Favorite First Sentences

Hello everyone!

I did a post like this a few months back and decided I wanted to do it again because it was so much fun and I only shared 5 last time. You can check out my original post here. First sentences are what get me hooked to a story, so they are a pretty big deal.

"Guilt is a hunter."

-Salt to the Sea, Ruta Sepetys

"There are moments in life when you know things will never be the same."

-The Cinderella Society, Kay Cassidy

"How did it happen this time?"

-The Goddess Test, Aimee Carter

"You do not enter a race to lose."

-Wonder Woman: Warbringer, Leigh Bardugo

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

-Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

"Sire?" she repeats. "How soon do you want it to get there?"

-Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher

"The Demon exploded in a shower of ichor and guts."

-Clockwork Angel, Cassandra Clare

"You've had bad days before, right?"

-Love and Gelato, Jenna Evans Welch

"Even as a little girl, I had thought that the swamp was a magical place where new lives began and old ones ended, where enemies and heroes weren't always what one expected, and where anything could happen, even to a clumsy princess."

-The Frog Princess, E.D. Baker

"If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book."

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day.
