So, without further ado, I give you... A Song Unheard by Roseanna M. White
The music seeped into her soul like fog over the Thames. Willa Forsythe leaned back against the grimy bricks and tilted her face up to the early-evening mist. It kissed her cheeks, cooled her, dampened her clothes. She let it. It was a reasonable price to pay for this.
I am SO excited to share the first line from my current read today! I had been hearing amazing things about this book and so far they are well deserved! (In fact, this book might have been featured on someone's FLF post last week? I've seen it so many places that I forget for sure. But no matter! I'm featuring it anyway!) This is my first Roseanna White book and if things continue the way they're going, I do not think this will be my last. SO good!

You and I are on the same page this week with the book we shared (even how many first lines we shared). This is my new favorite Roseanna White book!
ReplyDeleteHere's the first line from a book I hope to get to this weekend:
FBI Special Agent Kord Davidson had survived missions in the Middle East, been detained in Iran, escaped an ISIS death trap, and still walked and talked.
High Treason

Suzie: SO, so good, isn't it?! I loved it. :)
DeleteI've been wanting to read this series!

Happy Friday and Happy Reading!
Caryl: I haven't read book one of the series yet, but I've heard really, really wonderful things about that one as well. And this one? SO good! :)
DeleteWow! That's very descriptive and awesome. I love it. I might have look into this book just for that sneak preview. :D
ReplyDeleteJenni: Sneak previews are fun! You totally should. :D
DeleteLove this book so much. It's such a great read!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Over on my blog I am showcasing Naomi Rawlings's novel Love's Bright Tomorrow. Here I will share the first line from the novel I am currently reading, Mary and Bright by Shannon Graupman.
"Mary Bradford's heart raced as she sat on the edge of her king sized bed -- her gaze affixed on the single white sheet of paper resting on the nightstand."
Nicole: It IS! I definitely loved this story. :)
DeleteLove the line you chose! I'm reading A Name Unknown right now, and am loving it. I can't wait to read A Song Unheard! :-)
ReplyDeleteMiranda: Thanks! I haven't read A Name Unknown yet, but I have it high on my priority list. And after loving this one, I can't help but figure I'll love it too! :)
DeleteLoved this book!
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing the first line from Aint Misbehaving by Marji Laine on my blog. I'm currently reading My Sister's Prayer by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould. It's the middle book in a trilogy and I really shouldn't have read the third book first, because it did ruin some of the big-picture suspense. Here's the first line:
The cry for help came as I was coasting toward the bicycle rack at the far end of the story.
Iola: I heard such wonderful things, it convinced me to pick it up. And I'm SO glad I did! :)
DeleteI love the cover of this book! I used to play the violin. :) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteenglishmysteriesblog: Isn't that cover pretty? I can only dream of playing the violin, so wow that you learned how! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteVery fun! Enjoy your read!
ReplyDeleteJenny: I did!
DeleteHappy Friday and welcome to First Line Fridays! :)
ReplyDeleteEllie: Thank you! :)
DeleteThe first line on my blog is from a novel by Michelle Griep, The Captive Heart. Here, I will share the first line of Chapter 5 from the book I'm currently reading, The Captivating Lady Charlotte by Carolyn Miller "It was entirely possible that the excitement of last month's come-out ball was about to be surpassed."
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Annaliese: That's a good line! I think I have that one on my kindle unread at the moment, I need to move it up my TBR. :)
DeleteHappy Friday! (What's left!) My first lines (sorry, but I included the 2nd) is from These Healing Hills by Ann H. Gabhart:
ReplyDelete"Francine Howard stepped off the bus into another world. She should have been prepared."
Becky: I hear such wonderful things about Ann Gabhart books! Clearly I need to read one soon. :)
DeleteI just started A Song Unheard today, too! It's my second ever book by Roseanna. If you like this one (and I believe we both will), you simply MUST read A Name Unknown (book 1) soon! The mystery and hero and setting are all so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Courtney: I think I remember you gushing over A Name Unheard? You and maybe Rachel and I'm not sure who all else. But y'all definitely moved it high on my priority list, especially after trying this one! :)
DeleteI loved this book!
ReplyDeleteI have the first line from Tamara Leigh's latest release, The Awakening, on my blog, but here I'm going to share the first line from my current read, 'Weaver's Needle' by Robin Caroll:
"Unless you get one of those miracles they're always talking about in church, I don't see how you'll be able to keep the business open into spring."
Have a great weekend. :-)
Fiction Aficionado: I hear such wonderful things about Tamara Leigh'medieval stories. I need to try one someday soon! :)
DeleteAh, Suzie shared this one this week also! I am a big sucker for a beautiful cover and I really like this one. And her dress. I would totally wear that dress. Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteSarah: I know, right? I love this cover too! And definitely her dress. As for the violin? I can only dream of playing at this point. :)
Deletethis is your first Roseanna book??? I'm shocked! I share the blame. I should have pushed them on you ages ago :-P
ReplyDeleteMy current first line is from Cathy Gohlke's Until We Find Home: "Lightning crackled, splitting the night sky over Paris, illuminating letters painted on the bookstore window across the street: La Maison des Amis des Livres."
Carrie: I know, crazy, right?! The only excuse I have is that I simply have too many books on my TBR! ;)
DeleteI haven't ever read a Cathy Gohlke book yet either. I love that line though!
