Friday Firsts is a new meme that runs every Friday over on Tenacious Reader. The idea is to feature the first few sentences/paragraph of your current book and try and outline your first impressions as a result. This is a quick and easy way to share a snippet of information about your current read and to perhaps tempt others.  Stop on by and link up with Tenacious Reader.    This Friday I’m reading : The Only Child by Andrew Pyper

She was awakened by the monster knocking at the door.

Lily knows better than most how unlikely it is that this is real.  Through her years of training and now her days in the courtroom providing expert testimony on psychological states of mind, she has learned how shaky the recollections of children can be.  And she was only six when it happened.  The age when certain things get stuck in the net of real memory, and other things you try to sell yourself on having happened but are in fact made up, turned into convincing bits of dream.

What is verifiably known is that Lily was small for her age, green-eyed, her straight black hair snarled into a nest.  The sole survivor and there was the body, of course.  Her mother’s.

My First Impressions

I admit I’m looking forward to this book very much!  So, I probably enjoyed the start and had a great first impression regardless.  That being said – it’s a very intriguing start I think.  Can’t wait to discover more.

What you reading this Friday??  What are your first impressions??
