Convincing You to Read These 6 Books Based on their First Lines

It’s been a while since I’ve done a round up of books with first lines that will hook you in so I’ve got 6 for you today!

• Mistakes Were Made – “My cousin was lucky she was an entire state away and that murder was illegal.”
  
• The Defender – “In my defense, the pub didn’t have an explicit ‘no miniature pigs’ rule.”
  
• Good Spirits – “On the first day of December, the universe gave to me – A busted knee, a twisted string of garland, and a cat with an attitude problem.”
  
• An Offer from a Gentleman – “Everyone knew that Sophic Beckett was a bastard.”
  
• A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping – “It was hardly ideal weather for the resurrection of one’s great-aunt, but Sera Swan’s magical power, while impressive, hasn’t the slightest influence over the obnoxiously blue skies.”
  
• The Pumpkin Spice Cafe – “Jeanie Ellis had never killed a man before, but tonight might be the night.”

I’m always so excited to start a new book because I can’t wait to see what the first line will be. Have you read any books with great first lines lately?
