Book Beginning's & Friday 56 - #90

Book Beginnings on Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Gilion at 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:  

Hallowed Ground (Julie Collins, Book 2) by Lori Armstrong

Late Afternoon

Atonement Day                                                                                          

My Thoughts:  Things don't usually go right on days people call "Atonement Day" - you know what they say about Karma and all that....lol

My 56 (Also from Hallowed Ground by Lori Armstrong – about 56% on Kindle):  

Kim had sprawled in the recliner, feet up, my Days of '76 mug in hand. "Does Kevin know?"   

"What? About the accident?"    

"No, that you're sleeping with Tony Martinez."

I choked when I exhaled. 

My Thoughts:  From what I remember there are several such scenes like this when Julie is confronted about her life choices.  Can't wait to re-read this. 

So what do you think?  Do the teasers tempt you? Don’t forget to link up below and at Freda’s Voice.  

                                                             

Hallowed Groun (Julie Collins, Book 2) by Lori Armstrong

A kid in trouble is my weakness. That’s why Tony Martinez, president of the Hombres motorcycle club, hires me to track down a five-year-old Native American girl who’s become a pawn in her parents’ custody dispute.

Simple, right? Find kid, collect fat fee, and celebrate my superior PI skills with the dangerously sexy MC overlord. Except…Martinez neglected to mention a few crucial details. Like the girl’s father is the foreman on the controversial new Indian casino under construction, and the girl’s mother works at a rival Deadwood gaming hall run by an East Coast crime family.

After bullets start whizzing at me, I’m in Martinez’s face, demanding answers. Turns out plenty of people are determined to stop the casino from opening, including competitors, local ranchers, and a Lakota holy group.

As the violence escalates and the bodies pile up, everything around me begins to tumble like a house of cards. My search for a missing girl puts me on the wrong side of tribal politics and at odds with everyone—Kevin, Martinez, and even my father.

In a fight for my life after I attract the killer’s attention, I realize no place is safe…not even hallowed ground.
