First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books and participants share the first line from a nearby book.
Today I'm sharing the first line from Lake Season by Denise Hunter:
"The house was eerily silent."
What are you reading this weekend? I'd love for you to share your first line below. 😄
Have a great weekend! Happy reading!
About the Book:
A lost letter, a new love, and old secrets beckon this summer at the Bluebell Inn.
When their parents die in a tragic accident, Molly Bennett and her siblings pull together to fulfill their parents’ dream: turning their historic Bluebell, North Carolina home back into an inn. The situation would just be temporary—three years at the most—then they would sell the inn and Molly could get back to chasing her own dreams.
Adam Bradford (a.k.a. bestselling author Nathaniel Quinn) is a reclusive novelist with a bad case of writer’s block. Desperate for inspiration as his deadline approaches, he travels to the setting of his next book, a North Carolina lake town. There he immediately meets his muse, a young innkeeper who fancies herself in love with his alter ego.
Molly and Adam strike up an instant friendship. When Molly finds a long-lost letter in the walls of her inn she embarks on a mission with Adam to find the star-crossed lovers and bring them the closure they deserve. But Adam has secrets of his own. Past and present collide as truths are revealed, and Molly and Adam will have to decide if love is worth trusting.
I loved Lake Season! Right now I'm reading If for Any Reason by Courtney Walsh. I'm just starting chapter 19, so here's the first line of that chapter: " July 1989 -- Nearly three full days passed before Isabelle could escape long enough to find JD."
