First Lines Fridays 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? If you want to make your own post, feel free to use or edit the banner above, and follow the rules below:
- 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 (I cheat a little bit here *cough*)
- Finally… reveal the book!

Hello, reader!
It’s another Friday, which means, it’s time for another First Lines Friday! This week, I’m featuring a book that I’ve been meaning to read for ages. Seriously, this book has been on my TBR for at least two years. Though, looking at some of the books lingering on my shelves, that’s actually not that long 😅😂 Still, I’ve finally started reading it and, so far, it has me intrigued.
The first few lines definitely pulled me into the story. Now lets see if they will do the same for you!
The Line(s):
“The lights go out. In an instant, everything is in darkness.”
The Hints:

This is a thriller that was released in 2020.

It is set on an island off the Irish coast.

And it all takes place at a wedding.
