First Line Friday – March 31st, 2023

First Line Friday 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?

The Rules:

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!

-The First Lines-

There was a vulture on the mailbox of my grandmother’s house.
As omens go, it doesn’t get much more obvious than that.

Any guesses?

New Southern Gothic horror from T. Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon).

I can’t wait to pick this one up and get it started. I have been mostly in love with her work and this one sounds promising.
