Hello fellow book enthusiasts! I come with fair tidings and a question. Is there a opening line/scene/chapter that hooked you instantly? If yes, what is it? Is it your favourite and which book is it from?
For me, you cannot go wrong with the opening lines of Percy Jackson and the opening chapter of the Hacienda. Everyone is familiar with Percy Jackson and his "Look, I didn't want to be a half blood" but when you're reading this internal soliloquy from a Priest about God knowing nothing about loneliness while he's on his knees watching someone he loves go away, it hits harder. It literally took my breath away.
So what's your favourite opening?

this was so. much. fun. what a absolutely INSANE ride. this was my first marcus kliewer book but definitely not my last! i was absolutely terrified but fully entertained. this was exactly the read i was looking for. holy smokes. marcus’s writing is incredible and immediately reels you in. you are kept wanting more answers. i love the little additions at the end of each chapter, that was just an added layer to make you truly question things (and some of them spooked me out even more!). gosh i felt totally crazy so many times throughout this book! you truly are left wondering what the heck was true and not true. i can’t wait to read more of his work!
