Happy Friday!

The book I’m featuring this week is:

storm-rising

Amazon | Goodreads

He’d never killed a woman in cold blood before, but now was as good a time as any.

Okay, this may come as a total surprise, but I haven’t read any of Ronie Kendig’s books before even though I’ve wanted to. *Insert shocked face here*  I just received a copy of this one though so I’m quite excited to dig into it very soon! Plus I’ll get to meet the author next month at the Fiction Readers Summit in Grand Rapids, MI so I better get to it! 🙂

About the Book:

Once lost to history, the Book of the Wars has resurfaced, and its pages hold ancient secrets and dangers. Former Navy SEAL Leif Metcalfe has been tasked with capturing the ancient text, but a Bulgarian operative snatches it, determined to secure her freedom. When a series of strange storms erupt, they must form an alliance to thwart impending disaster.

    I’m currently reading Andrew by Jennifer Beckstrand and LOVING IT! I loved the first line of chapter three so I’ll share that line. ” Alfie Benaiah Petersheim, get that cat off my table!”

  3. I am currently reading an ARC of The Bridge Between by Lindsey Brackett. Here’s the first line — She still had trouble sleeping.

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    On my blog I’m sharing the first line from Underestimating Miss Cecelia by Carolyn Miller: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/07/18/first-line-friday-94/.

    Today, I’m currently reading The Spice King by Elizabeth Camden. It’s an excellent story that I highly recommend! I’m just starting chapter 34, so I’ll share from there.

  6. I have several Ronie Kendig books on my shelves, but I’ve only ever read one! Since I’m sharing from chapter 1 of Yours Truly, Thomas by Rachel Fordham on my blog today, here is the first line from the prologue:

    “After letting an involuntary squeal escape, Penny pulled the yellowed papers closer and pressed her lips to them.”

    Happy Friday and happy reading!

  7. A great first line! I’m sharing on my blog the first line from At First Spark by Liwen Y. Ho.
