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!
First lines:
***********************************
***********************************
Snow drifted from a steel-gray sky the day my mother was buried, powdering the grid of gravestones and mausoleums in the Montparnasse Cemetery.
***********************************
***********************************
Do these lines look familiar????

A Hint:
It’s a paranormal romance featuring angels.
Author: Olivia Wildenstein

I have a beautiful special editions of this series sitting on my bookshelves (for my bookstore not my personal shelves), and I’ve been curious about the series, but I haven’t heard many people talk about it. I picked up a free kindle copy, though, and decided to give it a go, and I’m so happy I did because I’m thoroughly enjoying it!
Happy Reading,
Alison
