Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I’ve just finished reading A Single Light by Tosca Lee (the sequel to The Line Between) and couldn’t help but make it my first line Friday choice when I read the first line. Check it out and let me know what you think!
About the Book
Six months after vanishing into an underground silo with sixty others, Wynter and Chase emerge to find the area abandoned. There is no sign of Noah and the rest of the group that was supposed to greet them when they emerged—the same people Wynter was counting on to help her locate the IV antibiotics her gravely ill friend, Julie, needs in order to live.
As the clock ticks down on Julie’s life, Wynter and Chase embark on a desperate search for medicine and answers. But what they find is not a nation on the cusp of recovery thanks to the promising new vaccine Wynter herself had a hand in creating, but one decimated by disease. What happened while they were underground?
With food and water in limited supply and their own survival in question, Chase and Wynter must venture further and further from the silo. Aided by an enigmatic mute named Otto, they come face-to-face with a society radically changed by global pandemic, where communities scrabble to survive under rogue leaders and cities are war zones. As hope fades by the hour and Wynter learns the terrible truth of the last six months, she is called upon once again to help save the nation she no longer recognizes—a place so dark she’s no longer sure it can even survive.
Fast-paced and taut, A Single Light is a breathless thriller of nonstop suspense about the risks of living in a world outside the safe confines of our closely-held beliefs and the relationships and lives that inspire us.

Audrey Clark adjusted her crossbody bag as she stepped out, under the cover of stars. The atmosphere matched her mood, dark and uncomfortable
I read the first book and soooo want to read thus one by Tosca Lee!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from A Christmas Haven by Cindy Woodsmall and Erin Woodsmall. It’s a great Christmas novella that I am thoroughly enjoying. I’m currently on chapter 17, so I will share the first line from there.
“The sun hung low on the horizon as Arlen released twenty-four cows from the milking parlor into the pasture.”
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!
Post-apocalyptic settings always grab my attention, and this one is no exception! Thanks for sharing it! I’ve just finished reading Dear Fahrenheit 451, so I’m sharing from it on my blog today. Here’s my FLF post: https://reviewsfromthestacks.wordpress.com/2019/09/20/mini-book-review-first-line-friday-9-20-2019/

Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I shared from Something Needs to Change by David Platt. Right now I’m about to start The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey so I’ll share the first line from that here: “Fire ripped through Finn’s right shoulder, ricocheting down his arm.” Hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Friday! My first line(s) is from “I Don’t Chase the Garbage Truck Down the Street in My Bathrobe Anymore!” by Dianne Barker:
“Weddings make me laugh. It’s that pledge to the spouse, “All my worldly good I thee endow.” If my husband had only known!”
Oh, I like that first line! I’m sharing from Aiming for Love by Mary Connealy on my blog today, so I’ll share the second line:
“She smiled inside, but kept the emotion tucked away.”
Happy reading and have a great weekend!
