Thanks to Rose City Reader for hosting this meme. To participate, share the first line or two of the book you are currently reading and, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line.
I have a delightfully chilling novel to share with you today, although I regret to also tell you it won’t be out til March. Set in a small Southern town unused to the meddling of outsiders, The Weight of Blood is a real treat. Here are the opening lines.
That Cheri Stoddard was found at all was the thing that set people on edge, even more so than the condition of her body. One Saturday in March, fog crept through the river valley and froze overnight.
Lots of atmosphere there, hm? Stay tuned! I should have an author interview to share with you soon.
This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
