Welcome to another Friday Post, where I will be linking up to:
Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop
This week, for the first three, I will be featuring Passport to Spy by Nancy Cole Silverman.
This is the second book in her new Kat Lawson Mystery series. I finished it earlier this week, and I loved it.
The book jumps right to the action. Take a look at this opening:
As a journalist, I know better than to insert myself into the center of a news story. Especially when reporting on a murder.
That gets your attention, right? Meanwhile, at 56% into the ARC, we find this:
“Viktor threatened to murder my mother if I didn’t help him. And if I went to the police or said anything to Hans or Erika about him, I’d disappear.”
I realize I'm not giving too much context for these quotes or anything about the book. But I don't think the quotes need them. They are great teasers all on their own.
As I said earlier, I loved this book. It's official release day is June 6th, but my review will be up June 1st. So, I hope you'll come back next Thursday to see what I thought about it.
Meanwhile, let's take a look at this week's Book Blogger Hop:
Are you reading more e-books lately?
I do feel like I'm edging that way lately. I only wound up with two physical books in May, and I'll only have three in June. I like to try to mix it up and be about half and half each month. Hopefully, I can get back to that in July.
That's it for me this week. Have a great weekend, especially those of us in the USA who get a long weekend.
I'm curious for more! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteReally great teasers that get my attention and raise my curiosity. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLove those snippets. I'm intrigued! Hope you have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Jonas by Susan May Warren. SO good!
"I'm sorry I got you into this."
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
What a way to jump right into the action. I think the aspect of a journalist reporting on a murder is a perfect opening.
ReplyDeleteGood teasers and I love the cover of the book. Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I have the first book in my TBR. This sounds so good too! I look forward to reading it. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check this one out. The series sounds really good. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed all the books I've read by this author and this sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe book I just finished is an ebook ... A Nanny for the Rancher's Twins by Heidi Main. The first line is: "Laney Taylor stepped out of her sedan and breathed in the earthy Texas air." I hope you have a great week!
