Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. It’s a suspense read for me this week, with the third book in Mike Nappa’s Coffey & Hill series: A Dream Within a Dream. I enjoyed the previous two books in this series, Annabel Lee and The Raven (if you’re sensing an Edgar Allen Poe theme here, pat yourself on the back), so I’m not expecting anything less with this one. And that first line is about as punchy as it gets!
About the Book
Trudi Coffey only realizes that she hasn’t seen Samuel Hill in weeks when the FBI shows up asking questions about him. After a strange encounter with an armed man demanding her help and an attack by a member of the Boston mob looking for someone named Dream, Trudi manages to find Samuel–or rather, he finds her. He’s made some pretty powerful enemies, but right now his full attention is on protecting Dream from the mob. Because Dream has something they want–the map to the location of artwork stolen from the Gardener Museum during the infamous 1990 heist.
With danger closing in from all sides, Trudi and Samuel will have to call on all of their allies to keep Dream safe and discover the identity of the people who have been hunting down Samuel. The real questions are whom can they trust? And who will make it out of this thing alive?

Piper Danson’s cheeks hurt from smiling for what seemed like hours with no relief in sight.
Excellent book as always from Ann.
Happy Friday!!

Have a lovely weekend!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first couple of lines from Molly by Sarah Monzon: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/07/03/first-line-friday-142/. I’m currently on chapter 6, so I will share from there.
“An eighty-hour work week — that’s all the hospital was allowed to work the interns and residents per the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. But when I’d gently reminded Dr. Feinburg of that fact after he’d assigned me to continue care for the patient admitted earlier, I’d been loudly and matter-of-factly put in my place.”
Hope you have a great weekend filled with family fun and relaxing reading time. 😀❤📚
Today, I’m sharing the first line from A Mosaic of Wings by Kimberly Duffy: “Nora Shipley’s ears buzzed as though a thousand bees were trapped inside her head.”
