First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!

Any ideas?
This is my current Beat the Backlist challenge read which I’m absolutely loving.

But the project isn’t all that it seems, and Rory soon learns what’s at stake for the people and animals that live there…
