Happy Friday, my lovely peeps!!
It's a nice and sunny day today. I desperately want to finish work on time, so that I can just sit out on the patio and reading and journaling. The next few hours ought to slow down juuust a bit so that I can finish all of my work to-do items!
Today's post, a First Lines Friday! I haven't done one since last month! Can you tell what book I'm reading based on the opening lines?
First Lines 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?
- 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!

This week's lines...
Igniting a miniature sun was the riskiest thing we'd ever attempted, yet we were doing it in front of the entire planet.
Enjoyed that preview? This week's book is…
The Price of Safety by Michael C. Bland
Blurb
By 2047, no crime in the U.S. goes unsolved. No wrongdoing goes unseen. When Dray Quintero learns his 19-year-old daughter Raven committed a heinous act, he covers it up to save her life. This pits him against the police he's respected since he was a child and places him in the crosshairs of Kieran, a ruthless federal Agent. To survive, Dray must overcome the surveillance system he helped build and the technology implanted in the brains and eyes of the citizens.
To protect his family, he turns to a group of fighters who also discovered the government's secret. But their help isn't enough, for his adversaries have a level of control he's unable to escape. That no one can.
Hunted and betrayed, with time running out, Dray must choose between saving Raven and dismantling the near-perfect society he helped create.
