Happy Friday everybody!
Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by
Rose City Reader.
The Friday 56 is hosted at
Freda's Voice.
Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the
participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest,
the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
This week I pulled
Trace of Magic by Diana Pharaoh Francis from my TBR mountain. Actually, it is on my Kindle. Here is the description:
Even the most powerful tracers can't track you if the magical trace you
leave behind is too old. But I can track almost anything, even dead
trace. That makes me a unicorn, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and
the Loch Ness Monster all rolled into one. In a word, I am unique. A
very special snowflake. And if anyone ever finds out, I'll be dead or a
slave to one of the Tyet criminal factions.
Riley Hollis has
quietly traced kidnapped children and quietly tipped the cops to their
whereabouts one too many times. Now she's on the radar of Detective Clay
Price, a cop in the pocket of a powerful magic Tyet faction. When he
blackmails her into doing a dangerous trace for him, Riley will have to
break every rule that keeps her safe. Or become a Tyet pawn in a deadly,
magical war.
Beginning:
Everybody leaves a magical trail of sorts, like an indelible ribbon unrolling behind them.
Friday 56:
My mistake was in hoping that Price wouldn't follow me. He filled the doorway, trapping me inside.
Ooh, this one sounds exciting. I like the image of "an indelible ribbon unrolling behind him." Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “THE DENIM BLUE SEA”
The cover would make me pause and check it out further. I couldn't help but smile when I read a unicorn, the tooth fairy...I would read on.

This does sound exciting! I'm adding this one to my own mountain!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my 56 with Book Beginnings and my Last List Blog Hop Review and Giveaway (ending in two days).
Omg, Pharaoh is an absolutely amazing middle name, I'm jealous! This sounds like a really interesting read and I love the slightly self-deprecating and sarcastic sense of humour in the blurb! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have an amazing weekend!
