There really is something to be said about a good first line, and I'm going to be using this tag from now on to showcase my current read's first lines.
This week's First Line Friday is coming from Smoke and Mirrors: The Trueheart by Helene Opocensky. It was released on October 10, 2020, and I'm currently reading an ARC from Netgalley.
"They had him cornered. There were three of them, two guys and a pretty, dark-haired girl. Corbin figured they were about his age--sixteen, maybe a little older. He looked at the girl again--well, maybe a little younger. It didn't really matter. What mattered was that they had him cornered, and he had to do something about it."
I like this as a first line because it jumps right into the the kind of character Corbin is, quick thinking and resourceful.
