First Line Friday: The Traitor's Pawn

Happy Friday Everyone :)

I hope you're all staying safe and healthy wherever you're reading from today.

Our province has begun lifting some of the restrictions this week, and it's making me very nervous. We've already had quite a few issues with people not following the proper social distancing guidelines, and it's a tad on the scary side in my opinion. I'm still choosing to mainly stay at home unless I need to pick up necessities, and will probably keep doing so for at least the next little while.

Today I'm once again excited to be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday.

First Line Friday basically just consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading, and it's a great way to find more amazing books to add to your probably already never ending tbr pile.

For today's edition, I'm going to be sharing the first line from the very first novel I've ever personally read by Lisa Harris.

The Traitor's Pawn by Lisa Harris:

About The Book:

When FBI agent Jack Shannon arrives in Corpus Christi, Texas, he is focused on one thing: find the man who has been selling encrypted government secrets to the Chinese through online birding chat rooms. But when a senator is shot during a hunting trip and the woman he was with is abducted, Jack agrees to join the search--especially when he discovers that the kidnapping victim is Aubrey Grayson, a woman he was once in love with.

As the search continues, it becomes clear the senator may not have been the intended victim--and Aubrey may be connected to the other case Jack is supposed to be working on. Can Jack untangle the knots before it's too late? And when he learns the truth, will it be too painful to get past?

Join the hunt for the truth--and a traitor--in this tension-laden story of secrets, betrayal, and second chances.






My Thoughts:

I was really excited to read this one as it was my first time ever reading a book by this author. I received a copy of it as part of the Revell Reads Blogger Program, and I'm only sorry it has taken me this long to finally pick up one of Lisa's books. I loved the emphasis on the investigative side of the mystery, and I actually really enjoyed the fact that the romance plays such a small part of the overall story. I also loved the fact that the two main characters were friends in their teens and early twenties that lost touch, rather than it being about two complete strangers who are thrown together. I fully reviewed this one on my blog on Wednesday, which you can check out here, but suffice to say that I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. 





First Line:

"Watch Your Back.....this isn't over."

Isn't that an amazing line to start off with? It really pulled me into the story right from the start.
