First Lines Friday: Uncover Your Next Read

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!

Happy Friday readers!

The book I’m going to share with you today is the one I’m reading right now. It’s the newest one in a series that just released today. I adore this series as each book features a new member of the Fallen Guardians, they’re fallen angels, and finding their soulmates. The main character in this one has been lurking around the background of the previous books with his quirky personality of always snacking on sweets.

So far I’m loving how this book opens up and jumps right back into all of the action where the last book left off. If you enjoy paranormal romance books where soulmates always find a way, then you’ll love this series, too!

Now onto FIRST LINES FRIDAY!

The situation went to Hell on a hotdog faster than River could say “hold the onions.” The Guardian mansion was in full chaos mode, and common sense told him it probably wasn’t wise to stand in a corner eating candy watching the events unfold. Some would say impolite. His sister, Raine, would for sure roll her eyes at him, but she was currently too busy twirling a Kiel around her finger itching to stab something. Or someone. Poor bastard. She was even more trigger happy now that her soulmate, Slater, considered misting to Hell along with Cole to save Evie after Blaine had kidnapped her only moments ago.

Again.

See? Absolute chaos.

Unwavering by Cassie Laelyn

Available Now!

Cassie Laelyn is back with the next thrilling instalment of her sexy bad boy angels series, The Fallen Guardians!

When dreams and destiny collide, trust is the ultimate killer.

River has always excelled at being the best. The best brother, the best friend, the best dresser. But never the best Guardian. So when Fate assigns him his first solo mission, he dives in with both wings. Until a Fallen suddenly hijacks his dreams, and throws his path into a deadly spiral. Now, he’s in a race to save his soul… and hers.

Broken and betrayed, Ebony is fresh out of allies. Held captive by the Guardians, she will do anything to escape and keep her sister safe. Including, trusting an angel. But when her ticket to freedom falls ill with a mysterious sickness, trusting her heart becomes the greatest danger.

With a power as cunning as Fate on the loose, River and Ebony must battle a new evil, before one of them pays the ultimate price.Each book in the series features a different main couple with a swoony HEA (no cliffhangers!). But if you’d like to follow along with the villain’s story, the series is best read in order.
