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:
I stand at the outer tarmac door staring at the plane I am about to get on and try my hardest not to freak the f out.
It’s easier said than done.
Not just because I am about to leave behind everything I know, though up until two minutes ago, that was my main concern. Now, though, as I stare at this plane that I’m not even sure deserves the dignity of being called a plane. a whole new level of panic is setting in.
Can you guess the book?
Hint: It has a one-word title.
Hint: The author is Tracy Wolff

Synopsis:
My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods…or monsters. I still can’t decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.
Then there’s Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn’t felt anything for a hundred years. But there’s something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what’s broken in me.
Which could spell death for us all.
Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I’m wondering if I was brought here intentionally—as the bait.

This is on my TBR. I’ve seen a lot of great reviews for it, too. Great first lines!
I bought it when it first came out and started it but had to put it aside for other book commitments. Hoping to return to it soon. 🙂
I’ve seen this book all over Instagram but this is the first time I’ve read the synopsis, and honestly, it sounds so good! I’m so glad I came across your post! Also, I love the gifs you included!
Thanks so much! 🙂 I read just the beginning of the book before I was sidetracked. I’m hoping to get back to it soon. 🙂
Guessed it !
Great idea 🙂

I thought I might know this one but I was completely off base LOL intriguing opener! I saw this one around a fair bit earlier this year and it does sound interesting. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks! The cover reminds me of the Twilight series covers. And I’m a sucker for a good romance. We’ll see! 🙂
