Hey everyone!
It is time for this week’s First Lines Fridays.
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!
The first lines of today’s chosen book are:
When the car bypasses the main terminal building and pulled up next to a sign that said Private Jet Centre, Emily breathed in so fast she almost choked.
And the book is…
The Safe Place by Anna Downes
GoodReads Synopsis:
Welcome to paradise…will you ever be able to leave?
Emily is a mess.
Emily Proudman just lost her acting agent, her job, and her apartment in one miserable day.
Emily is desperate.
Scott Denny, a successful and charismatic CEO, has a problem that neither his business acumen nor vast wealth can fix. Until he meets Emily.
Emily is perfect.
Scott offers Emily a summer job as a housekeeper on his remote, beautiful French estate. Enchanted by his lovely wife Nina, and his eccentric young daughter, Aurelia, Emily falls headlong into this oasis of wine-soaked days by the pool. But soon Emily realizes that Scott and Nina are hiding dangerous secrets, and if she doesn’t play along, the consequences could be deadly.
I received a press release package for The Safe Place a few day ago, from Hodder & Stoughton. This book sounds so good, and exactly the type of book I love to read. I am planning on reading this as soon as I finish my current read!
Have you read this book?
If yes, what did you think of it?
Let me know in the comments!
