Convince me to read your fav book with the first line/paragraph/sentence whatever

Yeah. I need to start a new book soon anywaysss soooo
 I’ll go first: “Catherine braces herself, but there is nothing left to come up. She grips the cold enamel and raises her head to look in the mirror. The face that looks back at her is not the one she went to bed with. She has seen this face before but hoped never to see it again. She studies herself in this new harsh light and wets a flannel, wiping her mouth then pressing it against her eyes as if she can extinguish the fear in them.” -Disclaimer by ReneĂ© Knight

Ooo, ok!

“After a year of slavery in the Salt Mines of Endovier, Celaena Sardothien was accustomed to being escorted everywhere in shackles and at sword-point. Most of the thousands of slaves in Endovier received similar treatment — though an extra half-dozen guards always walked Celaena to and from the mines. That was expected by Adarlan’s most notorious assassin. What she did not usually expect, however, was a hooded man in black at her side — as there was now.”

(Throne of Glass, book 1)

This is my favorite series there are 8 books, and it’s very much assassin/magic/fantasy based!

Wings of fire (there are 16 novels and 9 graphic noves)

“Beware the darkness of dragons,
Beware the stalker of dreams,
Beware the talons of power and fire,
Beware the one who is not what she seems.
Something is coming to shake the earth,
Something is coming to scorch the ground,
Jade Mountain will fall beneath thunder and ice,
Unless the lost city of night can be found“

(this quote is from the books 6-10)

“We heard the crash first. Right before the lights went out. We don’t live too far from the country club.”
(The Weight of blood, Tiffany D Jackson)

Warning
Please do not read if you are under 13 iykyk (I don’t know your age I am warning but, read if you want :] )
Other than that it is a really good book. I think if you love Dark Fantasy you will love it. It is not very heavy on fantasy it is more realistic. It is also mystery and horror. I think you will love it! :]

Ok so I can’t find the first book in the series but here’s the second. The first is Powerless, second is Reckless, and third is Fearless. My FAVORITE book Series EVER. Note that there is some romantic stuff, for it is a romance fantasy

Reckless:

My blood is only useful if it can manage to stay inside my body. My mind is only useful if it can manage not to get lost. My heart is only useful if it can manage not to get broken. Well, it seems like I’ve become utterly useless then.

My eyes flick over the floorboards beneath my feet, wandering over the worn wood. The mere sight of the familiar floor floods me with memories, and I fight to blink away the fleeting images of small feet atop big booted ones as they stepped in time to a familiar melody.

first 2 paragraphs of kotlc (keeper of the lost cities) by Shannon Messanger

“Miss Foster!” Mr. Sweeny’s nasal voice cut through Sophie’s blaring music as he yanked her earbuds out by the cords. “Have you decided that you’re too smart to pay attention to this information?”

Sophie forced her eyes open. She tried not to wince as the bright fluorescents reflected off the vivid blue walls of the museum, amplifying the throbbing headache she was hiding.
