoughts: Well, this really doesn’t tell me much about
what’s going on, other than there was a fire at an old house. I guess I’ll really have to read the book to
find out what’s going on…lol
What
do you think? Does this sound interesting to you? Have you read this?
About
Flight from Death (Fly by Night, Book 1) by Yasmine Galenorn
From New
York Times bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn comes an all-new series set
in the realm of her Otherworld novels.
I’m Shimmer, a blue dragon shifter. Thanks to a mistake, I was exiled from the
Dragon Reaches and sentenced to work for Alex Radcliffe, a vampire who owns the
Fly by Night Magical Investigations Agency. Now, not only do I have to adapt to
Earthside culture, but every time I turn around, somebody’s trying to kill us.
And worse, Alex is as gorgeous as he is exasperating. But you know what they
say: All’s fair in love and bounty hunting…
When an old friend of Alex contacts him about a haunting at the High Tide Bed
& Breakfast in Port Townsend, Washington, we think we’re on a simple ghost
hunt. But our investigation quickly transforms into a deadly fight as we
uncover an eighty-year-old murder, a cursed house, and a dark force trapping
the spirits within. To stop impending disaster we must break the curse and lay
the angry spirits to rest.

Have a great Friday!

I do wonder what is going on that would buy them some time. But the beginning seems so harsh I am sure I wouldn't pick it.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday Quotes
I'm wondering why the author used the word "shove" three times instead of varying it. Seems like an editor should have caught that. That makes me wonder if the rest of the book is edited well.
ReplyDeleteI do like the 56 excerpt.
My Friday post features WATERCOLORS IN THE RAIN.
This sounds good. I haven't read her for years. I am spotlighting Just This Night by Mari Madison this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHmm, not my kind of book, but I hope you enjoy it. Lots of intensity...and shoving, apparently. LOL. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide whether or not I would be able to get into this one. This guy likes to shove, which kind of made me laugh for some reason! Great post! My Friday Post: http://www.collegiatecatlady.com/book-beginnings-the-friday-56/
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great read. I'll have to check this one out. Have a great day!
ENJOY your book.
ReplyDeleteI don't read this genre, but I hope it is a good one for you.

My Book Beginnings
Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteNot a genre I read either, I'm afraid.
I am assuming that there has been a fire at the old house, so I am wondering if anyone has been injured?
I too, picked up on the repetitive use of certain words, however the ratings and reviews have overall been very good and I couldn't find comments from anyone who shared my observations, so perhaps things got better once the book got started.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend of reading the book :)
