First Line Friday: So Over My Head

Happy Friday Everyone :)

I hope you've all had a great week, and that your weekend is off to a wonderful start.

I want to thank you all for joining me for another edition of First Line Friday, which is hosted by the lovely Hoarding Books.

The past couple of weeks, I've been reading and loving the Charmed Life Mysteries by Jenny B Jones. They're funny, they're light hearted, and I really enjoy the character growth that Bella has shown since the start of the novel.

I finished the third and final book at the start of this week, and I thought it was only fitting to use that title as my choice for this week's first line.

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Publication Date: May 3rd, 2010

About the Book:

Newly single, stalked by a killer, and in desperate need of some chic clown shoes--Bella is one skinny mocha frapp away from total meltdown. When the Fritz Family Carnival makes its annual appearance in Truman, Bella's keen reporter instincts tell her the bright lights hide more than they reveal. Her suspicions are confirmed when one of the stars is murdered. Though the police make an immediate arrest, Bella doubts this case is quite that simple. She needs her crime-solving boyfriend, Luke, more than ever. Problem is, his ex-girlfriend has moved back to town, giving Bella some murderous thoughts of her own. Then again, there's no time for a relationship crisis when Bella's doing her best to derail her father's wedding and stay one step ahead of a killer. Is God sending her a message in all of this madness? With a murderer on the loose and her boyfriend's ex on the prowl, this undercover clown has never had more to juggle--or more to risk.




My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed the final Charmed Life novel, and I thought it was a pretty good wrap up to Bella's journey. I thought she showed a lot of character growth throughout the series, and I was happy to see her truly accepting her new life in Truman, and falling in love with her new family. Her and Luke were adorable as always, and I truly love Ruthie as a character. She's hilarious, and is truly such a great friend to Bella. I loved this series, and I'm looking forward to reading Jenny B Jones' other young adult novels in the future since I've only read this series and There You'll Find Me. I honestly think she has an amazing talent for showcasing what it's like to be a Christian teen, and they are truly some of the best novels on the market for Christian teen girls today. I'm obviously not the intended audience, but I still really enjoyed them.

First Line:

"If my love life were the knife toss at a circus, I'd have Luke Sullivan speared to the wall with an apple in his mouth."
