Happy Friday before Christmas! Have you got all your prep done? I have finished my shopping and have just a few dishes to make before heading out to our cabin in the woods. Warm temps (60s as highs) and a possibility of rain is in the forecast, so no white Christmas. But, I have a bunch of books to snuggle up with, so Merry Christmas to me! One of the books I am taking along for holiday reading is End Game by Rachel Dylan. And with an opening line that promises great things to come, I am itching to start. What are your reading plans for Christmas?
For more First Line Friday fun, head over to Hoarding Books.
When elite members of the military are murdered on the streets of Washington, DC, FBI Special Agent Bailey Ryan and NCIS Special Agent Marco Agostini must work together to bring the perpetrator to justice. Unfortunately, all evidence points to a Navy SEAL sniper whom Bailey refuses to believe is guilty.
When Bailey and Marco start to connect the dots between the victims, including a link to a powerful defense contractor, they wonder if there’s a deeper cover-up at play. Then Bailey is targeted, and it becomes clear that someone is willing to kill to keep their dark secrets.
With the stakes getting higher by the moment in a twisted conspiracy, there’s a rush against the clock to determine whom they can really trust. As allies turn to enemies, the biggest secret yet to be uncovered could be the end of all of them.

Today, I’m sharing from Love You, Truly by Susan L. Tuttle: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/12/19/first-line-friday-115/. It’s such a good book!!! Currently, I’m just starting Isaiah’s Legacy by Mesu Andrews, so I’ll post a line from there:
“I hated weeding the garden alone, but I’d rather Abba copy his scrolls inside than bear our neighbor’s cutting remarks.”
Hope you have a great weekend and a blessed Christmas! 😊❤📖
I have Isaiah’s Daughter on my shelf, unread. I am woefully behind!
That’s a great first line! It would definitely keep me reading.
I’m sharing the first line from Breaking Point by Marji Laine on my blog today, but I’m currently reading Home for Christmas by Candee Fick. Here’s the first line:
On a Monday afternoon in mid-October, Tyler Sherwood found himself pacing backstage at the Showstopper Theater inside the Golden Palace Casino in Las Vegas.
I love Candee Fick’s romances and am looking forward to reading this one.
Enjoy your book and Merry Christmas!
Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Synapse by Steven James: “You do not hear your baby cry.”

That was a really interesting book.
My first line is from Seconds to Live by Susan Sleeman:
One Mistake. That was all it took to put Dustee’s life on the line-death right on her heels.
Rachel’s book is coming my way!
Merry Christmas!
I just finished Seconds to Live this afternoon. My review posts tomorrow. Merry Christmas to you!
